Commentary on the Book *Madarij al-Salikin* by Ibn al-Qayyim
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, do you have any observations regarding the book *Madarij al-Salikin* by Ibn al-Qayyim?
The Shaykh : Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) is too great for me and those like me to have observations on his work, even though he was not sinless. However, as you know, the book is an explanation of *Manazil al-Sa'irin*, and the original book being explained contains some observations. It contains what hints at something significant in the knowledge of religion, even though Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) apologized for it and clarified that he is innocent of what comes to mind from his words. No person is there whose words are not taken from and left, and I have not read the book from beginning to end; but I read some topics from it, because some topics cannot be found in a book, and some slips are not something from which anyone is safe.
