Al-Safarini’s Poem on Creed and the Observations on It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is your opinion of Al-Safarini’s poem on creed, since we have heard that there are observations on it? And from which of its conditions is shirk (associating partners with Allah) lacking?
Answer:
There is no doubt that it is a good creed in general, and the scholars used to study it in this land. It has some observations, some of which the shaykhs have commented on. Shaykh Batin has a marginal note on it, and others have printed marginal notes on the same commentary. Shaykh Ibn Sahman—these two shaykhs, Shaykh Dabitan and Shaykh Ibn Sahman—commented on this poem and clarified some of the errors in it. So whoever reads the poem and reads the comments of these two shaykhs on it will benefit greatly from it.
