Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Ibrahīm from al-Qasim says: I hope the Shaykh will tell me a brief account of Imam Ahmad on this program.
Answer:
Imam Ahmad is a great imam among the imams of the people of the Sunnah and the community, and he is the greatest of the hadith scholars, and the greatest of the followers of the righteous Salaf. He is a distinguished imam, known for asceticism and worship, known for holding fast to the Sunnah, and for his patience in fighting religious innovation. He was patient during the trial of the claim that the Qur'an is created; he refused to say it, and he was beaten, dragged, and imprisoned. Despite this, he remained patient in upholding the correct creed in the Book of Allah the Exalted. In the end, the outcome was in his favor, and Allah made things easy for him, granting him honor and support for that. Yes.
