7. Our Sheikh - may Allah The Most High have mercy on him said: Shareek BinAbdillah, An-Nakhee and Al-Amash said about the Raafidah: We do notcount them except as being the liars. And we say today about them: They are

from the greatest liars. In fact, they are from the devils. And the author of(the book) Uyoon-ul-Mujizaat is an accursed Raafidee. And from them arethose who affirm divinity for Alee Bin Abee Taalib, may Allah be pleased withhim (page 33)

8. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Al-Ikhwaan Al-Muflisoon 2 weredeluded by the revolution of Khomeini, the one who says: Indeed, our Imaamshave a station which has not been reached by a Prophet who was sent nor anAngel which is brought near. And he (Khomeini)says: None will establish theimportant matter except the awaited Mahdee who is in the cave (in Iraq). Andhe says: The texts of our Imaams are like the Quran, we revere them just as

we revere the Quran. (pages 33 & 34)

9. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: From the causes which aid theseeking of knowledge are:

1) Taqwa: O you who believe, if you have taqwa of Allah, He will makefor you a disti nguishing proof i.e. in what you distinguish between truthand falsehood, innovation and Sunnah and beneficial knowledge and otherthan it. He The Most High says: And have taqwa of Allah and Allah willt each you .

2) Reliance (tawakkul) upon Allah concerning provision until it does not divertyou away from seeking knowledge.

3) (Having) a high determination.4) Sitting with those who are eager and beneficial.5) Being far away from problems.6) Reading about the lives of the Salaf.7) Preserving the health (which) aids you in memorising the Quran. As for

illness, then it may make you forget some of the things which were learnt.(page 34)

10.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: That which aids memorisation, iseating sweet things which have heat in them, such as the date, the raisin,frankincense and drinking ginger and honey. And (drinking) more ginger (than

normal) hurts the blood and leads to becoming emaciated. And he (SheikhMuqbil said: And Az-Zuhree and Muhammad Bin Qaasim Al-Anbaaree used toabandon (eating) the apple due to what it contained from acidity out of fearfor their memory. (page 34)

11.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The one who shaves his beard is adisobedient one and the disobedient one is an open sinner (faasiq). And if he

12.He - may Allah have mercy on him said to the one who loves knowledge but isdistracted by that which prevents him from that: I advise him firstly tomemorise the Quran, then Riyaadh-us-Saaliheen. And with these two books hewill become an authority in admonition and guidance and he will know manythings. And he should memorise Buloogh-ul-Maraam and intensely read Fath-ul-Majeed, the explanation of Kitaab-ut-Tawheed. (page 36)

13.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Knowledge is through continuity,and otherwise there are those in the schools who are cleverer than us but theyhave been denied continuity. And he said: I have a masters degree and I didnot benefit from it, not even with the worth of an onion. (page 36)

14.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The tafseer of Ibn Jareer isconsidered to be the vastest of the tafseers (in size) due to the abundance ofahaadeeth and athaar in it. (page 36)

have earned, and He (Allah) pardons much. [Ash-Shoora, 30](page 38)

17.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The Sufis, the Sheeah and theHizbees are evil (munkar) in of themselves and they are in need of change. Sodo not wait for the changing of evil from them, because indeed they are evilin of itself. (page 39)

18.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Yemen believed in the message (ofIslam) and Alee Bin Abee Taalib, Khaalid Bin Waleed, Abu Musa Al-Ashareeand Muaadh Bin Jabal were sent there, so we have no need for Jamaat-ul-fasaad 3. (page 39)

He (the Sheikh) said: As for me, then

by Allah I love that I come out in a patched garment and my soul is contentand pleased, but all of my clothes come to me as gifts. (page 40)

1. He - may Allah have mercy on him dictated to us on the date of the 22ndJumaada Al-Aakhir 1420 Hijrah the names of those scholars from Ahlus-Sunnahwho died in the year 1420 and the one (year) before it. He said they were:Hammaad Al-Ansaaree, Umar Falaatah, the teacher in the Prophets mosqueand he used to teach in the Islamic university, Sheikh Saaleh Bin Gasoon,Sheikh Abdul-Qaadir As-Sindee, Ismaaeel Al-Ansaaree, Sheikh Ibn Baaz,Sheikh Al-Albaanee, Sheikh Muhammad Amaan, Muhammad Bin Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen. Then our Sheikh, Muqbil Bin Haadee Al-Waadiee, joined them,may Allah have mercy on all of them. (page 41)

