A commentary on the famous poem of Imam al-Bayqūnī in the field of hadith sciences entitled al-Manzumah al-Bayquniyyah Fi Mustalah al-Hadith by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen (rahimullah).
The Merits of the Poem of al-Bayqūnī:
Shihāb al-Dīn al-Dimyāthī said, “The poem of the knowledgeable imām of understanding and perception, al-Shaykh al-Bayqūnī (rahimullah) is one of the most interesting summaries of the science of hadīth and the most eloquent of the writings upon which one takes the rigorous course upon, for it is comprised of clear yet fine expressions that overwhelms its counterparts with a grim face.”
The importance of this subject:
The knowledge of usūl al-hadīth is a science that serves the radiant Prophetic traditions; with it one can distinguish the Prophetic narrations in terms of authenticity and fabrication, soundness and weakness.
Al-Imām ‘Abdullāh ibn al-Mubārak said, “The quality of the hadīth is not in the conciseness of the isnād, rather its quality lies in the soundness of its narrators."
Al-Imām Yahyā ibn Sa`īd al-Qattān said, “Do not look at the hadīth but rather look at its chain. If the chain is sound [then the narration is sound]. If not, then do not be deceived by the narration with a chain that is not sound.”
Al-Hāfiz ibn Qutaybah al-Daynūrī said, “There is no nation amongst the nations with the isnād like their chains (i.e. this nation); narrator from narrator, the trustworthy from the trustworthy in such a way until it reaches the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wa sallam) and his Companions, so that the sound can be differentiated from the weak, the connected from the disconnected and the fabricated from the genuine.”

Abu 'Abdullah Muhammad ibn Salih ibn Muhammad ibn Al-'Uthaymin at-Tamimi an-Najdi. Shaykh ibn 'Uthaymin, as he was most known, was born in the city of 'Unayzah, Qasim Region, Saudi Arabia, on 27th Ramadhan 1347H in a famous religious family.
He got his education from many prominent scholars like Shaykh 'Abdur-Rahman ibn Nasir as-Sa'di (1307H - 1376H), Shaykh Muhammad al-Amin ash-Shanqiti (1325H - 1393H), and Shaykh 'Abdul-'Aziz ibn Baz (1330H - 1420H), along with many more.
When he entered into teaching, a great number of students from inside and outside Saudi Arabia benefited from him. He was known for his own unique style of interpretation and explanation of religious points. He is from among those scholars who served Islam without any type of religious prejudice and kept themselves away from the limitations of blind-following. He is distinguished in his great exertion of effort in religious matters and analogical deductions which clearly prove the religious understanding he possessed, and the correct usage of the principles of religion he adopted.
Along with Shaykh Nasir ud-Din al-Albani (d. 1420H) and Shaykh 'Abdul-'Aziz ibn Baz (d. 1420H) he is from great scholars of the 14th century hijri, although many more deserve to be mentioned.
In giving religious verdicts, they were based on the manhaj of Ahlus-Sunnah wa'l-Jama'ah and evidenced from the Qur'an and Sunnah. He has about fifty compilations to his credit. Recently before his death, he was teaching religious fundamentals at the Shari'ah Faculty of Imam Muhammad ibn Sa'ud Islamic University, Qasim Branch. He was also a member of the Committee of Senior Scholars of the Kingdom, and was the Imam and Khatib of the Mosque of 'Unayzah city.
Among his well-known works are:
Shaykh ibn 'Uthaymin was famous for his simplicity, modesty, along with exceptional mannerisms towards all those he encountered. He passed away on Wednesday 15 Shawwal, 1421H. He was buried in Makkah amongst his peers including Shaykh ibn Baz.
May Allah have mercy upon him the Shaykh and enter him into the highest levels of Paradise. Amin.
Concerning the Imam, the Shaykh - Muhammad ibn Salih ibn Al-'Uthaymin (rahimahullah), it has been narrated by Muhammad ibn 'Abdul-Jawad as-Sawi:
"Once the Shaykh was invited by one of the charity organisations in Jeddah, and the meeting prolonged into the night, close to one o'clock in the morning; and it was not the habit of the Shaykh to remain awake like this. It was noticeable that he was overcome with exhaustion and tiredness and it was evident he needed sleep, so we returned to the house where the Shaykh was staying, and we entered and fell asleep right away.
