الرحيم الرحمن الله بسم A Series of Refutations upon The False Claims of Spubs Abu Khadeejah Stated: “He loves to be excessively praised and encourages it.” This is in fact an indirect revilement upon The Imam, Ash-Shaykh Muqbil, as by this Abu Khadeejah is alleging that ash-Shaykh Muqbil selected an individual who loves to be praised to succeed him in his centre. Ash-Shaykh Yahya al-Hajooreee has already refuted this doubt prior to this false claim of Abu Khadeejah. Ash-Shaykh Yahya al-Hajooree, may Allah preserve him said: "By Allah oh my brother I do not enjoy being praised neither from before nor afterwards and Allah is a witness and observes the hearts, some poets would come with some poetry which I would browse over and erase (i.e. some words) from it which deserves to be removed while some poets, I am shy to say to him come and let me check your poetry whereas perhaps he could be an old poet while a poet has with him zeal to defend (the truth) ..., therefore a slip and a error can a occur , Allah has said : عَلَيْهَا َّ إِلا ٍ نَفْس ُّ كُل ُ تَكْسِ ب َ وَلا No person earns any (sin) except against himself (only) So it is upon us to advise..." Ref: http://aloloom.net/vb/showthread.php?t=17476 Abu Khadeejah Stated: “In his presence his muqallids (blind-followers) liken him to the Prophet (salallaahu 'alaihi wassallam) and Abu Bakr (radhi Allaahu 'anhu) - they declared him to be the Imaam of Mankind and Jinn.” As for what they wrote regarding the exaggerations of some of the poets for ash-Shaykh Yahya such as the statement "If They Were to Melt Yahya al-Hajuri His Flesh Would Dissolve into the Book and the Sunnah!" and "Imaam of the Men and Jinn" and other than that, then that has been clarified here and on other sources prior to this statement of the writer: An Excerpt from the aforementioned link: Ash-Shaykh AbdulHameed al-Hajooree said: “...As for us we retract from them two and they’ve been erased from the edition with the knowledge that those who uttered it have retracted as well. Also that Abu Zaid Al-Hajoori has retracted at that time and posted his retraction on the website Aloloom Ass alafiya along with that he invited them to repent like him, and he said in his writing to his brothers in Indonesia: << I didn’t intend by it except the leader of both men and Jinn in our time and in our land(Yemen) and with it I make Taubah (repent) to Allah>> "as for Abu Muslim Al-Hajoori he said: I only intended by that line the strong adherence of Shaykh Yahya, may Allah preserve him, to the Book and Sunnah and his severance upon who oppose it ,whereas that is from the angle of the statement of the Prophet ه C C C C C ي C C C C C ل C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C ع الله ى C C C C C ل C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C ص م C C C ل C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C س و “Ammaar's mashaash (i.e. blood, flesh, all parst of his body) was filled (i.e. mixed) with eeman ” <5888 Saheeh Al-Jaami Al-Albani> and viewing that these lines of poetry have caused a wrong meaning, and some who are polluted by the fitnah have already made use of it to slander Dammaj and Shaykh Yahya may Allah preserve him. Thus I retract from it and I ask Allah to forgive me and repent to him and praise is to Allah, The Lord of all mankind. " Written by Abu Muslim Ahmed ibn Mohammed ibn Al-Husain Al-Hajoori al-za’akari, in Dar Ahadith Dammaj 2 Rabee II 1430/ 28 March 2009>> Below is the retraction of the poet from the statement "The Imaam of Mankind and Jinn" (which is in poetry form): فتجرحني ٍ بغال ُ لست *** العدني الرحمن عبد يا ( اليمني الثقلين إمام )*** تعبيــر عن متراجع وأنا العلني التحزيب من ُ تبت *** واعلنها مثلي وتراجع ِ الفتن بوق يا بالعلما *** العلما وضرب والتعصيب "O Abdurrahmaan al-A'dani***I am not extreme, whereas you may disparage me As well I have retracted from the expression*** (The Imaam of Mankind and Jinn in Yemen) Likewise retract too and announce it***....(to the end of the poetry)" This retraction was just posted on the website Aloloom in the year 2008 let alone that the brother retracted from his exaggeration of praise for ash-Shaykh Yahya before the year 2008. http://www.aloloom.net/vb/showthread.php?t=94 The Noble Brother Abu Mus’ab Husayn al-Hajooree said: "This nickname (i.e. Imam ath- Thaqalayn) was found in the scholars of the past whereas they weren’t rebuked as Shaykh Yahya has been rebuked by the new hizbi party, the people of annoyance and stubbornness. Al-Allamaah as-San’aanee, may Allah have mercy upon him, said in the book entitled Irshaad an-Naqaad (20): "...Then a fatwa was given by another faqeeh by the nickname the Muftee ath- Thaqalayn, whereas he permitted a hanafi getting married to a shafi’ and he based the reason being that the rulings of (marriage) pertaining to the people of the book is to be applied to her..." While al-Allaamah as-San’aanee, may Allah have mercy upon him, did not rebuked this nickname (as they rebuked it). Ref: http://aloloom.net/vb/showthread.php?t=2721 Side Note: The