Likewise, Ibn Mujāhid (d. 324)—famous complier of the seven—used to say, “Whoever recites according to the reading of Abū ʿAmr, follows al-Shāfiʿī’s school of thought, trades in fine fabrics, and narrates from the poetry of Ibn al-Muʿtazz— his charm is complete.”

These are the most significant early scholars of qirāʾāt.

Abū ʿUbayd al-Qāsim b. Sallām (d. 224)—the famous scholar and the first to author in the science of Qirāʾāt—said about al-Imām al-Shāfiʿī, “I have not seen a man more intelligent than al-Shāfiʿī.”

In another narration he adds, “nor more pious, nor more eloquent.”

Riddle by Ibn al-Subkī (d. 771) 🤔

Who is it that, by the consensus of all creation, is better than... the best of Companions: Abū Bakr and ʿUmar

As well as ʿAlī and ʿUthmān, and he is ... a youth from the Ummah of the Chosen One, the Elect One from Muḍar

فائدة: قوله تعالى {وإذا قاموا إلى الصلوة قاموا كسالى يراءون الناس ولا يذكرون الله إلا قليلا} يستنبط منه ما يقوله أصحابنا من استحباب مد التكبيرات لئلا يخلو شيء من صلاته عن ذكر.

‏ولذلك قال في التحقة أن الإمام في "سكتته" قدر قراءة المأمومين الفاتحة في الجهرية يشتغل بذكر أو قران سرا. قال: والقران أولى، وهو ظاهر إذ هو أفضل الذكر.

تعجيل صلاة المغرب آكد من غيرها لأمرين:

‏(١) قصر وقت الاختيار كما في حديث جبريل
‏(٢) الخروج من الخلاف

‏وقد قال إمام الحرمين: اتفقت طبقات الخلق في الأعصار على مبادرة هذه الصلاة.

Hastening the Maghrib prayer is more emphasised than other prayers for two reasons:

(1) The short duration of its preferred time (waqt al-ikhtiyār), as indicated in the ḥadīth of Jibrīl

(2) To exit the difference of opinion regarding its time

Imām al-Ḥaramayn (d. 478) said in his Nihāyah: “All generations of people throughout the ages are unanimous on hastening this prayer.”

This supports al-Ramlī’s opinion that knowledge is better than the intellect, contrary to Ibn Ḥajar.

The knowledge of the learned and the intellect of the intelligent once argued,
About which of them had attained greater honour.

Knowledge claimed, “I have achieved the ultimate honour!”
While intellect said, “Through me, the Most Merciful is known.”

Then knowledge spoke eloquently and asked him,
“Which of us did God attribute to Himself in His Book?”

Thus, it became clear to intellect that knowledge was its master,
And so intellect kissed the head of knowledge and withdrew.

From the karāmāt of al-Imām al-Shāfiʿī

In al-Shāfiʿī’s final illness, Ashhab—Mālik’s student—prayed for al-Shāfiʿī’s death, saying, “O Allāh, cause al-Shāfiʿī to die, or else the knowledge of Mālik may disappear!”

This was mentioned to al-Shāfiʿī, so he responded with some poetry:

“People have wished for my death, and if I die,
This is a path in which I am not alone.

So tell the one who seeks the opposite of what has passed,
To prepare for another similar to it, as if it has already happened.”

Ashhab died 18 days after Shāfiʿī, just as he’d predicted.

al-Shabrāmallasī (d. 1087) initially used to revise the Tuḥfah, until he saw al-Ramlī (d. 1004) in his dream, telling him, “Revive my words, O ʿAlī, may Allāh revive your heart!”

He then worked on his famous gloss on al-Ramlī’s Nihāyah.

Performing an act of worship for worldly benefits...

According to Ibn ʿAbd al-Salām (d. 660), this dissolves all rewards for this act.

al-Ghazālī (d. 505) suggests that this would be the case only if his primary intention was worldly gains. If not, he receives a reward but of a lesser amount.

Let’s play a little #GuessTheAuthor

Allāh says: “And from His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and your colours.”

This includes Arabic and non-Arabic, so He mentioned the differences in language as the speech of creation.

