Naḥw Joke Between Two Giants!

When Najm al-Dīn ʿUmar ibn Muḥammad al-Nasafī raḥimahullah (d.537 AH), the author of Al-ʿAqā'id al-Nasafiyyah (العقائد النسفية) and a prominent teacher of the author of Al-Hidāyah (الهداية), wanted to visit Al-Zamakhsharī raḥimahullah (d.538 AH) in Makkah, he came and knocked on the latter's door.

Al-Zamakhsharī asked: "Who is knocking on the door?"

Najm al-Dīn replied: "ʿUmar"

Al-Zamakhsharī said: "Turn away"

ʿUmar replied: "ʿUmar does not turn (i.e., it is ghayr munṣarif)"

Zamakhsharī shouted: "When it's unidentified (i.e., it is nakirah), it turns away!"

An Ironic Occurrence

Al-Suyūṭī rahimahullah (d.911 AH) is famously known to have written a book about plagiarism titled Al-Bāriq fī Qaṭʿ al-Sāriq. Ironically, however, his contemporary rival Al-Sakhāwī accuses him in his Irshād al-Ghāwī, pg.572-3, of stealing many of the latter's books!

That's the life!

At approximately 51 years of age, The Ḥanafī scholar Abu'l-Suʿūd Effendi raḥimahullah (d.982 AH) accompanied Sultan Suleyman the Magnificient in the Hungarian campaign of 1541 wherein the Ottomans took control of vast territories within Hungary. During the wars, he wrote a commentary upon Sūrah al-Fatḥ (The Chapter of Victory) from Tafsīr al-Kasshāf of Al-Zamakhsharī raḥimahullah (d.538 AH).

Imām Abū Ḥanīfah raḥimahullah (d.150 AH) & Kitāb al-Āthār

One of the members on our Ḥanafī Uṣūl al-Fiqh course sent me this video of the eminent Shaykh Muḥammad ʿAwwāmah (may Allah Taʿālā preserve him) wherein the esteemed Shaykh states that Imām Abū Ḥanīfah raḥimahullah was the first to write a book on authentic aḥādīth (authentic being in a general sense):

https://youtube.com/shorts/jZ0wYETp5lw?si=O0AA7PjVIrJbPGs_

While it definitely seems appealing, my slight feeble critique is:

1) Al-Suyūṭī did not claim that Imām Abū Ḥanīfah raḥimahullah (d.150 AH) was the first to write a book on accepted aḥādīth, rather, he records a claim that Imām Abū Ḥanīfah raḥimahullah (d.150 AH) was the first to write an ordered book

2) Even in regards to writing an ordered book, I wrote this in my book on page 79 (first screenshot) that the idea that Imām Abū Ḥanīfah raḥimahullah (d.150 AH) was the first to write ordered writing remains to be proven. Al-Suyūṭī raḥimahullah (d.911 AH) himself is not making this claim in his Tabyīḍ al-Ṣaḥīfah, rather, he is attributing this claim to others (second screenshot) and the researcher of Al-Suyūṭī’s book is right in stating that it could be Al-Muwaffaq al-Makkī raḥimahullah (568 AH) who states the same in his Manāqib book as can be seen in the third screenshot. In any case, it’s a strong claim and remains to be proven. Not to mention, that there are many problems with it. If anything, a stronger claim could be made for Ibn Jurayj raḥimahullah (d.150 AH) as mentioned by Abu’l-Muẓaffar al-Samʿānī raḥimahullah (d.489 AH).

Just my feeble two-pence, and I may be totally wrong as the Shaykh is a giant in knowledge. And Allah Taʿālā knows best. May Allah the Almighty preserve the Shaykh and allow us to emulate him in knowledge and practice.

Berke Khan and Najm al-Din al-Zahidi rahimahullah (d
658 AH), author of Qunyah al-Munyah and Al-Mujtaba Sharh al-Quduri


I came across this video on YouTube about Berke Khan's conversion at the hands of the Ḥanafī scholar, Najm al-Dīn al-Zāhidī raḥimahullah (d.658 AH):

https://youtu.be/w2w0JA6KIng

It would have been an amazing story if only it was true. In reality, Najm al-Dīn wrote the Al-Risālah al-Nāṣiriyyah near the end of his life, perhaps even the year of his death as mentioned by Madelung. In fact, in the treatise itself, Najm al-Dīn says that he is writing for the Muslim leader. Clearly, Berke had accepted Islam before this treatise.

Controlling the Tongue

Whenever you wish to speak, ask yourself, "Is there going to be benefit in what I say? Could my comment harm my life - or more importantly - my hereafter?" If the answer to either of these two questions is 'no', then silence will be a sign of your intelligence. The ignorant man's heart is at the tip of his tongue, while the intelligent man's tongue is behind his heart.

