The Oriental scholar will easily see where I base my statements upon my own researches and where I have followed Goldziher and Snouck. My chief source of information, apart from the six great books of tradition, has been the invaluable compilation of Soj[=u]t[=i], the great Kanz el-'Umm[=a]l (Hyderabad, 1314). To those who do not read Arabic may be recommended the French translation of the Boch[=a]r[=i], of which two volumes are now published: _El-Bokâhri, les traditions islamiques traduites ... par_ O. Houdas and W. Marçais. Paris, 1906. Of general works dealing with the questions I have touched, the following, to which I owe a considerable debt, may be recommended:-- J. Goldziher. Muhammedanische Studien, Halle, 1889 and following year. Die Religion des Islams (Kult. d. Gegenw., I, iii. 1). C. Snouck Hurgronje. De Islam (de Gids, 1886, us. 5 f.). Mekka. The Hague, 1888.