Dr Muṣṭafā al-Qalyūbī writes:

“Whoever contemplates the Tuḥfah and goes through its footnotes (ḥawāshī), as well as the numerous corrections (istidrākāt) upon it, and compares it to what is in the Nihāyah, he would find that the Nihāyah is safer from objections, and that many things that were corrected from Ibn Ḥajar were granted to al-Ramlī as they were.

So it shall be said: al-Ramlī took the best of what is in the Tuḥfah, and left what was objected to, and he likewise took the best of what is in al-Khaṭīb’s explanation, with some abbreviation in wording. He then changed what he saw as not relied-upon with what he viewed to be the relied-upon opinions, and he agreed with his father, al-Shihāb, in many issues.”

Of course, al-Ramlī did not copy-paste the Tuḥfah word-for-word, but he heavily relied upon it, while correcting what he disagrees with, and including additional benefits in his work.

ʿUmar al-Baṣrī (d. 1037)—al-Ramlī’s student—was asked about the striking similarity between the three Shurūḥ.

He mentions that in the first quarter, al-Ramlī follows the Mughnī while embellishing from the Tuḥfah, and in the remaining quarters, he follows the Tuḥfah.

Ibrāhīm al-Maymūnī (d. 1079) narrates from his teacher al-Shanawānī (d. 1019), who said: “I was sitting with Ibn Ḥajar al-Haytamī (d. 974), facing the Kaʿbah, when a man came to him and said, “Sh Muḥammad al-Ramlī (d. 1004) has claimed your explanation of the Minhāj and attributed it to himself!”

So Ibn Ḥajar prostrated for gratitude and said, “By Allāh, I had intended that nothing of this knowledge be attributed to me, for my goal is to share it freely from myself. What I have acquired of this knowledge is for the people, so they may benefit from it. Once that is achieved, I do not care who claims it as their own.”

al-Samʿānī (d. 489) writes: “For indeed, he who cannot grasp the foundations (uṣūl) of the meanings of jurisprudence cannot escape the pitfalls of blind following (taqlīd) and would be considered among the unlearned masses.”

Compare this statement to those who claim that the science of uṣūl, or most of it, is a bidʿah, and think they are Mujtahidūn, when they are not but following their desires, though they perceive it not.

من #الألغاز_الفقهية: عندنا ماءان يصح الطهارة بهما منفردين، فإذا تخالطا، حرم الطهارة به ولم تصحّ.

صورته: الأول ماء مطلق، والآخر ماءٌ تغيّر كثيرًا بمخالط طاهر لا يستغنى عنه، فقالوا: يجوز الطهارة به للضرورة ولمشقة الاحتراز.

وأما لو صُبَّ الثاني في الأول، فتغيّر به، فيضرّ إذ هذا الاختلاط مستغنى عنه تمامًا.

هذا فرعٌ ذكره ابن أبي الصيف اليمني كما نقله الإسنوي وأقره. وهذا هو القياس، وبه قال الرملي والخطيب وغيرهما، وإن خالف فيه ابن حجر، قياسًا على التغير بالملح المائي.

وقد نظمت ذلك بقولي:

ماءان طهرٌ لا يصحّ منهُما ... مُخَلَّطين، لا بمُفرَديهما

‏فذانِ: ماءٌ مطلقٌ والآخَرُ ... بخلطِ شيءٍ طاهرٍ مُغيَّرُ

‏وصونُ ماءٍ عنه ليسَ يسهُلُ ... فجاز للحاجةِ أن يُستعمَلُ

لكن إذا أضيف ذا للمُطلقِ ... فغَيّر الماء كثيرًا ما بقي

‏مطهّرًا، إذ صونه لم يعسُرِ ... عن خلطِه، وخالفَ ابن حجرِ

‏فقال فيه: لا يضر الأوجَهُ ... لأنه بملح ماءٍ أشبهُ

When the two prisoners mentioned their dream to Sayyidnā Yūsuf, and he interpreted it to them....

According to Ibn Masʿūd’s explanation, they said: “We didn't see anything!” Sayyidnā Yūsuf responded: “The matter has been decreed (قُضي) about what you inquire.”

Ibn Masʿūd comments: “He means: the explanation has taken place.”

Meaning that it doesn’t matter if the dream was a lie. This is a further evidence that interpretation of dreams is not self-acquirable, but is divinely inspired knowledge from the Decree (قضاء) of Allāh, for chosen individuals.