poet who brought mentioning of the nickname Imam ath-Thaqalayn "Imaam of the Men and Jinn", only intended by such a nickname that which is confined to this era and to Yemen. While he openly made repentance from that statement prior to all these recent attacks against Shaykh Yahya which was clarified on more than one website. Likewise Ash-Shaykh AbdulHameed , may Allah preserve him, clarified, the error of adding such erroneous exaggerations of those poets to the appedix of one of his books - being that he thought the poetry was already examined -, the aforementioned correction and retraction is found on his website which was posted in the year 2009:http://alzoukory.com/play.php? catsmktba=111 Also the aforementioned appedix of the poetry was added to the book after Shaykh Yahya already gave a preface to the book, whereas ash-Shaykh Yahya did not approve that appedix ,so he not to be held responsible for it. Add to the old aforementioned retraction a new poetic retraction by Abu Zaid Al-Hajooree regarding the statement “Imam Ath-Thaqalain, whereas he mentioned therein that Shaykh Yahya was the one who advised him about that statement. This was taken from the Arabic section of Aloloom. يذكروا لا دعاتنا وبغيربذم *** يبصروا لا عيوبنا لغير من يا تستنكروا ما كل عن تائب أنا *** تائب أنا تائب أنا تائب أنا تشعروا لم إن عنه التراجع سبق *** الذي البيت ذلك عن تائب أنا تعذروا لي لتيتكم أو قلتها ما *** ليتني يا عبارة علي مرقت تستروا لم الذي ستر لكنه *** حينها لي أشر يحيى والشيخ العلوماستفسروا عن التراجع وعن *** تردد دون فتبت والايستتاب يذكروا لا ذنوبنا لغير من يا *** طياتها في زال لا ولعله تبشروا بالقنوط لي إنكم أم *** توبة لي هل قوم يا تائب أنا تبرروا للإنتقام به أنتم *** الذي البيت ذلك من تائب أنا تحذروا هناك به الحديث دار *** ومن به تهجمون المشايخ وعلى يستغفروا لمن ً غفارا أولست *** زلتي فاغفر يارب تائب أنا أكبر عفوك زال لا زلاتنا *** تعاظمت مهما اللهم غفرانك اسمه مثل ناصحا يحيى والشيخ For the audio click the link. - http://alzoukory.com/play.php?catsmktba=1413 Abu Khadeejah Stated: “They have ghuloo (excessive veneration) for him and he encourages it.” Ash-Shaykh Yahya al-Hajooree has already explained this false accusation: “...Some of the (exaggerated) words could be read while I am preoccupied with papers, whereas I can (also) be busy with those seeking permission to be dismissed (from the lesson), by Allah some of them (i.e. words) we weren’t paying attention to...while we bring notice to (it) once I become aware of it or informed about it whereas I bring notice to it then” Ref: http://aloloom.net/vb/showthread.php?t=17476 Another Side Note: It is common between poets that they exaggerate in their poetry, whereas there are many examples of poets who have exaggerated for several amount of scholars although such exaggerations are not correct but why are Spubs not rebuking them as they have rebuked the poets who have exaggerated for Shaykh Yahya??? Abu Khadeejah stated: “...liken him to the Prophet (salallaahu 'alaihi wassallam) and Abu Bakr (radhi Allaahu ‘anhu)..." The below lines of poetry was read in the presence of Ash-Shaykh Muqbil, in the city of Saah of Hadramout,the poetry is entitled: Glad Tidings Oh Saah. ... الخبر صدقا فتموا عر الحديث دار --- بداره وهو الشيخ تبصرون لو عمر هذا أو عباس ابن هذا --- لقلتموا الحديث دار زرتموا لو الفكر تشابهت قد حنبل ابن ذا أو --- ومالك الشافعي الإمام ذا أو ... "If you were to see Shaykh (Muqbil) while he is in his Centre Daarul Hadeeth you will come to know the reality--- if you were to visit daarul hadeeth you would say this is Ibn Abaas or Umar (Bin Khataab) ---Or this is Imam ash-Shaafie and Maalik or this is (Ahmad) bin Hanbal ,the ideology has resembled" Another poet said about Shaykh Muqbil ‘...he memorized all chains of hadeeth and all authentic narrations, he has possessed all (high) status and all positions...’ Also another poet said: "...I asked Imam ash-Shafie and Maalik and Nuymaan ا ر C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C ط and al-Imam Ibn Hanbal. They all said (Muqbil) Ibn Haadee is our successor in the hadeeth of the Chosen Prophet the Best of Messengers..." Reference: The appedix of the written biography of Shaykh Muqbil regarding himself, print Daarul Aathaar. Side Note: The reason we cannot rebuke ash-Shaykh Muqbil for the exaggeration of some of the poets for him, is the same reason we cannot rebuke Shaykh Yahya al hajooree , which is perhaps while the poet was reading those exaggerated words in the presence of Shaykh Muqbil, the Shaykh was preoccupied with papers or with other things which may distract a person from following up each word in the poetry. Bearing in mind that some of those poets that Spubs are now attacking are from the students of Ash-Shaykh Muqbil, who have wrote some poetry praising Shaykh Muqbil, so is Ash-Shaykh Muqbil bin Haadee a hadaadee too??? Also you may even found such exaggerations found with some of the poets who praise Shaykh Rabee, for example a poet said in his praise for Shaykh Rabee': مثيلا له أردت إن وتعجز --- ربيع يشبهه ليس ربيع Rabee, no one resembles