2. He - may Allah have mercy on him when reading from Jaami-us-Saheeh FilQadr (and it is the book of our Sheikh) on the chapter regarding the heartsbecoming sealed, said: And you O student of knowledge, beware that Allahseals your heart and your insight and so you become not knowing anything...(page 41)

3. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: I remained seeking knowledge forthe length of three years amongst the Sheeah, and then Allah saved me fromthem. (page 42)

4. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: That which is better for the student

of knowledge is that he gathers together between these three: Teaching,dawah and compiling (works). (page 42)

5. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: They say: The word Salafee isinnovated. Rather, they are the innovation in of themselves. Go back to thebooks of ascriptions, history and the language and you will find its origin. (page 42)

6. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The people of Najd and the lands ofthe two holy mosques do not know Hizbeeyah (partisanship) like the way we

live with it. So, due to this, Ibn Jibreen sends (letters) to us (saying) that weco-operate with them (the Hizbees). And we too were like that, not knowingit. So, when it strangled us and seized us by our heads, we were compelled to

speak about it. (page 42)

7. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The Sufis are of (different) types,and the one from them who says: My heart informed me from my Lord, thenhe is a disbeliever. Al-Haafidh mentioned this in Kitaab-ul-Ilm. (page 43)

8. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Sheikh Ibn Baaz is an Imaam fromthe Imaams of the Muslims. In fact, he is the Imaam of the Muslims and he islike Abdullah Ibn Mubaraak. And as for Al-Albaanee, then he is a father to theSalafees, for indeed he has revived the Sunnan and the authentication andweakening (of narrations) after the ummah had thought that there was no oneto establish this. (page 43)

9. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Co-operation with Al-Ikhwaan-ul-Muslimoon is only in (giving) the salaam, and do not attend their lectures andtheir meetings and do not co-operate with them. (page 43)

10. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The prey of Jammat-ul-Fasaad 2 arethose who are zealous without knowledge. (page 44)

14. He - may Allah have mercy on him said about Muhammad Bin Zaahid Al-Kawtharee: He was a fool, and he abused and attacked Imaam Maalik, Ash-

Shaafiee, Ahmed Bin Hanbal, Al-Bukhaaree and Ibn Hibbaan. So, he was a fooland his attack upon the Imaams is not accepted. (page 47)

15. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Surooreeism is the dust cloth of theIkhwaan (ul-Muslimoon), for indeed it wiped upon us Ahmed Al-Mualim, Al-Baydaanee, Abdul-Majeed Ar-Raymee, Abdullah Al-Haashidee and Aqeel Al-Maqtaree. And the Suroorees have a magazine called the magazine of TheSunnah. In fact, it is a magazine of innovation, for indeed they abused in it

Sheikh Al-Albaanee and Ibn Baaz. And likewise, the magazine Al-Bayaan is(also) of innovation. (page 48)

16. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: They say: Why do you warn fromthe books of Muhammad Suroor and Sayyid Qutb and you do not warn from thebooks of Ibn Hajr and An-Nawawee despite them having mistakes in Aqeedah?He (the Sheikh) said): This speech makes a person laugh from his knee. 3(page 48)

17. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: When Ahlus-Sunnah aim the arrowsat a person, they destroy him and he has no support to support him after that,and the arena bears witness to that. And the one who takes heed, is the whotakes heed from other than himself, for indeed, they have already broughtdown As-Saaboonee, the author of Mukhtasar Ibn Katheer, At-Tahaan, Al-Qardaawee, Al-Ghazaaalee and many others besides them. (page 48)

18. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Ahlus-Sunnah have no one exceptAllah, The Mighty and The Majestic. And he (the Sheikh) used as a proof (forthis) His Saying, The Most High: Indeed, my Walee (Protect or, Support er andHelper) i s Al lah, t he One who revealed t he Book and He prot ect s (support sand helps) t he right eous.[Al-Araaf: 196] (page 48)

19. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: They say: The talk against Al-Ikhwaan-ul-Muflisoon 4 is counted as being backbiting. And indeed theMessenger of Allah said about the Khawaarij (that they will be): The dogs oft he Hell-Fireand (he said) to Abu Dharr: Indeed, you are a man who has in

him (the traits) of jaahileeyah. And he said to some of his wives: Indeed,you are (l ike) t he female companions of Yusuf. And he said (about a man):What an evil brother of the tribe. So, according to their way, they wouldcount this as backbiting, and far be it that the Messenger of Allah falls intothat. (page 49)

20. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Ahlus-Sunnah do not lowerthemselves with the societies and make permissible that which is forbidden,like what some of the parties and sects do. (page 49)

3 Translators note: i.e. it makes one laugh because of comparing the likes of these great scholars with adeviant like Sayyid Qutb. In a similar question posed to Sheikh Muqbil, the Sheikh replied:

The Prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam) said: If you do not have any shame, t hen do as you please.And I did not think that anyone would have the audacity to equate Sayyid Qutb with Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajr,the one who served the Sunnah with a service which has no equal. And his book, Fath-ul-Baaree, isconsidered a treasure of knowledge and it is considered an independent library.

(Nasaaih Wa Fadaaih, page 66, Maktabatus-Sanaa-Al-Athareeyah, 1425/2004, 2nd Edition, Sanaa)

22. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Shaking hands on the day of Eed isnot a Sunnah, but we have been afflicted by it. Visitors come to us on the dayof Eed and after it, so I say: I will not go out to them, but the closerelatives compel us to go out. And Allah is the One who gives aid. (page 50)

23. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The Nawaasib are the ones who haveset up enmity for the family of Muhammad (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam),whether it was an enmity with the sword, the tongue or the pen. (page 51)

1. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The ahaadeeth about the Miraaj(ascension to the heavens) are from the totality of the proofs for the Highnessof Allah, The Mighty and The Majestic. And the general people love the storyof the night journey and its ahaadeeth, for they aid them in the awareness orthe belief of the Highness of Allah. And they have a sound natural inclination(fitrah) which is better than those in the schools (of learning). (page 52)

2. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The one who kills himself believingit to be lawful, is a disbeliever. And likewise, the one who believes that themagician knows the unseen, then he is a disbeliever. (page 53)

3. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Ibn Taymeeyyah said about theRaafidah: They do not understand that which is known by the intellect andnor that which is conveyed from the texts. (page 54)

4. He - may Allah have mercy on him said about His Saying The Most High AndWe sent him (Yunus) to a hundred thousand or they were more: Perhapsthis verse increases the doubt with the atheists about the Quran and theysay: Your Quran comes with doubt. However, may Allah have mercy on ourscholars, for indeed they already clarified this before the atheists came acrossit with doubt, and they said three statements about it which are:

Firstly: It (the word or) comes with the meaning of rather (bal) i.e. ratherthey were more.Secondly: It comes with the meaning of and (waw) i.e. and they were more.Thirdly: It comes with doubt, but not with respect to Allah, high is Allahabove that with a great highness. Rather, the doubt is but indeed with the onewho saw them thinking that they were a hundred thousand or more, and thedoubt does not return to Allah. (page 53)




10/24


5. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Kitaab-us-Sunnah of Ibn Abee Aasimis from the best of the books of the Sunnah despite there being in it someweak ahaadeeth. However, it is better due to the abundance of its ahaadeeth.

And after it comes Kitaab-ush-Shareeah of Al-Aajooree. And the best bookabout Tawheed Al-Ulooheeyah is the book Fath-ul-Majeed the explanation ofKitaab-ut-Tawheed. (page 54)

6. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: It is obligatory upon Ahlus-Sunnah tolearn the Aqeedah due to the hadeeth of Muaadh Bin Jabal: Indeed you aregoing to a people f rom the people of t he book. (page 55)

7. He - may Allah have mercy on him said about Urwah Bin Zubair: The patientone who expected reward (from Allah), the one who when the news of thedeath of his son Yahya reached him that the horse had kicked him and he had

died, that he then said: If Allah has taken him, then indeed, He has left otherthan him for us. (page 55)

8. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Why did Sheikh Muhammad BinAbdul-Wahhaab mention in Kitaab-ut-Tawheed the prohibition of the pictureand what is its connection to Tawheed? One of the children replied to thisquestion and said: Because perhaps they (the pictures) were worshipped otherthan Allah. So he, may Allah have mercy on him, said: You are a Sheikh .(page 55)

9. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: They claim that the Zaydee school ofthought is the nearest to Ahlus-Sunnah, and this is not correct. Rather, they

(the Zaydees) are from the people of innovation and their school of thought isbuilt upon delusion (page 56)

10.Our Sheikh - may Allah have mercy on him rebuked one of the students whenhe recited the verse about menstruation and began with the basmalah, and hedirected him to seeking refuge from shaytaan because Allah says: So if yourecite the Quran, then seek refuge in Allah from the accursed shaytaan. Asfor the basmalah, then it is recited at the beginning of the chapter. (page 56)

