The Haal of the Salaf with the Qur’aan by Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari
Download Arabic lecture from this link:
”Truly! Allaah wrong not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves”
Allaah (The Most High) said:
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظۡلِمُ ٱلنَّاسَ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ أَنفُسَہُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ
”Truly! Allah wrongs not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves.” [Soorah Yunus: Ayah 44]
Indeed, Allaah does not wrong mankind in anything by increasing their evil deeds or diminishing their good deeds; but the people are the ones who wrong themselves through disbelief, disobedience, opposition to the command of Allaah and what is similar to it. [Tafseer Al-Muyassar]
This Ayah and its Tafseer (in Arabic) was sent to us by Abu Aai’sha (Amjad khan). We ask Allaah to reward him for this great reminder; and we ask Allaah to include all of us amongst those who examine themselves at all times….Aameen.
[2] Truthfulness
Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
”The truthful heart is filled with the light of truthfulness alongside the light of Eemaan.” [Madaarij As-Saalikeen: 2/282]
Shaikh Sulaimaan b. Abdullaah b. Muhammad b. Abdul-Wahhaab – From the Imaams of the Da’wah – Abu Khadeejah
Fawaaid extracted by Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah (hafidhahullah)
Shaikh Sulaimaan b. Abdullaah b. Muhammad b. Abdul-Wahhaab (1233AH, rahimahullaah) was killed by the criminal representative of the Ottomans, Ibrahim Pasha the son of Muhammad Ali Pasha (leader of Egypt).
This Ibraheem Pasha came to Dir’iyyah to demolish the Salafi State. Shaikh Muhammad b. Ibraaheem Aalush-Shaikh stated in the introduction of Tayseer al-Azeez al-Hameed (p. 13) that Ibraaheem Pasha brought along with him singing women, musical instruments, alcoholic drinks. Also French Military Officers and English Naval Officers were present. Not once was the Adhaan heard from their encampment!
They brought Shaikh Sulaimaan b. Abdullaah in front of Ibraaheem Pasha in 1233H whilst they was the playing of musical instruments and singing. The Pasha’s hatred and desire to humiliate this scholar led him out to the graveyard. There he ordered the soldiers to stand surrounding the Shaikh with rifles pointed towards him.
Then the commanded to every soldier to fire one bullet each into the Shaikh’s body. The Shaikh’s body was torn to shreds. Shaikh Sulaimaan was 33 years old when they killed him. The soldiers were then commanded to gather his flesh and limbs together.
Then Ibraaheem Pasha went to the father of Shaikh Sulaimaan, to Imaam Abdullaah b. Muhammad b. Abdul-Wahhaab in order complete the hatred, envy and rancour he had in his wicked heart. He intended to humiliate Imaam Abdullaah and hurt him with news of his son’s murder: “We have killed your son.” This patient and righteous father (rahimahullaah) responded: “Even if you had not killed him, he would have died.”
(See al-Imaam al-Muhaddith Sulaimaan b. Abdullaah Aalish-Shaikh, of ash-Shimraanee, p.67-68).
1. Tayseer al-‘Azeez al-Hameed fee Sharhi Kitaab at-Tawheed.
By Shaikh Sulaimaan b. Abdullaah b. Muhammad b. Abdul-Wahhaab (d. 1233H).
He was the grandson of Shaikhul-Islaam.
This was the first explanation of Kitaabut-Tawheed. It is considered amongst the lengthier explanations, but the Shaikh still did complete the explanation. He finished at the end of the “Chapter: Concerning What Has Been Related Concerning The Deniers Of Al-Qadr.” Then he passed away (rahimahullaah) and thus seven chapters were left incomplete.
Specific characteristics of this sharh:
1. It is considered amongst the largest explanations.
2. He narrated extensively from Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibnul-Qayyim and Ibn Hajr.
3. He gave the tafseer of the Quranic Aayaat.
4. He gave concern to takhreej and sourcing the Ahaadeeth with their chains of narrations.
5. It is distinguished with numerous Prophetic Ahaadeeth and Aathaar in the Sharh – their number reaching 615 with repetition. That is significant.
Benefit:
Every Sharh that was compiled after Shaikh Sulaimaan b. Abdullaah benefitted from his explanation. Shaikh Hamad b. ‘Ateeq (d. 1301H rahimahullaah) summarised this explanation in his book entitled, “Ibtaalut-Tandeed Bikhtisaar Sharh Kitaab at-Tawheed”. This was published with checking, Daar Atlas al-Khudaraa, Riyadh, 1424H.
Other editions include the Tahqeeq and checking of Shaikh Ahmad Shakir (rahimahullaah).
These are the Imaams of the Da’wah, the carriers of the banner of Tawheed, living and dying to uphold it.