Rabee---“You are not able to (find) an equal for him if you wished” Whereas ash-Shaykh Yahya al-Hajooree advised the poets not to exaggerate in words and not to over praise him as found on this thread, while Ash-Shaykh Sa’eed D’aas also brought this to mentioning in the following poetry: ْ مِدَادِي ِ مَدِيْح ْ مِن ِ البَسِ يْطَة ُ أُفُق *** ْ لأَ شْ رَقَت َ الثنَاء ُ كَرَاهَتُه َ لا ْ لَو ‘If it wasn’t for him disliking to be praised – the horizon of the earth would shine via my ink of praise’ So why does Spubs conceal these texts of poetry from the public??? Spubs have recently mentioned some lines of poetry against Shaykh Yahya which was recited on the return of Shaykh Yahya al-Hajooree from Hajj some years back, where Ash-Shaykh Yahya rapidly openly advised those poets regarding such exaggerations ,which Ash-Shaykh Yahya brought to notice at that time, as found on the below transcription: “...I have a request for my fellow brothers which I hope they carry out, while by the will of Allah I have a good thought for them, it is not to allow our love for each other leads us to exaggerate in words, may Allah reward you, by Allah I dislike the likes of theses exaggerations from the core of my heart, also may Allah bless you, we are not equivalent to anything rather who from us is at a higher level than Ibn Qataan and to the Imaams, they are in reality are the bearers of the religion, we are not except people who benefit from them, we learn basically under their books, the books of research of defects of hadeeth , their opinions, their narrations, we ask Allah to show mercy upon them and make us tread their path upon the Book of Allah and Sunnah of the Messenger – م ل C C C C C C C C C C س و ه ي ل C C C C C C C C C C ع الله ى ل C C C C C C C C C C ص -, this is what I request from my fellow brothers , may Allah bless you...We should not allow our love for each other to leads to a degree where a person says in a poetry , which he places us in the position of those who you are aware of, not (Imam) Ibn Qataan nor other than him, we are merely students of knowledge...” Also below is another advice by Shaykh Yahya al-hajooree which he gave to the poets regarding such exaggerated poetry lines which spubs are now using against Shaykh Yahya, while Shaykh Yahya at that time has already advised regarding them, as found on the below transcription: “May Allah reward you and may Allah pardon me and you, by Allah...by Allah we are less than that, we are merely students of knowledge, we ask Allah to pardon us and look down up our short comings, by Allah we confess to Allah our weakness and powerlessness, we ask Allah to accept our repentance, while we are those who fall short and commit sins. Our brothers , may Allah preserve them, have a high level of good thoughts for us, while by no means we are not at this level, by no means we are not at this level, I will benefit you, take it from me directly, I am by Allah not at this level, we are merely students of knowledge, in dire need for Allah, weak ones, we ask Allah, the lord of mankind to look down upon our short comings, and to pardon our brothers (i.e. the poets), Allah’s aid is sought and may Allah reward you.” http://aloloom.net/vb/showthread.php?t=1198 So why has spubs concealed the aforementioned advice of Shaykh Yahya for those lines of poetry??? Spubs stated: Abu Hatim Sa'eed bin Di'aas al-Yaafi'ee recited the following lines upon Yahya al- Hajuri's return from Hajj in 1428H: ... And he (al-Hajuri) has the forbearance (kindness) of al- Maahi (the Eraser [of falsehood, shirk]), the Messenger. And (he, Yahya) has of Ali, his bravery and vigour... Here Spubs are attempting to deceive the public that the lines of poetry that they have been using against Shaykh Yahya, is by Shaykh Sa’eed bin Da’as which is not true, as it is by an individual who has become from the followers of Ubayd al-Jaabiree, once Shaykh Yahya advised him regarding his extremism , as you can notice below that this particular issue has already been addressed by the noble brother Abu Musab Husain al-Hajooree , where he comments on the following accusation of Arafaat: ‘Arafaat said:“ The twelfth principle: The Extremism (that people have) towards Al-Hajooree's personality, and he (i.e. ash-Shaykh Yahya) is one that is pleased with it, and takes it as his Manhaj.” "I say: I swear by the everlasting existence of Allâh you have lied! He is not pleased with extremism towards him or other than him. And his advice and articles to those that have had extremism towards him (i.e. ash-Shaykh Yahya) or towards other than him are widespread in tapes, and quoted in treatises as a refutation against the oppressive Fitnah makers like yourself (oh ‘Arafaat). And some of them who possess extremism, (then) the Shaykh has disapproved of this from them and anger becomes apparent on his face from what he hears from them, like Abdullah Al-Qaadhee, he is the one whose poetry you have narrated in your insignificant little papers, saying: وتوثب شجاعة العلي ومن *** سماحة الرسول الماحي من