The Best Explanations of the Al-Nuniyyah Poem
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the best of the printed explanations of the Al-Nuniyyah poem, and which is better, Shaykh Muhammad Nawaf or Shaykh Ahmad al-Ba'id?
The Shaykh:
They are all good, and none of them suffices in place of the others. The third is the commentary of Shaykh 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him) on it, which is also good in clarifying the general meaning. In fact, none of them suffices in place of the others. The truth is that the Al-Nuniyyah has not yet been explained with the required and comprehensive explanation; it has not been explained to this day. But these are attempts, attempts to make it accessible. May Allah reward them well. They have performed a great duty by making it accessible, but the appropriate and comprehensive explanation for it has not yet been written.
The questioner:
Shaykh 'Abd al-Latif.
The Shaykh:
Shaykh 'Abd al-Latif wrote an introduction; he did not enter into the subject matter, it is only an introduction. Yes.
