¹ In Mud. iii. 8, Nāfi‘ is asked his opinion on the question whether one ought to lay waste enemy country; but his alleged answer is shown as spurious by the development of doctrine on this point since Umaiyad times (see above, p. 144 f., and below, p. 204 f.). Occasionally, remarks of Nāfi‘ appear appended to his traditions, but none of them seems to be authentic.
