In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Imam Ibn Hajar said, “The Judge Jamaal Ad-Deen, Abu Abdillah Ar-Reemiy, the jurist, Ash-Shaafi’ee, was born in the year 710AH. He acquired knowledge of the religion from various Shaikhs in Yemen, studied hadith transmission under the jurist Ibraaheem Bin Umar Al-Alawi, and authored an explanation of At-Tanbeeh in almost 20 Volumes. He was a teacher, issued fatwas, and was highly sought after in Yemen. He gained widespread recognition and passed away in the year 791AH in Zabid. Jamaal Al-Misri Muhammad Bin Abee Bakr from Zabid informed me that he witnessed his death and his tongue became swollen and turned black. It was believed that this was a result of speaking ill of Shaikh Muhyiddin An-Nawawee”. (1)

So, let it be known to Muhammad Hijaab and all those who speak ill of the erudite Salafi Scholar Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan or any other upright scholar, that his wrongful actions can be summed up in the following poem:

يُخاطِبُني السَفيهُ بِكُلِّ قُبحٍ
فَأَكرَهُ أَن أَكونَ لَهُ مُجيبا
يَزيدُ سَفاهَةً فَأَزيدُ حِلماً
كَعودٍ زادَهُ الإِحراقُ طيبا

The fool addresses me with every repugnant (expression etc), but I hate to be a respondent, so he increases in foolishness and I increase in forbearance, just as Oud increases in good smell when burnt.

To be continued…InShaaAllah

وقال ابنُ حَجَرٍ: (القاضي جمالُ الدِّينِ أبو عَبدِ اللهِ الريميُّ الفَقيهُ الشَّافِعيُّ، وُلِدَ سَنةَ عَشْرٍ وسَبْعِمائةٍ، وتفَقَّه على جماعةٍ مِن مشايخِ اليمَنِ، وسَمِعَ الحديثَ مِنَ الفَقيهِ إبراهيمَ بنِ عُمَر العَلَويِّ، وشَرَحَ التنبيهَ في نحوٍ مِن عِشرينَ مُجَلَّدًا، ودَرَّس وأفتى وكَثُرَت طَلَبتُه ببلادِ اليمَنِ، واشتَهَر ذِكْرُه وبَعُدَ صِيتُه، وكانت وفاتُه سنة 791 بزَبِيدٍ، أخبَرَني الجَمالُ المِصريُّ محمَّدُ بنُ أبي بَكرٍ بزَبِيدٍ أنَّه شاهَدَه عند وفاتِه وقد اندَلَعَ لِسانُه واسوَدَّ، فكانوا يَرَونَ أنَّ ذلك بسَبَبِ كَثرةِ وَقيعَتِه في الشَّيخِ مُحْيي الدِّينِ النَّوَويِّ رَحِمَه اللهُ تعالى