وله And he (al-Hajooree) has the forbearance (kindness) of al-Maahi (the Eraser [of falsehood, shirk]), the Messenger. And (he, Yahya) has of Ali, his bravery and vigour. He (i.e. Abdullah al-Qaadhee) has become infatuated and has joined your Hizb, so look at where the returning point of the extremists is. So is it feasible to say that you have excused him (Abdullah Al-Qaadee) from this extremism so that you may actualize what you want from accusing the Shaykh and the Daar with Ghuloo, or is it that you are an abode for the infatuated ones? And both of the two are bitter. Some from amongst them (i.e. the poets) tongue may slip with a word, and would then retract from it, and perhaps the Shaykh would sometimes not pay attention to focusing on the poem and would be preoccupied with an affair, especially when these poems are being read and the Shaykh is looking over the questions (passed forward to him), so by that the attention of the Shaykh is preoccupied and therefore he does not notice this word and if he was to he would surely rebuke it as he has rebuked other than it." Ref: A Refutation upon „Arafaat in what he Perpetrated from Ignorance, Treachery and Tampered statements in: “The Immediate Clarification” 31 Abu Khadeejah stated: “He claimed that the Prophet (salallaahu 'alaihi wassallam) erred in the ways and means of da'wah! i.e. that he erred in the wasaa'il of dawah. That shows both his ignorance and misguidance.” This is a foul attempt by Abu Khadeejah to tamper Shaykh Yahya’s speech out of context whereas the words of Shaikh Yahyaa were misconstrued, while incorrectly posed to Shaikh al- Fawzaan and others by the followers of Saalih al Bakri, and now by the new hizb group of al- Mar'ee. Shaikh Yahyaa pastl y refuted the likes who spread such doubts such as az-Za'aabee whereas Ash-Shaykh Yahya completely refuted the ignorant claims on this subject. As found here in PDF Form (Translated in English). What S haikh Yahyaa said was consistent with what the scholars of Ahl As-sunnah have mentioned regarding this issue based on the texts, and they have clarified the ijtihaad of the Noble Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu'alayhi wasallam: The Fatwa Committee has stated: “Yes the messengers and prophets make mistakes however Allah, The Most High, does not acknowledge (leave) them upon it rather he clarifies for them their mistakes as a mercy to them and their nations and pardons their errors and accepts from them their repentance...” Number of the Fatwa #6290 Likewise Ash-Shaykh Albany, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: “We say that if he (the Messenger alayhi as-salaatu was-salaam) were to perform ijtihaad then be mistaken (in his judgment) then how promptly he would be corrected by the revelation...If it comes the likes of the statement of Allah, The Most High,: * تولى و عبس * He frowned and turned away So therefore this is a prime example (that the prophet perform Ijtihaad however was corrected by revelation) so how do we say that the messenger does not perform ijtihaad, while here he has indeed perform ijtihaad however he was not acknowledged (left) upon (the error) * الذكرى فتنفعه يذكر أو يزكى لعله يدريك وما * "But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure (from sins)? Or that he might receive admonition, and that the admonition might profit him?" Reference: Silsilatul Huda wan Noor #306 And in the tafseer of Al-Imam ash-Shinqeeti, is the following statement: “...The scholars have considered the speech of al-Junayd to be correct “the good deeds of the pious are bad deeds to al-Muqarraabeen (i.e. the close servants to Allah) or what is intended is similar to what has come in the Quran of some of his (salallaahu 'alaihi wassallam) acts of Ijtihaad and in the way of da’wah whereas his (salallaahu 'alaihi wassallam) ijtihaad is unaccepted, therefore it affects him greatly, similar to the story of Ibn Umm Maktoom whereas he was disciplined for it: * تولى و عبس * He frowned and turned away And its likes even if it is after the descending of this surah, except that it is (all) from one angle...” Ref: Adwaa al-Bayyaan (677/8) taken from the second refutation of Husayn al-Hajooree upon Arafaat (1) Ash-Shaikh Yahyaa stated in his radd of Za'aabee regarding the aforementioned verse which Ash-Shaykh Albany mentioned: “This is from the means of Dawah, the P rophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, turned his attention to some of the chiefs of Quraysh, he, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, gave them admonition and enticed them to accept Al-Islam...” Al-Qattaan, may Allah have mercy upon him, stated in his tafseer of Surah “Abasa": "...As for who considered himself independent by his wealth and strength from Allah then you are giving him attention with enthusiasm , so he may accept Islam while you are showing him importance in conveying your da’wah to him..." Ash-Shaikh Yahyaa stated in his radd of Za’aabee: “As for the word 'mistake', then in this affair the scholars agree, those (scholars) that venerate the messenger, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, with due veneration, and they venerate his legislation as a clarification from them for the true legislation, they are those who take this from the Quran and the Sunnah, and that is not in contradiction with his status and his lofty position, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.” Abu Khadeejah stated: “Shaikh al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah) was read some of al-Hajooree's sayings and he responded: "This is wicked speech, don't learn from him.”" As for what Spubs have quoted regarding an old audio clip of Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan then its likes has already been clarified to the degree that even Muhammad bin AbdulWahaab al- Wasaabee previously said: “...This man who brought forward the question to Shaykh al-Fawzan what is apparent to me is that he from those have severe hatred for Shaykh Yahya, may Allah preserve him, whereas he brought forward a general question while such matters should not be presented with such generality (especially) in the public lessons, rather the Shaykh (i.e. al- Fawzaan) should be asked in a tranquil sitting while he (i.e. the questioner) should mention who he is referring to ,this is what is appropriate for him to do, from the view point (i.e. of the questioner) , from another view point what is apparent to me is that Ash-Shaykh al-Fawzaan hasten in the answer (i.e. of the question)...so it is upon Shaykh al-Fawzan to re-examine (the issue) ...What is requested from Ash-Shaykh al-Fawzaan to review this issue and to know that the people of innovations and desires have widely spread this speech of his, they have become delighted by it, whereas they began to make copies of it, in order to refute Ash-Shaykh Yahya al- Hajooree...” Side Note: The aforementioned refutation of Shaykh Yahya al-Hajooree regarding this issue was posted and highly praised on the website of Sahab on the year 2004, as found on this thread: http://www.sahab.net/foru /**********?showtopic=38937 , however on the other hand we find spubs making foul attempts to dispraise this well-prepared refutation of Shaykh Yahya al- Hajooree, and Allah's aid is sought. Abu Khadeejah stated: He claims that the "majority of the Sunnah is revelation". Majority?! Rather ALL of the Sunnah is revelation for the Prophet (salallaahu 'alaihi wassallam) did not speak from his desires. None of us should be in doubt with respect to this deviation. This is another impudent attempt by Abu Khadeejah to tamper Shaykh Yahya’s speech out of context; nevertheless I will quote below the exact speech of Shaykh Yahya al-Hajooree along with its full context to allow the readers to make a comparison between Shaykh Yahya’s speech to the following quotes of the scholars: Al-Imam ash-Shaatibee, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: “Verily the hadeeth is either by a revelation alone or either by an ijtihaad of the Messenger (salallaahu 'alaihi wassallam) which is correctly approved by the revelation...” Ref: al-Muwaafaqaat (335/4). Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: “Ibn Battah stated as in what he wrote to Ibn Shaaqilaa of answers to numerous of matters , whereas he said “and the proof that his (salallaahu 'alaihi wassallam) sunnah and his commands had indeed within it of that which is not by revelation ,which it was by his opinions and judgements, whereas he was indeed admonished regarding some of them , if he was commanded (i.e. by Allah) for them then he would have not been admonished regarding them, and from this perspective is his judgement pertaining to the captives of (the battle) of Badr...al-Qaadhi said (Imam) Ahmad has indeed pointed towards the correctness of what Abu Abdillah Ibn Battah has stated...” Al-Musawwadah page :(507) The Author of the book “al-Mahsool” (366/4) “The fifth angle of it is that some of the acts of Sunnah which are ascribed to the Messenger (salallaahu 'alaihi wassallam), if all was from the revelation then there wouldn’t be an extra benefit for such an addition...” The exact speech of Shaykh Yahya where he stated: “The Ijtihaad of the prophet is success granted from Allâh, so the Sunnah is Tawqeefiyyah (restricted to the texts) and Tawfeeqiyyah (success granted from Allâh). As for it being upon Tawqeef (i.e. it being restricted to the texts), then this is upon a (specific) proof, that Allah has ordered him with. And as for it being upon Tawfeeq (success granted from Allâh) then the revelation agrees with it.” And this establishment is good; within it is the status of the prophet and the status of his Sunnah. For the origin of what the prophet came with is revelation from The Lord of all that exists, from it is the Qur’ân, and all of it is revelation, and from it is the Sunnah and most of it is revelation. And I have clarified, that from the Sunnah there is that which is Tawqeefi, i.e. revelation from Allah, and from it there is that which he made Ijtihaad within and his Lord