11.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: It is mentioned from Al-Awzaaeethat shaytaan whispered to him that he had not washed his hand (during

wudu), so he said: It is upon the claimant to bring the proof and upon the onewho denies to swear an oath. (pages 56, 57)

12.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: If Allah had placed divorce in thehand of the woman, she would have surely divorced her husband more thantwenty times in a day due to the deficiency in her intellect. However, it isfrom the grace of Allah, The Mighty and The Majestic, that He has placedcustodianship in the hand of the man. (page 57)

Rather, they shouldremain with the woman. (page 61)

15.He - may Allah have mercy on him was asked: Is it permissible to attend thefunerals of the innovators, if his innovation has not reached the level ofdisbelief? So he replied: It is up to you to attend or not attend. However,that which is better is not to attend because it was not known from the Salaf,may Allah have mercy on them, that they attended the funerals of theinnovators. Rather, Imaam Ahmed said: Between us and them are thefunerals i.e. they should not attend them. (page 61)

16.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Cleaning the teeth with a twig or apolishing cloth other than the twig of miswaak is permissible, even if it waswith the intention of worship, if it does not harm the teeth, for it is said thatthe pomegranate twig causes harm to the teeth. (page 61)

(page 62)

18.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: It is not permissible for the womanto pray in the garment of the man which is specific for him, and it is

19.He - may Allah have mercy on him was asked about the woman who putshenna on her head, how does she act (with this) when making ablution?

(page 63)

2 Translators note: These eighty lashes are the punishment for the false accusation of adultery. It shouldbe noted, that the likes of these punishments are carried out and regulated by the Muslim ruler, NOTsolitary individuals living in the West or anywhere else!!

20.He - may Allah have mercy on him was asked: Is it permissible to carry outan autopsy on a corpse? He said: That is not permissible, and indeed the

voices of the scholars have become hoarse (from saying it so much) that theautopsy is not permissible, even if the killer was not known or the how theone who was murdered was killed, due to the hadeeth: It is upon theclai mant t o bri ng t he proof and upon t he one who denies to swear an oathand the hadeeth: Breaking the bone of t he deceased is li ke breaking i twhen he is ali ve. (page 65)

appointed age for the covering with the hijaab. The normal age is twelve yearsold. Then he said: And the bodies (of the females) differ (in the way theygrow) and we, Ahlus-Sunnah, do not become too harsh and nor we do webecome negligent. Then he gave an example: If a woman is ill and a femaledoctor cannot be found, then it is permissible for a male doctor to examineher. And likewise it is permissible for a man to be examined by a woman (ifnecessary). And harshness in other than its place is not permissible, and if youwere the one who was sick (and couldnt find a man), you would surely lookfor a woman to treat you. (page 67)

3) (Having) a high determination.4) Sitting with those who are eager and beneficial.5) Being far away from problems.6) Reading about the lives of the Salaf.7) Preserving the health (which) aids you in memorising the Quran. As for

illness, then it may make you forget some of the things which were learnt.(page 34)

10.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: That which aids memorisation, iseating sweet things which have heat in them, such as the date, the raisin,frankincense and drinking ginger and honey. And (drinking) more ginger (than

normal) hurts the blood and leads to becoming emaciated. And he (SheikhMuqbil said: And Az-Zuhree and Muhammad Bin Qaasim Al-Anbaaree used toabandon (eating) the apple due to what it contained from acidity out of fearfor their memory. (page 34)

11.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The one who shaves his beard is adisobedient one and the disobedient one is an open sinner (faasiq). And if he

was upright upon the Sunnah, then he does not leave Ahlus-Sunnah because ofthis act of disobedience and he is much better than the hizbee. (page 35)

12.He - may Allah have mercy on him said to the one who loves knowledge but isdistracted by that which prevents him from that: I advise him firstly tomemorise the Quran, then Riyaadh-us-Saaliheen. And with these two books hewill become an authority in admonition and guidance and he will know manythings. And he should memorise Buloogh-ul-Maraam and intensely read Fath-ul-Majeed, the explanation of Kitaab-ut-Tawheed. (page 36)

13.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Knowledge is through continuity,and otherwise there are those in the schools who are cleverer than us but theyhave been denied continuity. And he said: I have a masters degree and I didnot benefit from it, not even with the worth of an onion. (page 36)

