If you have understood this then know that I, even though I prefer like others the al-Sahliyyah edition against which I corrected my copy, I do not say: All other than it, from the editions upon which the commentator al-Fasi and others relied upon as being accurate, are not to be given attention if they differ with the al-Sahliyyah in some wording…Rather I say: It is possible for there to be a number of accurate editions, all of them being written by the author. Their differences being in terms of addition or subtraction…or his preferring a wording over another. They are all, if they are in agreement with the Arabic language, relied upon. Also if the wording in the Salat is transmitted from the Prophet ﷺ or some of the elders, then it is possible that this wording has a number of transmissions which the author used at times, then another transmission was preferred by him. All of them are correct and the reciter will be rewarded in any case.

The girl then spat into a well which miraculously overflowed with pure sweet water for al-Jazuli to perform ablutions.
