❐ With submission to the authentic narrations and the traditions (which the reliable narrators narrated: a just person from a just person until that ends at RasulAllah sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) they rebuke arguing and quarrelling about the religion, disputing about predestination, and debating about whatever the People of Argument debate and contend (with each other) about from their religion, and they do not (ask) how, nor why, because that is a heresy.
❐ They say that Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) did not order the evil, but (that) He prohibited it and ordered the good. He is not pleased with the evil, even if it was desired to Him.
❐ They recognize the right of the predecessors who Allah (azza wajal) chose because of the companionship of His prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), they accept their virtues, and they withhold from what occurred between them, their young and their old. They give precedence to Abu Bakr (Rady'Allahu Anhu), then Umar (Rady'Allahu Anhu), then Uthman (Rady'Allahu Anhu), then Ali (Rady'Allahu Anhu). They affirm that they are the Rightly Guided Successors, the best of all of the people after RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).
❐ They attest to the hadiths that came from RasulAllah (mentioning) that "Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) decends to the worldy heaven and says: Is there anyone asking for forgiveness?” just as the hadith came from RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).
❐ They keep to the Book and the Sunnah just as Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) said: "Thus, if you contend (with each other) in anything, then return it to Allah and the Messenger." [an-Nisa 4/59] .
❐ They are of the opinion of following those who preceded from the imams of the religion (who) did not introduce heresies into their religion which Allah did not permit.
❐ They affirm that Allah (jaalla jalaluhu) comes on the Day of Standing, just as He said: "And your Lord will come, as will the angels, row by row." [al-Fajr 89/22] ,
❐ and that Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) gets close to His creation however He wills as He said: "And We are closer to you than the jugular vein." [Qaf 50/17]
❐ They are of the opinion of (praying) the id, the Friday, and the congregational (prayers) behind every imam, righteous or immoral; and they confirm (that) the wiping over the shoes (during ablution) is a sunnah and deem it appropriate during (times of) settlement and (times of) travel.
❐ They confirm the religious duty of Jihaad against the polytheists since Allah dispatched His prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), until the last of the troop fights the Imposter, and after that. They are of the opinion of supplicating for improvement for the imams of the Muslims, that they do not rebel against them with the sword, and that they do not fight them during the (times of) turmoil.
❐ They attest to the emergence of the Imposter (Dajjal) and that Isa bin Maryam (alayhi wa sallam) will kill him, and they believe in Munkar and Nakir, the Ascent, the dream during sleep, and that the supplication for the Muslim dead and the charity from them reaches them after their death.
❐ They attest that (there are) magicians in the world, that the magician is a disbeliever, and that magic exists and is found in the world.
❐ They are of the opinion of praying over all of those who die from the People of the Qiblah, the righteous (ones from) them, and the immoral (ones from) them, as well as the (transmission of) their inheritance.
❐ They are of the opinion that Paradise and the Fire are both (already) created; that whoever died died at his appointed time, and similiarly whoever was killed was killed at his appointed time; that the provisions are from Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) He provides it to His servants whether it is lawful or forbidden; that the devil whispers (temptations) to the human being, causes him to doubt, and causes him to stumble.

❐ That it is indeed possible that Allah endowes the virtuous with signs (that) support them; that the Sunnah does (not) abrogate[1] the Qur’an; that the children’s affair is to Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) , if He willed He will punish them, and if He willed He will do with them however He desired; that Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) knows what the servants will do, that he wrote that that will happen, and that the affairs are in Allah’s hand.

They profess the worship of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and the advice to the congregation of the Muslims, avoid great sins, fornication, false statement, bigotry, boasting, pride, contempt for the people, and conceit.
❐ They are of the opinion of avoiding every caller to heresy; occupying (themselves) with reading the Qur’an, writing the narrations, and studying jurisprudence, with humbleness; good character; offering the recognized (good acts); stopping the harm; leaving backbiting, defamation, and slander; and checking food and drink.
❐ So this is the sum of what what they command, employ, and hold the opinion of. And of all of what we mentioned of their statement, we speak, and to it we opine; and our success is not except by Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) . He suffices us and is the excellent Trustee. Of Him we seek aid, upon Him we rely, and to Him is the outcome."

