The meaning of the poet's statement: "And likewise Abu al-Abbas also has narrated *** the consensus of the scholars, 'Ilm al-Huda al-Harrani"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And likewise Abu al-Abbas also has narrated *** the consensus of the scholars, 'Ilm al-Huda al-Harrani"
He is the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), whose kunya is Abu al-Abbas. Do you say this because he was the eldest of his sons?
The student: He did not marry.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: He did not marry.
The Shaykh : No, because he did not marry. But the fabricators married him off. So when you go there to the Umayyad Mosque, they say, "Do you wish to visit the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and his son?" I say, "Yes, I wish to." I pray for him and make du'a for him. They say, "This is his grave, and this is his son's grave." They did not know that the man did not marry at all. But this is not strange for the fabricators who placed al-Husayn in Iraq, and placed him in Sham, and placed him in Egypt. Subhan Allah. Yes, he says:
"And he had a knowledge that was not before him *** for any other speaker in language"
He, meaning the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him),
"had a knowledge that was not before him *** for any other speaker in language"
And he spoke the truth, may Allah have mercy on him. Ibn al-Qayyim spoke the truth. For whoever reviews the books of the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, he will be amazed at the vast number of books from which he quotes. This is a gift from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) to him, that He granted him a firm memory. And it is as if, Allah knows best, he does not forget. For if a person were to try to count these books from which he quotes, he would forget them, let alone that he quotes their exact phrases. But the favor of Allah is given to whom He wills. We ask Allah, who has given him from His favor, not to deprive us of it.
