Stated Shaykh Jamaal ad-Deen al-Qaasimee…<\/span><\/del> [*]<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Stated Al-Haafith Jalaal ad-Deen as-Suyootee\u00a0[1] (may Allaah have Mercy on him):<\/p>\n

The blessing of knowledge and gratitude for it is to\u00a0reference\u00a0it to\u00a0its source<\/strong>, as stated by al-Haafith Aboo Taahir as-Silafee [2],\u00a0who\u00a0heard from Abul-[Husayn] as-Sayrafee [3], who\u00a0said: I heard Aboo ‘Abdillaah as-Sooree [4]\u00a0saying: ‘Abdul-Ghanee ibn Sa’eed [5] said to me:<\/p>\n

When my\u00a0letter (perhaps a small treatise)\u00a0reached Aboo ‘Abdillaah al-Haakim [6], he responded\u00a0by thanking me for it, and he mentioned that he\u00a0taught it to the people\u00a0in dictation form. His written response included acknowledgment of benefitting (from me), and that he does not narrate it\u00a0except\u00a0with reference to me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And [Al-Haakim also said]: Abul-‘Abbaas Muhammad ibn Ya’qoob al-Asamm [7]\u00a0narrated to them,\u00a0that al-‘Abbaas ibn Muhammad ad-Dooree [8] said: I heard Aboo ‘Ubayd [9]\u00a0say:<\/p>\n

Being thankful for knowledge means that you\u00a0take\u00a0benefit from someone, and then when asked about it, you say: This was\u00a0hidden from me and I did not have knowledge of it until So-and-So\u00a0benefitted me with it. This is\u00a0being thankful for knowledge.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thus, you do not find me mentioning anything -not one letter- in\u00a0any of my books\u00a0except that it is clearly referenced to the one who (originally)\u00a0said it, clearly identifying his book where he mentioned it.<\/p>\n

[*] This article originally included some speech from Jamaal ad-Deen al-Qaasimee in his book, Qawaa’id at-Tahdeeth, as well as some praise for the book attributed to Shaykh Al-Albaanee. After review, al-Qaasimee was found to have honored and promoted people of severe deviation, like Muhyiud-Deen Ibn ‘Arabee, and\u00a0a number\u00a0of the Jahmiyyah, after claiming that the heretical sect included\u00a0a strain of upright\u00a0adherents! In recent research pinpointing the mistakes of Ibraaheem ar-Ruhaylee, Shaykh ‘Ubayd al-Jaabiree (may Allaah preserve him) stated that al-Qaasimee was “wicked, astray, leading others astray.” [See this (in Arabic).]<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
