Do we have a lot of Israelis here?

In the statistics, the post views from Israel are often 2nd or 3rd place. So I'm wondering whether it's actual Israelis coming here, or whether it's just some Israeli AI watching everything related to Arabs.

So are you Israeli? And why are you learning? Is this a sign that Israelis are trying to integrate into the Arab environment? Or are you all from secret service?

Sahih al-Bukhari was never fully translated into English

It has additional hadiths with non-sahih chains under chapter names. And it has the isnads in the regular hadiths - the isnads should be translated too. Aren't the isnads supposed to be the most important?

And we need a critical edition that looks at the surviving manuscripts and tells us about the variants. This should have been done a long time ago. We're debating Sahih al-Bukhari for so long and it wasn't even fully translated until this day.

The bows, arrows and shields of Gog and Magog

There is this prophecy in the hadiths (Ibn Majah 4076):

>The Muslims will use the bows, arrows and shields of Gog and Magog as firewood, for seven years.

I have some questions: Why are Gog and Magog technologically stuck in the 7th century? And where are they? And how do they have so much of these things? And from what trees do they produce it? And do Muslims read a prophecy like this and think: "Yeah, that makes sense. Totally not a product of its time"?

Haifa Wehbe lyrics

When you look at the lyrics for قالولي عنو, the first line says قالولي عنه كلام عشان اجاريه, but when you listen to the actual song, the last word is clearly "agafi". So why the kalimat say ajari? And what is agafi anyway and how is it written? And I hope that ر is not read as ف in dialect.