Two Unique Souls

A few days before Mufti Taha Karaan rahimahullah's passing, Mufti Ebrahim Desai rahimahullah sent a long audio to be played in front of him which was full of Du'as and expressions of love. Mufti Taha shed tears when this was played to him.

From "Mufti Ebrahim Desai - Brief Biography and Tribute, pg. 88"

Mufti Ebrahim Sb at that time probably had little idea that their noble souls would be meeting very soon.

Alhamdulillah I've got my copy!

I'm really looking forward to getting into reading this. Mufti Ebrahim Sahib was a beloved teacher to so many students like myself, and I doubt there is a single student of his who would not agree with me when I say that he made each and every one of us, a better human being firstly, and secondly, a better Muslim.

There have been numerous occasions in my life since his demise wherein I've told myself, "If Mufti Sahib were alive, I would have loved to have got his opinion on this." However, Allah had destined it such and we are pleased with the decree of Allah Ta'ala.

May Allah Ta'ala reward my dear friend, Maulana Adam Ahmed, who managed to get the book for me on his return from South Africa.

Tuhfah al-Abrar bi Sharh Muqaddimah Radd Al -Muhtar (تحفة الأبرار بشرح مقدمة رد المحتار) by Shaykh Muhammad Harun Ibn Muhibbir Rahman

The famous author of the commentary upon Mufti Taqi Sb's Usul Iftaa book, Al-Fath al-Rabbani Sharh Usul al-Ifta Wa Adabuhu has written another book which is a lot harder to access. It is a commentary upon the Muqaddimah of Radd al-Muhtar of Ibn Abidin raḥimahullah (d.1252 AH) and is filled with fawaid. Due to its rarity, I've scanned it and provide the pdf here:

Al-Ṣadr al-Shahīd - The Scholar Who Fulfilled His Pledge to Allah Ta’ala With His Life

It was around 29th Muharram 536 AH/9th September 1141, that ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz raḥimahullah, a leading scholar of Bukhārā, and teacher of great scholars such as the author of Al-Hidāyah, and the author of Al-Muḥīṭ al-Raḍawī, set off to participate in the Battle of Qatawān, just north of Samarkand. He was a well-respected scholar of the Kara-Khānid dynasty that was under Seljuk suzerainty, and the invading army was the Western Liao Dynasty. He bade farewell to his companions, perhaps even Ṣaḥib al-Hidāyah himself, as well as saying farewell to his children, as though he knew he would not be returning [Siyar Aʿlām al-Nubālā, 20:97].

He was martyred in this battle and is forever remembered as ‘Al-Ṣadr al-Shahīd’ or ‘Ḥusām al-Dīn al-Shahīd’. At this point, the Seljuk Empire lost control of the Western Kara-Khānid dynasty.

He is the author of Sharḥ al-Jāmiʿ al-Ṣaghīr and a founding father in formulating fatāwā works in the Ḥanafī madhhab.

Meeting Mufti Taqi Sb

Alhamdulillah, I had the honour of meeting someone whom I’ve never met before but have always considered a role-model, Mufti Taqi Uthmani. I presented my ḥadīth book to him in which I’ve discussed the Al-Mudawwanah al-Jāmiʿah.

I had prepared this message for him in a copy of the book back in August with the hope of giving it to him should he ever come to the UK. Allah Taʿālā made that a reality yesterday.

Don’t Upset Al-Kāsānī raḥimahullah (d.587 AH)!

Another advice when it comes to Al-Kāsānī raḥimahullah (d.587 AH) - the author of Badā'iʿ al-Ṣanā'ī - don't upset him. This is a man who will take his whip out to sort you out. He literally kept a lance with him at all times and loved horse-riding. His chivalry was unmatched!

ʿAlā’ al-Dīn al-Kāsānī raḥimahullah (d.587 AH), author of Badā’iʿ al-Ṣanā’iʿ

Ibn al-ʿAdīm (d.660 AH) writes in Bughyah al-Ṭalab fī Tārīkh Ḥalab that Al-Kāsānī (d.587 AH) often suffered from gout and would have to be taken on a stretcher to his classes. Also, his wife Fāṭimah was so talented that, at times, Al-Kāsānī would err in answering a fatwā, and she would correct him!

Meeting with Shaykh Talhah Bilal Manyar

I was very pleased to meet Shaykh Talhah Bilal Manyar today with my beloved teacher, Mufti Shabbir Sb. A very jovial scholar, and completely different to what I was expecting. He spoke about his time studying with Shaykh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah, how he worked on Lisan al-Mizan under Shaykh Abdul Fattah's tutelage and other interesting topics.

He stated that his current work on Bada'i' al-Sana'i' is still at its early stages (Kitab al-Taharah) whilst Said Bakdash has almost completed his tahqeeq of the book.