In the middle of the night, at about 3:30am, after we had been sleeping for about only two hours – since we fell asleep at about 1:30 – I noticed the sound of the Shaykh reciting in prayer; and this at a time when he was desperately in need of sleep and rest, (yet) he was standing before his Lord praying." [Safahat Mushriqah min Hayat Al-Imam Muhammad ibn Salih ibn Al-'Uthaymin - p.73]
Concerning the Imam, the Shaykh - Muhammad ibn Salih ibn Al-'Uthaymin (rahimahullah), 'Abdullah ibn 'Ali al-Matawwu narrates that he accompanied the Shaykh (from 'Unayzah) to Al-Bada'i – which was a distance of 15 kilometres from 'Unayzah – for a lunch invitation.
After lunch, on their return home they noticed a man with a red beard (possibly dyed with henna), and a peaceful look about him waving his hand. The Shaykh said, "Slow down, we'll take him with us." So the Shaykh said to him, "Where do you want to go?"
He said: "Take me with you to 'Unayzah."
So the Shaykh said to him, "On two conditions: First, that you do not smoke, and second, you increase in the remembrance of Allah."
The man responded: "As for smoking, then I do not smoke, however, I was a passenger with a man who smoked and (because of this) I asked him to drop me off (here), and as for the remembrance of Allah, there is no Muslim except that he remembers Allah."
So the man got in the car.
It was apparent throughout the journey that the man was not aware he was in the company of Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymin. So when they arrived at 'Unayzah, the man said, "Direct me to the house of Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymin, (as I have a question I need to ask him)."
So the Shaykh said to him: "Why did you not ask him when you met him in Al-Bada'i?"
And the man said: "I did not meet him."
The Shaykh said: "I saw you with my own eyes talking to him and greeting him."
So the man said: "You are making fun of a man who is older than your father!"
The Shaykh smiled and said to him: "Pray the 'Asr prayer at this (masjid) Jami' (Jami' 'Unayzah) and you shall see him."
The man then left without knowing he was talking to Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymin himself.
After he finished praying the 'Asr prayer, he saw the Shaykh in front having led the congregation in prayer. So he asked about him, and was informed that he is the Shaykh. So he approached the Shaykh and excused himself that he had not known (recognised) him (earlier), then asked his question. The Shaykh answered his question, and the man began to cry, supplicating for the Shaykh. [Al-Jami' li-Hayat al-'Allamah Muhammed ibn Salih ibn Al-'Uthaymin – p.38]

Book Review By Mufti Ismail Menk
From the feedback from our initial launch, Guess what? Who else found this book beneficial…
■ A Son - This book not only made him realise the sacrifices his mother went through in his nurturing, but it also helped him understand her transition from being a ‘Mother’ to a ‘Mother-in-law’, encouraging him to fulfil the vital role in a family unit, by bonding the relationship between his mother and his wife, thus creating harmony, mutual love and care amongst them.
■ A Daughter - This book is the perfect gift to her mother, in order to enlighten her mom’s heart and to free her mom from the shackles of unnecessary emotions that comes from the urge to control the life of one’s daughter-in-law and harbouring unrealistic expectations from her.
■ A Sister-in-law - It helped her grasp the essence of meaningful relationships and inspired her to strengthen her bond with her brother’s wife. Alhamdulillah…The beauty, versatility and vastness of the principles and teachings of Islam benefit all.
‘When The Two Seas Meet’ is the debut book of Umm Muhammad & Mumtaz Raffi. The book mentions challenges faced by a mother-in-law, and how to overcome them with wisdom, dignity and grace. It enumerates different strategies on building a successful, healthy, and positive relationship with a Daughter-in-law.
The book very beautifully portrays the journey of a mother to a mother-in-law. Being a MIL herself, the author Umm Muhammad very courageously points out the common but very important reasons why a MIL has a change of heart, which affects the whole dynamics of a family.
She emphasizes to set right one’s priorities before starting this relationship. She points out different vices that are responsible for creating cracks in an otherwise beautiful bond.
The book is divided into the following Chapters:
Each chapter begins with a Quranic verse relevant to its title and content.
The book consists of practical, action based steps, and elaborates on how to:
The importance of patience, gratitude, istighfar, dua and adhkar are also emphasized. The book explains in detail how to strengthen ourselves physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Although the book is written for a mother-in-law, it is equally beneficial for a daughter-in-law, as well as every member of a household, be it a father, son, daughter, etc.
What’s even more interesting is that the tips and techniques shared in this book are applicable for anyone going through issues in relationships or trials in life, teaching how to deal with them, and develop into a well balanced human being.
Chapter 9 of the book talks of a very important phase of a woman’s life which is overlooked almost always when considering her behavior, emotions and struggles. I was glad to see it addressed.
The book is written very beautifully – full of positive vibes without any bitterness or blame-game. It is packed full of beneficial knowledge supported by references from the Quran and Hadith......
This book is a must read and I highly recommend it for everyone. I think this is the only book that addresses this topic in such a positive manner....
