A discussion of the book *al-Kawakib al-Darari* by Ibn 'Urwah.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This book is among the legacy of the Shaykh. What is the name of this one?
The questioner : Ibn Zaknun.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Ibn Zaknun, Ibn 'Urwah.
The Shaykh : Ibn 'Urwah, 'Ali ibn 'Urwah.
The questioner : It seems our Shaykh is the same person, Ibn 'Urwah ibn Zaknun.
The Shaykh : It is possible; it is not far-fetched.
The questioner : Yes, indeed...
The Shaykh : The important thing is that this man, Allah is the Greatest, the world brings forth wonders.
The questioner: Allah is the Greatest!
The Shaykh : He left behind a book of more than a hundred volumes, each volume like this. What is this book? What is its name? What is its work?
The questioner : *Al-Kawakib al-Darari*.
The Shaykh : *Al-Kawakib al-Darari*. I think it is arranged...
The questioner : Arranged according to the chapters of al-Bukhari.
The Shaykh : According to the chapters of al-Bukhari.
The questioner : The *Musnad* arranged according to the chapters of al-Bukhari.
The Shaykh : It is his commentary on a hadith. He presents a book, he presents a treatise, and he preserved for us within these volumes dozens of books, among them *Qa'idah Jalilah fi al-Tawassul wa al-Wasilah* by Ibn Taymiyyah. This one is extracted from this book.
The questioner : Glory be to Allah.
The Shaykh : Among them is *al-Tawdih*.
The questioner : *Al-Tawdih*.
The Shaykh : Three large volumes. They are from these hundred volumes and more. Not all the volumes are in the Zahiriyyah Library. They exist, perhaps, and I no longer remember well, but perhaps there are more than forty or fifty volumes. And there are volumes, as I read in some indexes in Egypt, but, Glory be to Allah, there is knowledge in it. I benefited greatly from reading this book, with many benefits, such as, for example, the book of *Zuhd* (asceticism).
The questioner : *Zuhd* by 'Abd Allah ibn Mubarak, I remember.
The Shaykh : It is also present in this book.
The questioner : *Musnad al-Shahab*, it seems, or else *Musnad al-Shahab* is from the disk. You extracted it, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Did he?
The questioner : *Musnad al-Shahab*. I extracted it from the disk.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, what Allah willed.
The questioner : Our Shaykh...
The Shaykh : What else is there with you there?
The questioner : I remember, our Shaykh, that you have a nice note on *Tawdih al-Mushtabih* regarding the prayer of tarawih.
The Shaykh : We mentioned it.
The questioner : Do you remember the book? It seems you are the one who discovered it, our Shaykh. In my mind, from the note, it was you who discovered it. And there was a disagreement with Brockelmann, who attributed it to Ibn Hajar, and you established its attribution to Ibn Nasir al-Din.
The Shaykh : Look, do you have it in the index?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : No, look at the index with the Zahiriyyah Library. You have the manuscripts of the Zahiriyyah Library.
The questioner : Ibn Nasir al-Din.
The Shaykh : How old is this Muhammad Hasan?
The questioner : By Allah, our Shaykh, he is of my generation, meaning in the thirties, twenty-nine, thirty, thirty-one, that is what I think.
The Shaykh : And his language is strong?
The questioner : By Allah, I see him as careful. He has words that slip out, as they slip out from anyone, but he is careful with the language. Yes, by Allah, I was also pleased for him. May Allah reward him with good.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Like that, and he read to you on the prayer of tarawih, of course...
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : After you quoted from him, he quoted: "He was mentioned by three by the name such-and-such. He was mentioned by al-Hafiz Muhammad ibn Nasir al-Din al-Dimashqi in *Tawdih al-Mushtabih*."
Note: This book *al-Tawdih* is, as I mentioned, by al-Hafiz Ibn Nasir al-Din. It is a manuscript in three volumes, preserved in the library of the Zahiriyyah. And Professor Yusuf al-'Ash, or al-'Ash al-'Ashab, "with a dammah?"
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : "In the index of the manuscripts of the library, in the history section, following Brockelmann, it is attributed to al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, which is a clear error. I have many proofs for it, which I mentioned in my note on a part containing the questions of Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah and his teachers, and there is no room to mention them now." So it seems that the two who indexed the Zahiriyyah were mistaken, what? Ibn Hajar.
The Shaykh : ... Professor Yusuf al-'Ash was mistaken, following Brockelmann.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : *Battasir al-Muntabih* by Ibn Hajar. There is no god but Allah. History...
The questioner : Ibn Zaknun.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Ibn Zaknun, Ibn 'Urwah.
The Shaykh : Ibn 'Urwah, 'Ali ibn 'Urwah.
The questioner : It seems our Shaykh is the same person, Ibn 'Urwah ibn Zaknun.
The Shaykh : It is possible; it is not far-fetched.
The questioner : Yes, indeed...