❐ FN [1] - This is a mistake from the author (may Allah have mercy on him) and perhaps “does not” (لا) was added by the transcriber, either purposely or inadvertently, because the truth that many of the People of the Sunnah are upon is that the Sunnah can abrogate the Qur’an. From that is the hadith:
❐ "(There is) no bequest for the heir." (which) abrogated His statement (swt): "When death visits one of you, if he left good (i.e., wealth), the bequest for the parents and (close) relatives is prescribed for you." [al-Baqarah 2/180]
❐ The Sunnah’s abrogating the Qur’an means that the Sunnah specifies the Qur’an’s generality or restricts the Qur’an’s unrestrictedness, contrary to the Hanafis whose statement is false, based on an unsound foundation; that the Sunnah is speculative according to them.
❐ And because, generally, the predecessors had differed in this issue into two factions:
❐ The first: approved of the Sunnah’s abrogating the Qur’an. They deduced (that) by many evidences and maintained that the abrogation was for the ruling only.
❐ The second denied the Sunnah’s abrogating the Qur’an; they had other proofs regarding that.
❐ Each of the the two groups replied to the other, and it is an issue of large differing. ❐

❐ His Title: Qawwam as-Sunnah, which means: Establisher of the Sunnah.
❐ Fiqh Madhhab: Shafi'i, Ibn Katheer said: “The imam, the Hafidh, the great scholar: Abu Al Qasim Al-Tamimi Al-Talhi Al-Asbahani Al-Juzy, who was known as: the Qawwam of Sunnah, one of Imams of the Shafi'e mathhab, and one of the great scholars of Hadith and its critics.”

Abu Musa Al-Madini , he learned from him the Mathhab and the sciences of Hadith.
Abu Sa`d As-Sam`ani.
Abu Tahir As-Sulafi.
Abu Al-`Ala’ Al-Hamadhani.
Abul Qasim Ibn `Asakir .
And others.
❐ His Life and Critics' Views of Him:
He stayed near the haram in Makkah for one year, dictating, compiling works, and discussing the validating and invalidating of narrators (Al-Jarh wa Al-Ta`deel).
❐ Abu Sa`d As-Sam`ani, one of his students, said: “He was an imam in the sciences of: tafsir, hadith, and the Arabic language and literature; he was a memorizer (Hafidh), proficient, of great stature, Invaluable, and knowledgable in regards to the texts of hadith and its chains.
💢He heard many himself, and transcribed … he dictated in the masjid of Asbahan about 3000 sittings, and a group of shaikhs and youngsters would attend it and would write it down; and during the time of my stay, I did not miss any of his dictation.
🍃and he would dictate a sitting especifically for me once a week in his home, and I would read to him two days a week … I wrote a lot from him, and also benefited from him, and he is from my father’s teachers – May Allah have mercy upon him-.”
❐ He also said : “My father said: I have not seen any one in Iraq that knows and understands the Hadith but two : Isma`il AlJuzy in Asbahan, and Al-Mu'taman bin Ahmad in Baghdad.”
❐ Abu Musa Al-Madini said in his “Mu`jam”: “Abul Qasim the Hafidh, the Imam of Imams of his time, and the teacher of the scholars of his era, and the role model of Ahlus-Sunnah in his time. Many Shaikhs told us about him during his life while he was in Makkah, Baghdad, and Asbahan …
⭕️I do not know anyone who criticized his speech or actions … he would not enter upon a ruler or the ones who were in contact with them. A house from his property was left for the people of knowledge although he was lacking financially; and if one had given him the whole world he would have not felt higher in status. He held about 3500 sittings.”
❐ Abu Musa also said: “He did several khatmat (Khatmah: reading of the whole Qur'an) with Qira’at to a group of people. As for the science of interpretation (tafsir), semantics, and syntax (of the Quran), then he has authored in it a book in Arabic and Persian. As for fiqh, his fatwas became famous in the country, and no one rejected or denied any of his fatwas in the madhhab, nor in the fundamentals of religion and Sunnah.”
❐ The Hafith Muhammad bin Abi Nasr Al-Laftuwani said in some of his “Amalee”: “Our Sheikh, the Hafith, Ismail, the Imam of the fifth century, he has lived in Isbahan for more than thirty years before the year five hundred, and around that many years after it.

