اطلاع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على تصانيف أمته.

تعلم أنك لا تعلم، ولكنك لا تسأل فلا تعلم.
لا تسأل لأنك تخاف، تخاف أن يعرفوا أنك لا تعلم.

وتُترجم الأبيات الشعرية كالآتي:

تعلم أنك لا تعلم،
ولا تسأل لكي تعلم،
وتخاف أن تسأل،
لأنهم سيعلمون أنك لا تعلم. كمال باشا زاده
Bilmediğini bilirsin ama sormadığın için bilemezsin. Korktuğun için sormazsın, çünkü bilmediğini bileceklerinden korkarsın.

Bilürsün ki bilmezsin
Sormazsın ki bilesin
Korkarsın ki sormağa
Bilürler ki bilmezsin

(Kemalpaşazâde)

NORTH AFRICAN [ASHʿARI] HANAFISM

There has been a long tradition of Hanafism across North Africa (west of Egypt) where official posts were held by both Hanafis and Malikis, and they were occasionally distinguished through turban styles (as has been the case in other Muslim societies). One of the more recent examples of Hanafism grounded in traditional North African Islamic culture is the Ashʿari Shadhili, Muhammad Kamil b. Mustafa (may Allah have mercy upon him!) of Tripoli. He remarked that both his father, uncle and grandfather were expressing remorse over the fact that there weren’t any expert Hanafis left in their city and that nobody was spreading and teaching the madhhab; as such, they decided to send him off to al-Azhar to learn, to return, and to keep the ancestral tradition alive through him. To cut a long story short, he eventually authored a two-volume collection of legal responsa titled, al-Fatawa al-Kamiliyya fi al-Hawadith al-Tarabulusiyya. May Allah benefit us through the legacy of the fuqaha!

I’m not sure who comes up with this stuff, but this is hilarious!

قال الفضلُ بن خالد:

«كنتُ أبغضُ أبا حنيفة، فرأيتُ رسولَ الله ﷺ في المنام، فقال لي: إنَّ كلامَ أبي حنيفة ككلام لقمان الحكيم، لا بل يزيدُ عليه، فرجعتُ إلى عند أبي حنيفة».

PROPHETIC WORDS ON ABU HANIFA

Al-Faḍl ibn Khālid said:

“I used to harbor aversion toward Abū Ḥanīfa, but I saw the Messenger of God ﷺ in a dream, and he said to me: ‘The speech of Abū Ḥanīfa is like the speech of Luqmān the Wise—no, rather, it surpasses it.’ So I returned to Abū Ḥanīfa.” (AI)

تنبيه نبيه

روي من وصية الخضر عليه السلام: لا تطلب العلم لتحدث به، واطلبه لتعمل به ..

الإمام السفاريني الحنبلي في إجازته للشيخ عثمان الرحيباني الحنبلي:

(والإجازات لا تفيد علمًا، فمن حصَّل العلوم، وأدرك منطوقها والمفهوم؛ فقد فاز، وأجيز على الحقيقة لا المجاز، ومن لا فلا، ولو ملأ سَبَتَ أمِّهِ إجازات)

LEARNING, TEACHING & FOLLY

Al-Sarakhsī, may God have mercy on him, said:

"Our teacher, Shams al-Aʾimma—may God have mercy on him—used to say: Abū Yūsuf, despite his sharp intellect and having studied for twenty years, was not deemed fit by Imām Abū Ḥanīfa to sit and teach. Yet in our time, someone learns fifty legal issues and then deems himself worthy of teaching." (AI)

في سنة (٨١٤هـ) سافر ابن الهمام (٨٦١هـ) إلى حلب صحبة العلامة محب الدين ابن الشحنة وكان قد بدأ الأخذ عليه في القاهرة، فأدركت المنية الشيخ في أوائل سنة (٨١٥هـ)، ومات بعد أن أوصى لتلميذه بنفقة يستعين بها ليعود إلى القاهرة!

هو في مرض موته ويوصي بنفقة تلميذه، ويشغله عودته لبلاده سالمًا.

بدلائلِ الخيراتِ كُنْ متمسِّكًا
والزَمْ قراءَتَها تنلْ ما تَبتَغي
فشوارِقُ الأنوارِ لائحة بها
فالتركُ منكَ لها لا ينبغي

BLESSED TEACHERS & BLESSED PLACES

Then al-Jaṣṣāṣ moved, in the year 360 AH, to Darb ʿAbda, where he took up teaching in the mosque located there. That same mosque had formerly been the place of instruction for Abū Saʿīd al-Baradhʿī, and it was there that Abū al-Ḥasan al-Karkhī received his legal training. Among those who later taught in it were Abū ʿAmr al-Ṭabarī, Abū Muḥammad Sahl ibn Ibrāhīm al-Qāḍī, followed by Abū ʿAlī al-Shāshī, then Shaykh Abū Bakr al-Rāzī, and thereafter our own teacher and master, Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārazmī. This is the very mosque in which we now teach, and we pray that we and those who frequent our gatherings may be joined to the blessings of these imams who preceded us in sitting within it.

FAKHR AL-DĪN ʿUTHMĀN IBN ʿALĪ AL-ZAYLAʿĪ

Fakhr al-Dīn al-Zaylaʿī (d. 743 AH) was a renowned Ḥanafī scholar of law, grammar, and inheritance. He moved to Cairo in 705 AH, where he taught, gave legal rulings, and wrote the Tabyīn al-Ḥaqāʾiq, a key commentary on Kanz al-Daqāʾiq.

يضيع العلم من الإنسان بأمرين: الكِبرُ الذي يمنعه من التعلّم، والخجلُ الذي يمنعه من السؤال.
العلم لا يُنال إلا بتواضعٍ وسؤال. فالمتكبّر يرى نفسه فوق التعلم، فيبقى جاهلاً رغم ما عنده، والخجول يستحي من السؤال، فيحرم نفسه من الفهم. ولذلك قالوا: من استحيا لم يتعلم، ومن استغنى لم يعلم. فطريق العلم يحتاج إلى جرأةٍ على السؤال، وتواضعٍ أمام من يعلم.

‘ILM, TALAQQI, AND ASANID

In a recent class with students of the Hanafi Legal Code Program (HLCP) at the @IrshadCentre, we discussed the proper method of seeking sacred knowledge, namely, fiqh al-talaqqi.

There is a proper method to attaining unto sacred knowledge, and when this is omitted, students acquire knowledge with their [untrained] mind, through the pushes and pulls of the algorithm or what’s popular, without guidance, and without asanid.

All of this results in the acquisition of disconnected factoids devoid of any spiritual impact or light because the conditions and integrals of sound acquisition were cast aside.

Knowledge is a light which passes from one heart to the next. Sufyan al-Thawri and others remarked: “They were only deprived from reaching because of their abandonment of the foundations.”

May Allah Most High show us the way and grant us tawfiq.