granted him success concerning that (particular) Ijtihaad and his lord affirmed it for him; the one who honoured him with this degree, the degree of Ijtihaad and increased him in honour by way of his establishment of that matter. And it is for this reason that I said: “As for it being upon Tawqeef (i.e. it being restricted to the texts), then this is upon a (specific) proof, that Allah has ordered him with” and all of this is great praise, veneration for him, and an extolling of his status.And as for it being upon Tawfeeq (success granted from Allâh), then the revelation agrees with this.” End of quote Ash-Shaykh Yahya al-Hajooree, may Allah preserve him, previously said in his refutation of az- Za’aabee: “As for the noble messenger, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, then Allah is responsible for his welfare, He protects him and his legislation with revelation, to the extent that it (i.e. his Sharee ‟ ah) had reached the highest of perfection and completion, which no other legislation from the legislations of the heavens has come with.” Reference here. The Noble Brother Husayn al-Hajooree comments by saying: “So what is all of this strange tampering with the context of the Shaykh's speech; that which affirms that the Sunnah is restriction to the texts and success granted from Allâh, his speech returns back to the fact that all of his Sunnah is revelation, either restricted to the texts or direction from Allâh as you can see, (however the messenger said) “If you are not shy, then do as you wish”... Reference here. Read more regarding this topic here. Side Note: Ash-Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, may Allah preserve him, his speech pertaining to this matter, is not in opposition to the aforementioned quotes of the scholars due to the fact Shaykh al-Fawzaan only intends to criticise those who say the sunnah does not return back to the fact that all of it is revelation, as he rebuked that statement in his sharh of Masaa’il al- Jaahiliyyah (226) where he said: “...And the statement of the one who said verily the sunnah is not revelation from Allah rather it is merely Ijtihaad from the messenger” Likewise on the old audio clip for Shaykh Fawzaan - which Spubs are deceiving the public to be new - , therein Ash-Shaykh al-Fawzaan said: “...And as for the affairs of the legislation, then they are tawqeefee...” The Shaykh clarified what he intended by the word tawqeefee, as he said right after it: “they are revelation from Allaah...” So Shaykh al-Fawzaan only intends to criticise those who say the sunnah does not return back to the fact that all of it is revelation. And as for Shaykh Yahya’s speech then it is as the brother Husayn al-Hajooree said: “...the Shaykh's speech; that which affirms that the Sunnah is restriction to the texts and success granted from Allâh, his speech returns back to the fact that all of his Sunnah is revelation, either restricted to the texts or direction from Allâh as you can see...” The aforementioned source, print daarul baseerah. Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Saalih Al 'Uthaimeen said regarding the explanation of Allah's statement: " And whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah..." And then there is an issue. Is it upon the Messenger ( م ل C C C C C C C C C C C C س و ه ي ل C C C C C C C C C C C C ع الله ى ل C C C C C C C C C C C C ص ) to make Ijtihaad? The answer: Yes. his sunnah is of two types. That which is based on Ijtihaad and that which is based on revelation..." الله ع ا C C ط أ د ق C C ف ل و C C س ر C C ل ا ع ط C C ي ن C C م و ) ى C C ل ا ع C C ت ه C C ل و C C ق ر ي س ف C C ت ي C C ف _ الله ه م C C ح ر _ ين م ي ث C C ع ن C C ب ا ة C C م لا ع C C ل ا ل ا C C ق مسألة وهنا ): 80 النساء ( حفيظا عليهم أرسلناك فما تولى ومن ؟ يجتهد أن وسلم عليه الله صلى للنبي هل ووحي ،اجتهادية نوعان وسنته عم ن : الجواب Shaykh Rabee' Ibn Haadee Al-Madkhalee - May Allah distance him from the Shayaateen from mankind - mentioned in his treatise: explanation of the Hadeeth; "The Religion Is Advice" All of the Sunnah or most of it is revelation, Allah glorified and exalted be He said in praise of the messenger may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family: يُوحَ ى ٌ وَحْ ي إلا َ هُو ْ إِن الْهَوَى ِ عَن ُ يَنطِق وَمَا nor does he speak of (his own) desire; it is only a revelation revealed [An-Najm 3-4] Abdullah Bin 'Amr Bin Al-'Aas used to write everything that he heard from the prophet - may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family -, so the Quraish forbade him from doing so and said: Is it that you write everything that you hear whilst the messenger of Allah - may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family- is but a human that talks whilst he is angry and whilst he is joyful? He said: So I refrained from writing and mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah - may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family - so he indicated with his finger towards his mouth and he said: Write, for by The One in who's