Links to specific Muslim sources cause cloning of links to the general source
From the article Gharqad:

"*
 * Sunan ibn Majah, 36:152.
 * Sunan ibn Majah, 36:152.

Narrations that do not mention the Gharqad tree, rather, only mention stones talking or also trees talking, are:



As can be read, links to specific sources from Sahih Muslim and links to specific sources from Sahih Al-Bukhari repetitively cause cloning of links to the general source.

How to prevent this cloning?

Thanks. 2A10:8012:7:1FEE:8D64:920A:4944:C1F (talk) 13:28, 8 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I am guessing that you mean that the first part, identifying the collection, each time links to a Wikipedia article on the collection. That is a fairly common approach in templates for identifiers (items identified by a code). For example, in the PubMed identifiers and, the PMID bit links to a Wikipedia article giving information about PubMed identifiers in general. Another example are International Standard Book Numbers: the first bits of ISBN 978-0-521-85867-0 and ISBN 978-0-8137-2376-1 link to the article on these identifiers. If you want to avoid the link on the first item, you have to spell it out in the wiki text, like Sahih Muslim and Sahih al-Bukhari. Then, replace the part   by  :
 * Sahih Muslim,.
 * Sahih al-Bukhari,.