❖ Sharh Saheeh Bukhari and Saheeh Muslim; it was done by his son, but his son died before completing it, so he completed it for him.
and other works.
❐ His Death:
❐ He passed away in the last third of night (As-Sahar time), on the day of Eid al-Adha in year 535 Hijri in Ispahan. His brother Abu al Mardhee prayed in his janazah (funeral), and there gathered for his Janazah a number that I have not seen like it.
❐ His nephew, Abu Ja`far Muhammad bin al-Hasan said: Ahmad Al-Aswari who washed my uncles body (i.e. ghusl of the deceased person), and he was trustworthy, told me that when he wanted to remove the cloth from his private part in order to wash it, Isma`il grabbed it with his hand and covered with it his private part; so the washer said: Is it life after death ?!
❖ Abu’l-Qasim al-Asbahani said:
❐ Iman
❐ "Iman, in the legislative sense (i.e., Shar’iah usage) is a term which signifies all of the acts of obedience, both internal and external.
❐ The Asharis say that iman is assent, tasdiq, and that actions follow on from it, but are not from iman itself. The benefit of (the existence of) this difference is that the one who is devoid of actions and commits the forbidden acts, will not have the name of believer applied to him absolutely and it is said in this regard that he is deficient in faith, since he has neglected some parts of it.
❐ And in the view of those (i.e., the Asharis) the name of believer can be applied to him absolutely because (in their view) iman signifies assent, tasdiq and such a person has fulfilled this. Our evidence for this is the saying of the Exalted:
❐ “Verily the believers are those whose hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned…”
[al-Anfal 8/2]
❐ up to His statement: “…they are the believers in truth.” [al-Anfal 8/4]
❐ So He described them with the real and true iman due the presence of these actions. And the Most High said:
❐ “And never would Allah cause your iman to be lost.” [al-Baqarah 2/143]
❐ Meaning, your prayer. So He applied the term iman to the prayer, yet it is an action. What also gives evidence to this is what is reported from Abu Hurayrah (Rady'Allahu Anhu) that he said: "RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said:
❐ " Iman consists of seventy odd branches." and in another narration: "sixty odd branches: the most superior of them being the declaration that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and the lowest of them being the removal of something harmful from the path. And modesty is a branch of iman."
❐ (What also constitutes our evidence is that) the one who is compelled into iman, his entrance into iman is correct and acceptable.
❐ Because if iman was something unique to the heart (alone), his entry into iman would not have been correct, since that is not possible with compulsion. It can be attained from the perspective of the outward sayings and deeds.

❐ And because iman is actually what constitutes the din (religion) of a Muslim, and the din is a term that signifies acts of obedience, then likewise (is) the iman that is characteristic of him. And also (the fact that) the term ‘perfect in faith’ cannot be applied to the one who abandons fasting, zakaah, and who commits the obscene acts.