hand my soul is in, nothing exits from it (i.e. my mouth) except it is truth [footnotes by Fawaaz Al-Jaza'iree: Reported by Ahmed and Ibn Abee Shaybah and Abu Dawood and Ad-Daarami, and the Hadeeth is Saheeh] And the verse is how you have heard it...: يُوحَ ى ٌ وَحْ ي إلا َ هُو ْ إِن الْهَوَى ِ عَن ُ يَنطِق وَمَا nor does he speak of (his own) desire; it is only a revelation revealed [An-Najm 3-4] ...And the Hadeeth coincides with the verse The Sunnah, if it is not all revelation, then most of it is revelation that was revealed, and from that (revelation) is the Ahadeeth Al-Qudsiyyah... end of that which was intended from the quote Spubs stated: And as for the bold statement that "we do not take the saying of anyone, even the Messenger, except with proof," this was made by one of the followers of al-Hajuri and affirmed by al-Hajuri, and this is a type of boldness and disrespect of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam), This is a ludicrous crime by Spubs, from several angles: Firstly: the speech of the writer has been altered and distorted, whereas the exact speech of the writer will be mentioned below. Secondly: the writer consciously marked his speech pertaining to his sentence “...this is the messenger of Allah...” with an arabic semicolon (i.e. ؛ ) to separate between the aforementioned sentence and the sentence after it. Thirdly: as the saying goes “ ل و C ق C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C ب س C ي C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C ل ل و C ق C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C ل ا لازم ” (the imposition of a statement is not a statement - on its own -), as you may notice that some great scholars generally praised the book of Abul Hasan al-Maribee entitled (As-Siraaj Al-Wihaaj) while it was later clarified by Shaykh Rabee and others the errors of that book however such errors was not ascribed to those great scholars nor said that they affirmed such errors!!! Due to the possibility that they may have browsed through the book briefly, or browsed through the majority of it or other than that from the legitimate excuses. Fourthly: in what spubs distributed that ash-Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan spoke against the statements of Shaykh Yahya, therein it was stated in the question posed to Shaykh al-Fawzan regarding the so called statements of Shaykh Yahya: “...says that the saying of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) and whoever is less than him is not accepted except with an acceptable evidence...” The below refutation by Husayn al-Hajooree regarding Arafaat’s statement pertaining to this issue will show the reader this ludicrous crime by spubs was all built upon deception and trickery. Arafaat said: I say: look at the ignorance of this writer! Is the writer and the one giving an introduction for him ignorant that the M essenger does not speak except the truth, and he does not say except the truth, may my mother and father be sacrificed for him. The messenger does not say or do (anything) which is in relation to the religion except (that which is in accordance) to revelation from Allâh the Most High. And look at the repulsiveness of his statement ‘his statement is not accepted except with a proof!! Or (with a) justifiable evidence!!’” The Noble Brother Husayn al-Hajooree said: I say: Firstly, (about) your statement: “And look at the repulsiveness of his statement: ‘...his statement is not accepted except with a proof!! Or (with a) justifiable evidence!!’”, i.e. the statement of the Prophet , then this is a lie against him (i.e. the writer of this article), or (it is the case that) you are purposely trying to act like you do not understand correctly (in order to) deceive (others), that is because the brother said: “...this is the messenger of Allâh ...”, and at this point the speech of the brother ended, and the meaning of it is- this is the messenger of Allâh who had said what had preceded, then he said: “...as for other than him...” i.e. other than the Prophet . - And the letter Faa (corresponding to: 'as for') in his statement: “Fa Man...”1 is Isti’naafiyyah (A faa used for renewing a sentence). (Then he said) “...his statement is not accepted except with a proof...at the same time we have reverence for the one that says this...”, if he is from the scholars of the Sunnah, “...his statement is not accepted except with a proof...”, and this is something that every Muslim knows, the fact that the statement of the Messenger of Allâh is a proof and an evidence (in itself), Allâh the most high says: فَانتَهُوا ْ عنه نهَاكُم وَمَا ُ فَخُذُوه ُ الرَّسُ ول ُ آتَاكُم وَمَا And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad ) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it), and fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is Severe in punishment. (Al-Hashr 59:7) And he also said: أليم عذاب يصيبهم أو فتنة تصيبهم أن أمره عن يخالفون الذين فليحذر And let those who oppose the Messenger's (Muhammad ) commandment (i.e. his