14.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The tafseer of Ibn Jareer isconsidered to be the vastest of the tafseers (in size) due to the abundance ofahaadeeth and athaar in it. (page 36)

15.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: It is the sins which have humiliatedthe Muslims, and it is upon them to learn a lesson from what has passed.(page 37)

16.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The most fearful thing that we fearfor our dawah, is our own selves and our sins. He The Most High says: Andwhatever afflicts you from a calamity, then it is from what your hands

have earned, and He (Allah) pardons much. [Ash-Shoora, 30](page 38)

17.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The Sufis, the Sheeah and theHizbees are evil (munkar) in of themselves and they are in need of change. Sodo not wait for the changing of evil from them, because indeed they are evilin of itself. (page 39)

18.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Yemen believed in the message (ofIslam) and Alee Bin Abee Taalib, Khaalid Bin Waleed, Abu Musa Al-Ashareeand Muaadh Bin Jabal were sent there, so we have no need for Jamaat-ul-fasaad 3. (page 39)

19.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The Prophet (sallalahu alaihi wasallam) said: O Assembly of women, do not raise your heads (in t he prayer )until the men stand up out of fear that they (the women) would see their(the mens) private parts because of the scarcity of the (mens) waistwrappers .Then he (the Sheikh) said: And in this condition were they (thecompanions) aided by (the disbelievers having) fear (in their hearts for them)for the distance of a months journey. He (the Sheikh) said: As for me, then

20.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: I have preparatory and secondarycertificates, a certificate from the college of Shareeah and a masters degree,and I have not looked at them for a day and I dont know where their place isin the house. (page 40)

1. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: There is nothing out there whichshows that the slaughtered animal should be put towards the direction of theQiblah. Rather, it can be slaughtered in whichever direction it is in. Then hesaid: However, O my sons, teach the people firstly that which is the mostimportant and most beneficial for them and leave that which will make themflee from you, until you can win them over and after that they will acceptany thing from you. And now they say: There is nothing between us and theJews except the (rituals of) slaughtering and marriage. This is what theybelieve, so have insight in your dawah. (pages 67, 68)

2. He - may Allah have mercy on him said about the two rakaat for greeting themasjid: I believe it to be obligatory, however, if you enter the masjid and youdo not have wudu, then there is nothing upon you. (page 68)

3. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: It is mentioned in the biography ofAbu Haatim and Abu Zurah that they fainted from hunger. (page 70)

4. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: If the scholars of hadeeth say Al-Qattaan, then it is Yahyah Bin Saeed, and if they say Ibn-ul-Qattaan, then itis Alee Bin Muhammad, the author of Kitaab-ul-Wahm Wal-Eehaam. (page71)

5. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The narration from the people ofinnovation is permissible on the condition that he is not a liar and that hisinnovation does not lead to disbelief. And indeed, Al-Bukhaaree has narratedfrom Ubaidullah Bin Moosa Al-Abasee and he was an innovator. And Al-Amash was accused of tashayu (Shiism) 2 and Qataadah was accused of(having a deviant belief in) Al-Qadr. (page 71)

1 Translators note: Daar-ul-Imaam Maalik, Abu Dhabi, 1st Edition, 1428/20062 Translators note: Tashayu (Shiism) here refers to preferring Alee over Uthmaan which some of theSalaf had fallen into. It should not be confused with the heretical beliefs of the different sects of theSheeah such as the Raafidah, the Ismaaeelees, the Druze, Alawees etc.

6. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Ishaaq Bin Raahaway said:Whosoever rejects a hadeeth whose authenticity is believed in, then indeed

he has disbelieved. (page 72)

7. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: From the proofs of Jarh wat-Tadeelis The Saying of Allah The Most High: Perish t he hands of Abu Lahab andperish he and His saying: And do not obey every despised swearer of oaths(who actually lies) and the hadeeth: Are you one that puts (others) tot r ia l O Muaadh? and to Abu Dharr (he said): Indeed, you are a man whohas in him (the traits) of jaahileeyah and (to another man): What an evilbrother of the tribe and the hadeeth: As f or Mu aaweeyah, t hen he ispoor, and as f or Abu Jahm, t hen he does not t ake the st ick away f rom hisshoulder. (page 72)

8. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The only (narrator) whose name isZir in the six main books of hadeeth, is Zir Bin Hubaish. 3(page 72)

9. He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The name of Abu Hurairah has beendiffered on up to thirty (different) names and the nearest to the (truth) isthat he was Abdur-Rahmaan Bin Sakhr. (page 72)