A Reminder: A tremendous reward in Jannah
Allaah (The Most High) said:
وَعِنْدَهُمْ قَاصِرَاتُ الطَّرْفِ عِينٌ
كَأَنَّهُنَّ بَيْضٌ مَكْنُونٌ
”And with them will be chaste females, restraining their glances (desiring none except their husbands), with wide and beautiful eyes. (Delicate and pure) as if they were (hidden) eggs (well) preserved.” [As-Saffaat: Aayaat 48-49]
And in a hadeeth reported by Abu Hurairah, the women of Jannah are described as follows: ‘’The marrow of the bones of the wives legs will be seen through the flesh out of excessive beauty.’’ [Bukhari: Number 3245]
We ask Allaah (The Most High) to grant us Tawfeeq to fear and obey Him as He should be feared and obeyed. We ask Him (The Most Merciful) to show us forgiveness, overlook our short comings and forgive us our sins, and enter us into paradise. …Aameen
The wife raising her voice towards her husband – Shaykh Uthaymeen
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Shaykh Uthaymeen was asked about a woman who raises her voice and shouts at her husband:
(Paraphrasing)
Indeed raising of the wife’s voice towards her husband is from evil manners, and that is because he is her protector and he takes care of her.*
Therefore it is a must that she respects him and addresses him with manners. Because that is more likely to create affection between them and enables friendship and love to remain between them. Likewise the husband must also treat her kindly. So good manners and kind treatment is mutual, Allah the Most High said:
…And treat them kindly; then if you hate them, it may be that you dislike a thing while Allah has placed abundant good in it.
Soorah An-Nisaa’ Verse 19
Fataawa Noor alad Darb li ibn Uthaymeen
* Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allah and to their husbands), and guard in the husband’s absence what Allah orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband’s property, etc.). As to those women on whose part you see ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allah is Ever Most High, Most Great.
Soorah An-Nisaa Verse 34
”O Allaah! These people do not know me, but You know me”
Ataa As-Sulaymee (rahimahullaah) said:
”I heard Ja’far Ibn Yazeed (rahimahullaah) mentioning that a man once went past a gathering, so they praised him with good. When he left them, he said: ”O Allaah! Indeed these (people) do not know me, but You know me.” [Source: Kitaab As-Samt’ of Ibn Abee Dunyaa. Page: 272]
Two Leaders Who Gave up Their Leadership in Order to Worship Allaah – As‐Saheehah (no. 2833) of Shaikh al‐Albaanee
As‐Saheehah (no. 2833) of Shaikh al‐Albaanee (rahimahullaah):
‘The Banoo Israa’eel appointed a leader (Khaleefah) to be in charge of them after Moosaa (alayhis-salaam.) So he stood praying above Jerusalem, in the moonlight. So he remembered some things which he had done, and he departed, and he let himself down with a rope. So in the morning the rope was hanging from the mosque, and he had gone. He said: So he went off until he came to a people on the coast. So he found them striking bricks, or making bricks. So he asked them: ‘What do you take for these bricks?’ He said: So they informed him, so he made bricks along with them. So he used to eat from the wages he earned with his hand, and when it was time for Prayer he would stand and pray.
So the workers informed the chief of their town that amongst us there is a man who does such and such. So he sent a message to him, but he refused to go to him. This happened three times. Then he came riding upon his riding-beast. So when he saw him he fled, so he followed him and overtook him. He said: ”Let me speak to you.” He said: So he stood until he spoke to him, and he informed him of his story. So when he informed him that he was a king, and that he had fled from fear and awe of his Lord, he said: ”I think that I will join you.” He said; So he followed him,and the two of then worshipped Allaah until they died at the Rumaylah of Egypt.
Abdullaah said: ‘If I were there I would be able to find their graves, because of the description which Allaah’s Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) gave to us.
Reported by al-Bazzaar in his Musnad (4/267/3869), by way of `Amr ibn Abee Qays: from Simaak- meaning Ibn Harb: from al-Qaasim ibn `Abdir-Rahmaan: from his father: from `Abdullaah ibn Mas`ood: from the Prophet; and he said: ”We do not know anyone to have reported it from Simaak: from al-Qaasim except for `Amr; and al-Mas`oodee reported it from Simaak: from `Abdur-Rahmaan: from his father, and he did not mention al-Qaasim.”
I say: The narration of al-Mas`oodee was reported by Ahmad (1/451) and Aboo Ya`laa (9/261/5383), by way of Yazeed ibn Haaroon: al-Mas`oodee related to us: from Simaak ibn Harb: from `Abdur-Rahmaan ibn `Abdillaah: from Ibn Mas`ood who said:…, and he mentioned it.
