THE MUSLIM EDUCATIONAL METHODOLOGY 189

'Abdullah bin 'All bin M. M. al-Farra, Dulaf, Abu Huraira, Ibn Qudama,
'Abdul-Ghanl, Ahmad bin Tariq, etc. Tuesday, 19 Rabi' al-Akhir, 561 A.H.
By copying this, even with abridgement, Ibn Qudama al-Maqdisi estab-
lishes two points:
1. That he has the authority to use this manuscript for the purposes
of teaching and quotation, since he learned it through the proper
channels.
2. That this copy of Ibn Mqja is a duplicate of the same original that was
read to his teacher, so he is not violating any rules of transmission.
Below I have provided a summary of the notes for the sixth part; as the
manuscript's binding is no longer in fair condition the pages have been
shuffled and out of order for some time, meaning that a few pages may
be misplaced or missing. I verified that no sheets from other parts entered
this portion, since pages often mention which part they belong to in their
reading notes. 50

50 The original reading notes contain much detail, pertaining to the method of
transmission used (e.g ijaza or sarna), and in some cases whether only a portion of the
text was read. Here I have sufficed with a simple outline of all the transmission
chains.