10.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Ibn Taymeeyah and Ahmed BinHanbal used to see the refutation upon the people of innovation as being fromthe greatest of deeds that bring one closer to Allah, The Mighty and TheMajestic. Rather, it is from the best of Jihaad. And indeed, it has been

mentioned about Muhammad Bin Ismaaeel As-Sanaanee that he became illwith diarrhoea and in his possession he had a book of one of the people ofinnovation. He said: Burn it and cook for me some bread with it. So they didthat and he ate it and Allah cured him from his illness. (pages 72, 73)

11.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: I consider myself a teacher and afather to my sons the students of knowledge, and I am not a leader of Ahlus-Sunnah. We are students of knowledge and we do not want the office of aSheikh or a party. (page 74)

12.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: Being a student with a Sheikh isestablished for a student even with one sitting or two sittings. (page 75)

13.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: If Sufyaan and Shubah differ, thenthe saying (which is taken) is the saying of Sufyaan Ath-Thawree. (page 75)

3 Translators note: He was a reliable narrator from the taabieen who narrated from Umar, Ubay BinKab, Uthmaan, Alee, Abdullah, Ammaar, Al-Abbaas, Abdur-Rahmaan Bin Awf , Hudhaifah Bin Al-Yamaan and Safwaan Bin Assaal. He recited (the Quran) to Ibn Masood and Alee. He was from amongstthe most Arab of the people and Ibn Masood used to ask him about Arabic. Aasim said: I have not seenanyone who recited more (Quran) than Zir. He witnessed the days of the pre-Islamic ignorance and it issaid that he died at 122 or 127.

14.He - may Allah have mercy on him once said, joking with his students: Whatdo you know about Abu Murrah? So the students began to become engrossed inthe (subject of the) narrators of hadeeth and not one of them replied. Then

the Sheikh said: He is the shaytaan.4(page 76)

15.He - may Allah have mercy on him said: The one who does not know AhmedBin Muhammad Ash-Shaybaanee should stand. So, many brothers stood up.Then he said: He is Ahmed Bin Hanbal. (page 76)

16.He - may Allah have mercy on him mentioned that the religion is not aided bylying and hoaxes. Then he mentioned the story of the tree which is in Germanyand they claim that there is written in it: La ilaha illal la (None has the right tobe worshipped except Allah). And he mentioned the story of the man whoentertained a people and cooked food for them and the food did not impress

him so he threw it away in the toilet. So, Allah became angry with him andchanged him into a snake. And they began to say: Whosoever wantsverification (of this) should phone him on his telephone. So, the people beganto phone and they heard a whistling sound (of the snake). So, these are fromthe lies which are not from the religion at all.(pages 101, 102)

A description of the lessons of Sheikh Muqbil

Bin Haadee Al-Waadiee (may Allaah havemercy on him)

By Sheikh Muqbil Bin Haadee Al-Waadiee

Taken from Rahalaat Daweeyah Li-Sheikh Muqbil Bin Haadee Al-Waadiee Wa Muqtatafaat MinAqwaalihi Wa Fataaweehee (The journeys ofdawah of Sheikh Muqbil Bin Haadee Al-Waadieeand a selection from his sayings and his verdicts) Pp 16-211of Abu Ramzee Naasir Bin AleeMuhammad Ad-Dabb Al-Waadiee.

Translated by: Abu Yusuf, Sagheer Ibn Abdir-Rasheed Al-Kashmeeree

Said Abu Ramzee Naasir Bin Alee Muhammad Ad-Dabb Al-Waadiee:

The general Lessons of the Sheikh.

The lessons of the Sheikh were lessons of knowledge in truth and he used to behappy in them. And sometimes he used to have anxieties and tiredness with himand when he sat on the chair he forgot the tiredness and anxieties. And inbetween these lessons there used to be poems and questions, with the peopleeither coming for a visit or them having questions with them. And sometimes heused to give a lecture on the telephone to different lands, especially in the final

years of his life - and this is the Grace of Allah which He gives to whom He willsfrom His slaves.

From the beginning of the dawah in Yemen, he used to teach Saheeh-ul-Bukhaaree after the Asar prayer, and he used to make the one reading thehadeeth memorise it and it would be heard before the lesson. Between Maghriband Isha would be (the) Saheeh Muslim (lesson). And in between these lessonsthere would be questions, he would ask the students and they would ask him. Andhe would recite to us some sections of poetry and they would be memorised. Fromthe last of the poetry which he recited to us was:

And whosoever has patience with knowledge is successful with its attainment,

And whosoever proposes to the beautiful woman has patience with expenditure,And whosoever does not humble the soul in the request of those things which are

the highest,He lives a long life-time as the brother of humiliation.