And the two of them are supported by Qays ibn ar-Rabee`: from Simaak ibn Harb-with it, and he also did not mention al-Qaasim in its chain. This was reported by at-Tabaraanee in al-Mu`jamul-Kabeer (10/216/10370), and in al-Awsat also (2/112/1/6743), and he said:
‘No one reports it from Simaak except Qays ibn ar-Rabee’!
That is what he said! However al-Mas`oodee supported his narration, as did `Amr ibn Abee Qays-as has preceded; and even though he differed with them by mentioning al-Qaasim ibn `Abdir-Rahmaan in the chain; and their narration is more correct, even though they each had something regarding their memorization, however each one strengthens the other; and `Amr ibn Abee Qays-and he is ar-Raazee was truthful (sadooq), but made mistakes-as occurs in ‘at-Taqreeb’. So if he correctly preserved it, then it is possible to say that Simaak heard it from al-Qaasim from his father, then he heard it from his father directly; and perhaps what al-Haythumee did indicates this, as he said (10/219):
‘Reported by al-Bazzaar, and by at-Tabaraanee iin ‘al-Awsat’ and in ‘al-Kabeer’, and its chain is ‘hasan’.’
I say: So he combined the narrations of al-Bazzaar and at-Tabaraanee, despite their differing concerning their narration from Simaak. So it is as if he is indicating that there is no difference which will cause any harm between them.
And before this he brought the narration of Ahmad and Aboo Ya’laa, and he said after it: ‘And their chain contains al-Mas’oodee, and his memory deteriorated.’
And as-Suyootee fell short in ‘al-Jaami’ul-Kabeer’ (no. 6404) when he attributed it to ‘al-Mu`jamul-Kabeer’ alone!!’
The wording of the narration of Ahmad (1/451/4312) is:
‘Whilst a man from those who came before you was in his kingdom he reflected, and he knew that it was going to come to an end for him, and that his situation was preoccupying him away from the worship of his Lord. So he crept away one night and escaped from his castle, and he came to the coast, and he used to make bricks for wages. So he would eat, and he would give what remained in charity…..’ and: ‘… so the two of them worshipped Allaah-the Mighty and Majestic-together. So they supplicated to Allaah to cause them to die together. He said: So they died.’
‘Abdullaah said: ‘If I were at the Rumaylah of Egypt I could show you their graves, based upon the description given to us by Allaah’s Messenger).’

Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah sent this Message via WhatsApp [Beautiful Dars at Shaikh Rabee’s House]
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah (ma Allaah preserve him) wrote:
A large body of brothers here at Shaikh Rabee’s house from the UK, USA, Canada etc. Beautiful Dars by the Shaikh in the topic of Imaan. Sh. Rabee spoke about the means of strengthening Imaan: Reciting the Qur’aan, righteous deeds and Allaah’s remembrance. Shaikh Rabee stated the aqeedah of Ahlus Sunnah is that Imaan is speech & action, it increases and decreases. Then he refuted the Murji’ah. He went on to establish that the affairs are in the Hands of Allaah and His Decree, so a person relies upon Allaah, fully.
Sh. Rabee said that the believer knows the affairs are decreed by Allaah so he knows no one can harm him or benefit him except by His Decree. Sh. Rabee mentioned the importance of salaah and sadaqah. Prayer upon the Sunnah of the Prophet & Sadaqa upon the generosity of the Prophet.
Sh. Rabee stated that these are the means of strengthening Imaan. And its opposite is abandonment of righteous deeds & commission of sins. Messenger said: If you partake in interest, hold on to the tails of cattle, satisfied with cultivation of the earth & abandon jihad… The Prophet continued: “Then Allaah will send down upon them humiliation & He will not remove it till you return back to your Deen.” Allaah stated: “If you aid Allaah’s deen, Allaah will aid you..” So it is not the greatness of numbers because the Companions were not many. Shaikh Rabee continued: Rather the Sahaabah were small in number yet Allaah gave them victory over their adversaries from the Romans & Persians. Sh. Rabee: That victory was due to their Imaan, their aqeedah, their manhaj, their piety. So Allaah made them victorious.
The Messenger mentioned a time when the disbelievers will take from the Muslim lands just like the guests take from the food of the host. And the Messenger explained that this is not due to the small number of Muslims in that time, rather they will be many in number, but… The Messenger cont’d: The Muslims will be like the scum carried by the flood water (even though they will great in number). Shaikh Rabee stated: This is the state of many of the Muslims today, they are like the scum carried by the flood water. So upon you is steadfastness upon the Deen, to hold to the truth and sincerity and righteous deeds – to strengthen your Imaan. Sh. Rabee ended with supplicating to Allaah to give us steadfastness upon the Sunnah and to grant us success in that which pleases Allaah. May Allaah reward the Shaykh, preserve him, protect him and make him a cause of benefit for the ummah. Ameen.
