The Ruling on the al-Safarinah Poem in Matters of Creed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Peace be upon you. What is the Shaykh’s view of the al-Safarinah poem in creed, because we have heard that there are remarks on it, and with what kind of disbelief does the Shaykh describe it?
The Shaykh:
There is no doubt that it is a good creed in general, and the scholars used to study it in this land; they used to study it. It has some remarks, some observations, and the Shaykhs have written notes on it. Shaykh Batin wrote a commentary on it, and others have as well; he has a printed commentary on the same explanation. Shaykh Ibn Sahman, these two Shaykhs—Shaykh al-Dhabit and Shaykh al-Istihmam—wrote notes on this poem and explained some of the errors in it. So, whoever reads the poem and reads the notes of these two Shaykhs on it will benefit greatly from it.