Sunnah legal ways, orders, acts of worship, statements, etc) beware, lest some Fitnah (disbelief, trials, afflictions, earthquakes, killing, overpowered by a tyrant, etc.) befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them. (An-Nur 24:63) And other than that from proofs. (So the term) 'FaaHadha' is from the things that connect (the sentences together) by word and separates (the sentences) by meaning, a ‘Master project’ has been authored concerning this (subject), which is entitled: (That which is Connected by Word and is Separated by Meaning in the noble Quran), from Surah Yaseen to the end of the noble Quran, and read what As-Suyooti, may Allâh have mercy upon him, has clarified concerning this subject in Al-Itqaan, page 276/1 Daar Al-Hadeeth print. Secondly: Not every article that the Shaykh gives an introduction for becomes one of his statements, because perhaps he may flick through an article quickly, or flick through majority of it and then give permission for its distribution, otherwise impose this imposition upon those that had given an introduction to the book of Abul-Hasan (As-Siraaj Al-Wihaaj) due to what is in it from error, ...” Abu Khadeejah stated: “He falsely accused the Sahaabah (radhi Allaahu 'anhu) of initiating the bid'ah of irjaa.” This fabrication was originated in the fitnah of Abul Hasan al-Maribee; almost ten years ago, Abu Khadeejah transferred it into his "gun Barrel" without ascribing it to his exemplars and thought his hands had become filled with attainment against Shaykh Yahya. The Noble Brother al-Husayn al-Hajooree, may Allah reward him, stated in his refutation on the fabrications of Arafaat. “ I say: Speech has preceded concerning this in the article: ‘The statements of Ash-Shaykh Yahya in what he was criticised for from affairs’ of which the following is the summary of: This is from among the fabrications that he has been accused with, he merely narrated from Ibn Abil-‘Izz Al-Hanafee, may Allâh the most high have mercy upon him in his explanation of At-Tahaawiyyah, page 324 – print Al-Maktab Al-Islaami, without any addition or decrease, and neither did he accuse the honourable companion with that, may Allâh be pleased with him, for he (i.e. Ash-Shaykh Yahya) said: Abil-‘Izz said: Indeed the doubt that had come upon the Murjiah had occurred to some of the earlier ones,...and they are Qudaamah bin ‘Abdullah (his name is actually Qudaamah Bin Madh’oon) and his companions...” to end of the quote. So they became overjoyed (thinking that they could defame ash-Shaykh Yahya) by this statement and added some words to it!! From them is their statement: ‘The first one to profess Al-Irjaa was Abdullah Bin Madh’oon’ and in another narration of theirs ‘Uthmaan Bin Madh’oon’, and from them is their statement: ‘Indeed there are from the Sahaabah those that fell into Al- Irjaa’ and other than that from statements that are based upon the narrating of lies and fabrications. And all of these statements are accusations upon him (Shaykh Yahya), that which the narrator is incapable of affirming from a tape or a book, except perhaps narrating from something that is based upon ‘Qeel1 and what will make you come to know what Qeel is? And Ash-Shaykh Yahya, may Allah the most high grant him success, rebukes all of these statements as we have heard from him a long time ago, the most that the Shaykh had within his speech which is actually affirmed is that he quoted from Imaam Abil-‘Izz, may Allah the most high have mercy upon him, especially the fact that he was teaching the explanation of At- Tahaawiyyah (at the time of saying this statement), so he is merely quoting here and not saying (it from himself) and he was merely relaying speech from an Imaam (at the point of when he was reading this) not finding faults. And since some time ago, perhaps a year ago, he looked into this issue (deeper) and refrained from engaging in it, and some of his students gathered a compilation (of narrations concerning the affair) at the time and read the summary of it to him (i.e. Ash-Shaykh Yahya), so this student had concluded that this statement of Imaam Ibn Abil-‘Izz, may Allah the most high have mercy upon him, is incorrect and that he (Imaam Ibn Abil-‘Izz) had erred in his relaying of it from Shaykh Al-Islam, may Allah the most high have mercy upon him (return back to Majmoo’ Al- Fataawa, volume number 11, page 403 and that which is before it). So he (Ash-Shaykh Yahya) retracted from this statement, especially (seeing) that he had researched and then ordered his students to look into the chains of these narrations, then it had become clear that many of the additional wordings and narrations were not affirmed! Despite this, these people are still becoming overly rejoiced with their lies, exaggerations and distortions, to the extent that they have extracted the issues from the taking place of research, looking into (affairs), deeming issues to be correct and wrong to the dictionary of revilements, fountain of lying and a sea of defamation!! سبيلا أهدى هو بمن أعل