And after Isha he taught As-Sunnah of Abdullah Bin Ahmed, may Allah have mercyon him. And after that on the 9th ofRabee-ul-Awal 1417 hijrah he taught the bookAs-Saheeh-ul-Musnad Min Asbaab-in-Nuzool (The authentic collection ofahaadeethwhich go back to the Prophet [sallalahu alaihi wa sallam] about the reasons of

revelation) by him, may Allah have mercy on him. And after that he moved it tobefore Dhuhr.

And after the Isha prayer the Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him taught thebook Ash-Shifaaah (Intercession) by him, may Allah have mercy on him. He beganit on the 1st ofJumaadah-al-Oola 1417 hijrah (and) then the Sheikh stopped it forabout four months because of the illness (he had). And Sheikh Yahyah Bin Alee Al-Hajooree, may Allah The Most High preserve him, finished it on the 6 th ofJumaadah-al-Oola 1418 hijrah.

After that between Maghrib and Isha the Sheikh taught As-Saheeh-ul-Musnad MinDalaail-in-Nubuwah (The authentic collection ofahaadeeth which go back to theProphet [sallalahu alaihi wa sallam] about the proofs of Prophethood) by him, mayAllah have mercy on him. He began it on the 11th ofRabee-uth-Thanee 1418 hijrah

and Sheikh Yahyah Bin Alee Al-Hajooree completed it after him on the 24th

ofJumaadah-al-Ahkhirah 1422 hijrah.

Also, the Sheikh taught the book Dhamm-ul-Masalah (The blameworthiness ofasking) by him, may Allah have mercy on him. He began it in the month ofJumaadah-al-Oola 1418 hijrah and Sheikh Yahyah Bin Alee Al-Hajooree completedit after him on the 26th ofRajab 1418 hijrah.

And between Maghrib and Isha, the Sheikh taught Ghaarut-ul-Fasl Ala-al-Mutadeen Ala Kutub-il-Ilal (The decisive attack upon those who commitaggression against the books about the hidden defects in the ahaadeeth) by him,may Allah have mercy on him. He finished it on the 1st ofJumaadah-al-Oola 1419

hijrah. Immediately after it on the 2nd of Jumaadah-al-Oola 1419 hijrah, theSheikh began, between Maghrib and Isha, the book Al-Jaami-us-Saheeh Fil-Qadr(The authentic collection of ahaadeeth about Al-Qadr [predestination]) by him,may Allah have mercy on him, and the noble Sheikh Yahyah Bin Alee Al-Hajooreecompleted it after him on the 12th ofMuharram 1423 hijrah.

And before these books, with the exception of Saheeh-ul-Bukhaaree, Muslim,Tafseer Ibn Katheer and As-Sunnah of Abdullah Bin Ahmed, the Sheikh taught thebook Ahaadeeth Muallatun Dhaahiruhaa As-Sihaa (The ahaadeeth which areapparently authentic but have hidden defects)2 between Maghrib and Isha. Hebegan on the 13thSafar 1416 hijrah and finished it on the 5th ofRabee-ul-Awal

1417 hijrah.

And before this, the Sheikh taught (the book) of Ibn Khuzaimah on tawheed fortwo or three nights and then left it. After this the Sheikh, may Allah The Most Highhave mercy on him, taught Al-Mustadrak Alaa Saheehain of Al-Haakim 3, mayAllah The Most High have mercy on him. And indeed, the Sheikh passed away andSheikh Yahyah Bin Alee Al-Hajooree was still teaching it up until a recent time. 4

2 Translators note: This was another of the Sheikhs books.3 Translators note: The Sheikh also has his notes on this work published.4 Up till the date of the 4th ofMuharram 1424 hijrah.



22/24


And these books, every time he finished a lesson (from them) he would start thenext one (book) except Saheeh-ul-Bukhaaree and Saheeh Muslim, for indeed everytime he finished them he would return to teaching them anew. And likewise (for)

Tafseer Ibn Katheer, he would return to it anew and he used to teach it afterDhuhr.