❖❐ The Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said, “There is no deed that is better in the sight of Allah or more greatly rewarded than a good deed done in the (first) ten days of Al-Adha”.
❐ It was asked, “Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah?” The Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) replied,
❐ “Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah, unless a man goes out himself for Jihad taking his wealth with him and does not come back with anything.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhari]
❐ Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) blessed the nation of Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) with opportunities to reap rewards and blessings every day of the year.
❐ The last ten nights of Ramadan (the month of fasting) are among the most blessed nights of the year; in particular Laylatul-Qadr (the night of power) is extremely sacred.
❐ Similarly, the first ten days of Dhul-Hijja (the 12th Islamic calendar month) carry special status during the blessed month of “(Hajj) Pilgrimage.”
❐ The above Hadith of the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) spells out the importance of these ten days in the sight of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and the amplified reward for all good deeds during this blessed season.
❐ Just like the last ten nights of Ramadan are the best ten nights out of the year, these first ten days of Dhul-Hijja are the best days of the year and the most beloved to Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) as they combine acts of worship in a way unlike any other time.
❐ So, the questions we should be asking ourselves are, “How do we make the most of this season of blessings?”, “What deeds can I perform to attain His pleasure?”.
❐ The following are some examples of the acts of worship that will help us gain His pleasure In shaa Allah.
1⃣ Perform Hajj (Pilgrimage)
💠 Obviously, Hajj is one of the best deeds that one can do during these ten days. However for those of us who were not invited to His House this year, there are still many more ways to earn the pleasure of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala).
2⃣ Fast all nine days and especially on the ‘Day of Arafah’
💠 RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) used to fast on the first nine days of Dhu’l-Hijjah.
❐ It was narrated from Hunaydah ibn Khaalid from his wife, that one of the wives of RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said:
❐ "RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) used to fast on the first nine days of Dhu’l-Hijjah and the day of Ashura, and three days each month, the first Monday of the month and two Thursdays." [Nasai; Abu Dawud]
❐ Hafsah (Rady'Allahu Anha) reported, "There are five things that RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) never abandoned:
❖ fasting on the day of Ashurah,
❖ fasting the [first] 10 [days of Dhul-Hijjah],
❖ fasting 3 days of every month
❖ and praying two rak'ah before the dawn prayer." [Ahmad; Nasai]
❐ "The fuqaha are unanimously agreed that it is mustahabb to fast during the first eight days of Dhu’l-Hijjah, before the day of Arafah.
❐ The Malikis and Shafi’is stated that it is Sunnah to fast on these days for the pilgrim too." [al-Mawsu’ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 28/91]
❐ "It is Sunnah to fast the eight days before the day of Arafah, as is stated in al-Rawdah, and that applies equally to pilgrims and others, but it is not Sunnah for the pilgrim to fast on the day of Arafah,
❐ rather it is mustahabb for him not to fast then, even if he is able for it, following the example of RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), and so that he will have more strength for du'a."
[Nihaayat al-Muhtaaj, 3/207]
❐ RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “Anyone who fasts for one day for Allah’s pleasure, Allah will keep his face away from the (Hell) fire for (a distance covered by a journey of) seventy years.” [Bukhari, Muslim]
❐ RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) used to fast on the ninth day of Dhul-Hijja and he said:
❐ “Fasting the Day of ‘Arafah (ninth Dhul-Hijja) is an expiation for (all the sins of) the previous year and expiation for (all the sins of) the coming year.” [Muslim]
❖❐ The Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said, “There is no deed that is better in the sight of Allah or more greatly rewarded than a good deed done in the (first) ten days of Al-Adha”.
❐ It was asked, “Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah?” The Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) replied,
❐ “Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah, unless a man goes out himself for Jihad taking his wealth with him and does not come back with anything.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhari]
❐ Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) blessed the nation of Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) with opportunities to reap rewards and blessings every day of the year.
❐ The last ten nights of Ramadan (the month of fasting) are among the most blessed nights of the year; in particular Laylatul-Qadr (the night of power) is extremely sacred.
❐ Similarly, the first ten days of Dhul-Hijja (the 12th Islamic calendar month) carry special status during the blessed month of “(Hajj) Pilgrimage.”

❐ So, the questions we should be asking ourselves are, “How do we make the most of this season of blessings?”, “What deeds can I perform to attain His pleasure?”.
❐ The following are some examples of the acts of worship that will help us gain His pleasure In shaa Allah.
1⃣ Perform Hajj (Pilgrimage)
💠 Obviously, Hajj is one of the best deeds that one can do during these ten days. However for those of us who were not invited to His House this year, there are still many more ways to earn the pleasure of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala).
2⃣ Fast all nine days and especially on the ‘Day of Arafah’

