The first recorded attempt at flight was in Cordoba
In the ninth century Abbas ibn Firnas built a glider of silk and feathers and leapt from a height in Cordoba. He stayed in the air for a time before a rough landing that injured his back. A crater on the far side of the Moon now carries his name.

التَّخْرِيج
Takhrij
Tracing a hadith to the books that recorded it, gathering its chains, and then grading it.
The work has three steps: find where it was narrated, collect every route it came by, and weigh them together. It is the step most often skipped when a hadith is quoted online. A proper takhrij gives the source and the verdict, so a reader can check the claim instead of trusting whoever is quoting it.

Confidence in numbers is the subtlest shirk of armies
