The Best Explanations of al-Safarini’s Poem on Etiquette
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the best book explaining this poem, for what Allah loves and is pleased with?
Answer:
The most comprehensive explanation of it is the author’s own explanation, the explanation of the author who composed the poem. There are other explanations of it as well, but they are not free from criticisms; even the author’s explanation is not free from criticisms. There are other explanations of it by Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn Mani‘ (may Allah have mercy on him), and there are notes on it. They also mention an explanation by Ibn Sulaym, but Ibn Sulaym’s is not good; the man is not good, it is known to be so. There is also a marginal note (hashiyah) by Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Tass (may Allah have mercy on him), which is printed. It is a concise and easy marginal note, and it contains objections to the author, the composer. So it is the closest explanation to it after the author’s own explanation.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
