Remarks
In a copy of al-Jami' by Abd Allah ibn Wahb (d. 813), colored inks (red/green) and round brackets (taḥwīq) were used to denote textual variants (p. 272). Similarly, in the 16th century, Ḥusayn al-ʿĀmilī al-Ḥārithī recommended the letter hāʾ (mashqūqah) be used to distinguish author commentary from ḥadīth text (p. 269).
