The Thiqaat of Makkah

Shaikh Muhammad Baazmool (may Allaah preserve him) stated that [Imaam] Adh-Dhahabi (rahimahullaah) stated in Meezaan Al-I’tidaal that this biography is found in the book [Su’aalaat Abee Daawud] by [Imaam] Ahmad Bin Hanbal regarding criticism and appraisal of the narrators. He mentioned a group amongst the Makkans, their state of affairs in relation to transmission of reports, criticism and appraisal of the narrators till the third generation.

The People of Makkah Are More Knowlegeable Regarding The Manaasik (Rites of Hajj and Umrah):

The people of Makkah are more knowledgeable regarding the Manaasik (rites of Hajj and Umrah) than the people of Koofah. Al-A’mash said, “Habeeb bin Abee Thaabit said to me, ‘The people of the Hijaaz and Makkah are more knowledgeable regarding the rites of Hajj and Umrah!’ So I said, “You are from them and I am from your companions; you do not bring a letter except that you narrate a hadeeth about it”.

Ataa Bin Abee Rabaah

A Scholar of Makkah (especially) in subject matter of Hajj and Umrah

Rabee’ah said: Ataa excelled the people of Makkah in issuing verdicts (i.e. in the subject matter of hajj and umrah rites).

It was narrated from Sufyaan Bin Uyaynah, from Abdi Rabbihi Bin Sa’eed who said that Muhammad Bin Ali said: None amongst the people who remained were more knowledgeable than (Ataa) in the subject matter of Hajj.

Abu Zur’ah was asked about Ataa bin Rabaah, so he said: A Makkan and Thiqatun (reliable or trustworthy).

What Do I Owe My Parents? – Shaykh Zayd bin Haadi

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on May 13, 2016. Posted in Articles, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Family & Women, Seeking Knowledge.

Al Allaamah Zayd bin Haadi Al Madhkhalee (rahimahullah) said:

“The greatest act of good (towards parents) is that the son whom Allaah has bestowed upon him with some (Islamic) knowledge, that from it, he offers (teaches) it to his parents as a first priority.

And this is better than being good to them by giving them money or anything other than that.

Then (it follows that) he should be good and dutiful to them with good words and good actions which pleases Allaah, then with that which pleases both of them (Parents).

[This applies to both Son and Daughter]”

The Best Gift from Parent to Child – Shaykh Zayd bin Haadi

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on May 12, 2016. Posted in Articles.

Al Allaamah Zayd bin Haadi Al Madkhalee (rahimahullah) said:

And the best thing that a father can give and present to his
son is teaching him Islamic knowledge and to connect him with the teachings of Islam and also to take care of him in this great affair, Along with safeguarding his body and his character, morals and manners. And his care is one that should be complete (in every way) and he (the father) is rewarded for it.

Therefore, what great reward will he have with Allaah the Blessed and the Most High.

And the female child is the same as the male child in regards to the care required from both parents. And this is with regards to the father. As for the mother, then her reward is also according to the good she does for her son and daughter.

Knowledge is Priceless – Shaykh Zayd bin Haadi

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on May 12, 2016. Posted in Articles, Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge.

Al Allaamah Zayd bin Haadi Al Madkhalee (rahimahullah) said:

“Knowledge is priceless, and its seeker has undoubtedly known its value, and he has given his utmost effort for him to become a patient and forbearing teacher, because he is an inheritor (of knowledge) from the inheritors of the Noble Prophet (upon him be the salaah and salaam).”

The Calamity of Ignorance & Its Trial – Shaykh Zayd bin Haadi

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on May 11, 2016. Posted in Articles, Purification of The Soul, Seeking Knowledge.

Al Allaamah Zayd bin Haadi Al Madkhalee (rahimahullah) said:

“And People are not exactly similar, the reality is that ignorance is like (different levels of) darknesses, and ignorance is from the greatest calamity and trial, especially when Allaah grants and favours you with an opportunity in your life for you to learn (Islamic knowledge), you instead spend your entire lifetime in enjoying your worldly physical existence, this is what (true and great) loss is.”