❐ RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) used to fast on the ninth day of Dhul-Hijja and he said:
❐ “Fasting the Day of ‘Arafah (ninth Dhul-Hijja) is an expiation for (all the sins of) the previous year and expiation for (all the sins of) the coming year.” [Muslim]
3⃣ Perform Dhikr and Takbeer :
💠 The RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “There are no days on which good deeds are greater or more beloved to Allah than on these ten days, so recite much
❖ Tahleel (saying Laa ilaaha ill-Allah),
❖ Takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) and
❖ Tahmeed (saying Alhamdu Lillaah).”
[Ahmad -Saheeh]
❐ Ibn ‘Umar and Abu Hurayrah (Rady'Allahu Anhu) used to go out in the marketplace during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijja, reciting Takbeer, and the people would recite Takbeer when they heard them. [Bukhari]
❐ Takbeer at this time is a Sunnah that has mostly been forgotten, especially during the first few days. So say it in the masjid, in your home, on the street and every place where it is permitted to remember Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala).
❐ Revive the Sunnah that have been virtually forgotten and earn great rewards for doing so.
❐ RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “Whoever revives an aspect of my Sunnah that is forgotten after my death, he will have a reward equivalent to that of the people who follow him, without it detracting in the least from their reward.” [Tirmidhi- Hasan]
4⃣ Stand the Night in Prayer :
💠 Seeking Allah’s forgiveness and humbling ourselves in front of Him in supplication and prayers during the latter part of the night is an act of worship that is very beloved to Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala).
❐ Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) calls out to His servants in the latter part of the night: “Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to his invocation?
❐ Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?” [Bukhaari, Muslim]
❐ We should seize this opportunity and beg Him Glorified and Exalted be He for His Divine Generosity and Mercy. We should ask Him as our Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) taught us
❐ “Our Lord, bless us with the best of this world and the best of hereafter and save us from the fire of Hell.”
5⃣ Make Sincere Repentance :
💠 Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) loves those who repent to Him in complete submission. The act of sincere repentance to Allah with intention to never return to His disobedience and sin is very dear to Him (Subhanahu wa ta'ala).
❐ Return to Allah by giving up all the deeds, open and secret, that He dislikes. Be regretful of your sins and disobedience and resolve to never return to sin and to firmly adhere to the path which Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) loves.
❐ Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) says, “But as for him who repented, believed and did righteous deeds, then he will be among those who are successful.” [Al-Qasas 28:67]
6⃣ Return to Book of Allah (The Quran)
💠 It is time to dust off your copy of the Quran. Establish a beautiful new relationship with the book of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) starting in these ten days of Dhul-Hijja.
❐ Recite its verses and you will reap its blessings. Understand its message. Implement the commandments of this book in your life.
❐ This relationship with the Quran will open for you the doors of wisdom and happiness in your life. This will ultimately lead to guidance and success in this life and the Hereafter.
7⃣ Increase in doing ALL good deeds :
💠 If you are not able to perform Hajj this year, occupy yourself during these blessed days by any and every possible good deed. Every act that is done with sincerity for the pleasure of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) will bring you closer to Him.
❐ “So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom, shall see it; and whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom, shall see it.“
[Al-Zalzalah 99:7-8]
8⃣ Slaughter an animal and distribute the meat (Sacrifice)
💠 Ibn Umar (Rady'Allahu Anhu) said: “ RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) lived in Madeenah for ten years and every year he slaughtered an animal.” [Ahmad-Saheeh by al-Albaani]
9⃣ Attend Eid prayers :
💠 Attending Eid prayers is from the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).
💠 The RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “There are no days on which good deeds are greater or more beloved to Allah than on these ten days, so recite much
❖ Tahleel (saying Laa ilaaha ill-Allah),

💠 Attending Eid prayers is from the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).
We should be keen on practicing this Sunnah and performing it according to the teachings of our Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).
❐ Eid is a time of joy and happiness and we should be inclusive of all of our brothers and sisters in Islam who may not be as fortunate to have enough to enjoy this blessed occasion.
🔟 Thank Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) :
💠 One of the biggest forms of worshiping Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) is to thank Him, deeply, sincerely and continuously. After all, it is He who blessed us with all that we have.

💥"There is an hour (opportune time) on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while praying and asks something from Allah, then Allah will definitely meet his demand."
🔰And he (the Prophetﷺ) pointed out the shortness of that time with his hands.