And after this the Sheikh taught As-Saheeh-ul-Musnad Mimma Laysa Fis-Saheehain(The authentic collection of ahaadeeth which go back to the Prophet [sallalahualaihi wa sallam] which are not in the two authentic compilations [of Al-Bukhaareeand Muslim]) by him, may Allah have mercy on him. So, he would be on Tafseer IbnKatheer for a day and a day on As-Saheeh-ul-Musnad. And after this Al-Jaami-us-SaheehMimma Laysa Fis-Saheehain (The authentic collection of ahaadeeth whichare not in the two authentic compilations [of Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]) by him,may Allah have mercy on him. And Sheikh Yahyah Bin Alee Al-Hajooree is still

teaching it, may Allah The Most High preserve him.

Sometimes the Sheikh would stand up during the lesson and walk in the mosqueasking (questions) to one (person) after another, and he would pursue those whowere hidden behind the pillars. And if he asked about anyone and they said to him:he is in the mazra5, either as a guard or other than that, he would say: We willask him (the question from the lesson) over the loud speaker with the loudest ofvoice. And if he was in the mazra listening to the question of the Sheikh, hewould answer it the next day.

Sometimes from the mosque, he would ask the women during the lessons by way ofthe loud speaker and they would reply on (pieces of) papers and give them to his

family. Then he would look at them when he would enter his house. Andsometimes he would make a competition between the men and the women i.e. ashared question (between them)

Sometimes he would leave after the prayer to look for those who were absent fromthe lesson. One time he went to the shop of Muawwad and to the restaurant nextto it, and those who were inside the restaurant did not notice that he was withthem. And when they saw the Sheikh with them at that time, and it was the timeof the lesson, they were not able to speak. And likewise he went to the valley (tolook for the students who hadnt come).

Sometimes after the lesson which was between Maghrib and Isha, he would get upand give the call to prayer by himself.

And sometimes he would initiate a contest on poetry between himself and some ofthe students during the lesson.

Sometimes he would say: Tonight is the night of the reciters i.e. those whosevoices were beautiful with respect to the Quran. He (one of the reciters) wouldrecite for about ten minutes or less and then other than him would come (and do

the same). And indeed An-Nawawee has given the chapter heading in Riyaadh-us-Saaliheen:

Chapter: The desirability of beautifying the voice for the Quran and requestingrecitation from the one who has a beautiful voice and listening to him.

And he then mentioned ahaadeeth (about this) of which is from the hadeeth of AbuMusa Al-Asharee (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah(sallalahu alaihi wa sallam) said to him:

Indeed, you have been given a wind-instrument from the wind-instruments of thefamily of Daawud.6

And from Ibn Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of

Allah(sallalahu alaihi wa sallam)said to me: Recite the Quran to me. He said:So I said: O Messenger of Allah, I recite to you and to you it was revealed. He said:Indeed, I love to hear it from other than myself. So, I recited to him Surah An-Nisaa until I reached:So (how will it be) then when We bring from each nation a witness and Webring you (O Muhammad) as a witness against these people he said:Enough now. So I turned towards him and his eyes were overflowing with tears. 7

Sometimes he would entrust some of the brothers who were strong in the Quranto carry out a test (in the Quran) and he would say: I will be the first to recite,answer me back (when I recite) O such and such.

And his whole life was calling to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger(sallalahu alaihi wa sallam). Allah, The Mighty and The Majestic says:Say (OMuhammad): This is my way; I call to Allah with sure knowledge, I andthose who follow me, and free is Allah from all imperfection and I am not fromamongst those that associate partners with Allah.

And if he saw someone sleeping 8 he would say: Get up O such and such and hewould leave him standing until sleep left him and would say: Has the sleep gone?He (the person) would say: Yes, and he (the Sheikh) would say: Sit down.

And he would ask (the students) and say: Faatimah Bint Imraan, what is the name

of her father? Or: Such and such the son of such and such, what is his fathersname? Then the students would say, especially if a student had come recently: I donot know. Then the Sheikh would say: Such and such the son of such and such, youdo not know and the Sheikh would laugh, may Allah have mercy on him, and thestudent would take heed from this

And he used to have specific lessons, and indeed, he used to teach Sharh IbnAqeel after Saheeh-ul-Bukhaaree in the mosque and then in the library. And when

he became ill, he left it. And he taught Al-Baaith-ul-Hatheeth and he revisedTadreeb-ur-Raawee and he taught Jaami-ut-Tirmidhee, Tuhfatus-Saneeyah andother than them from the lessons, and it (Tuhfatus-Saneeyah) is (learnt) before
