Al-Suqaf's criticism of Mu'awiyah.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Do you know Al-Suqaf before you knew him personally?
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : If you had known him from his books, you would not have gone to him. This is regarding Mu'awiyah, who is the author of two folios or so in a commentary on the book *Daf' Shubhat al-Tashbih*.
Abu Malik: Is this the one he recently published?
The Shaykh : Yes.
Abu Malik: Who is this for? Or is it his own composition?
The Shaykh : *Daf' Shubhat al-Tashbih* by Ibn al-Jawzi is a work for which he wrote an introduction and comments.
Abu Malik: This is the one Shaykh Shu'ayb introduced, I think.
The Shaykh : No, he put the name Abu Ghazal on it.
Abu Malik: Abu Ghazal.
The Shaykh : But... the impact of this name. Welcome.
Abu Malik: In his introduction?
The Shaykh : No, in the middle of the book, about two folios, he exploited it...
Abu Malik: I wonder if Brother Husayn has the book.
The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
The questioner : No.
