The Meaning of the Poet's Saying: "This is the Hashawi, not the people of hadith, the imams of Islam and faith, who rejected the tormenting springs of the Sunnah, which are not the refuse of these minds"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"This is the Hashawi, not the people of hadith, the imams of Islam and faith
who rejected the tormenting springs of the Sunnah, which are not the refuse of these minds"
And what a fine source, the springs of the Sunnah, which are not the refuse of these minds. As for them, he means by them the people of ta'til (denial of the divine attributes) and the people of kalam (theology).
"And you drank from the Qalut, the course of all filth, dirt, and stench"
The Qalut was mentioned previously. What is it? The Qalut is a known channel in Syria where all filth, urine, and excrement flow and move. Therefore, in our colloquial language, when we want to disavow something, we say: "Qalut," and Qalut is the Qalut. Yes, that is its meaning. So, the people of the Sunnah drank from the sweet springs, the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), whereas these people drank from the Qalut, the course of all filth, dirt, and stench.
"And you were too lazy to ascend to the rose from the head of the Shari'ah, the failure of the lazy one" meaning: O failure of the lazy one. And he (may Allah have mercy on him) spoke the truth; this is the reality. So, who is more deserving of this description? They are undoubtedly more deserving. They filled the pages and minds with empty talk, whereas we, praise be to Allah, did not say anything except what the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated.
