 فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا بدا لا وياله من شراف عظيم الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وشدوء لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول لحق وهو يهد سبيل وشدوء أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد وإن نشرح of the كتاب الفرائد البهية في نظر القواعد الفقية إن شاء الله تعالى today we're going to take the biography of the author of this book what we're also going to do be إذن الله الكريم is we're also going to be speaking about this book that we're studying the book itself what is it about or the structure of the book we've already spoken about what the book is about which is القواعد الفقية we've already dealt with that but what we're going to be speaking about is the man-hedge and the methodology of the author in this book الفرائد البهية في نظم قواعد الفقية the third thing that we're also going to be doing is starting the book بإذن الله الكريم and taking the first part or the first مقدمة of the book إن شاء الله تعالى I'm going to now start with the biography of the author رحمه الله تعالى this book this kitab that we're studying الفرائد البهية في نظم قواعد الفقية is written by الشيخ أبو بكر ابن أبي القاسم ابن أحمد ابن محمد الأهدل his name is أبو بكر ابن أبي القاسم ابن أحمد ابن محمد الأهدل and he's lineage أبو بكر الأهدل he's lineage he finishes at الحسين ابن علي ابن أبي الطالب رضي الله تعالى عنهما his lineage ينتين سبه his lineage finishes at الحسين ابن علي ابن أبي الطالب رضي الله تعالى عنهما may Allah be pleased with حسين and may Allah also be pleased with علي ابن أبي الطالب أبو بكر ابن أبي القاسم الأهدل رحمه الله at his time in which he lived he was said that he was there was no one like him he surpassed in Islamic sciences he surpassed his peers the people of his time and he was of high caliber and level وعلى جانب العظيم من الورع والعبادة he was an aesthetic he was one who worshipped excessively and highly he was an individual known for his knowledge and his time and his time was filled up with worshipping الله سبحانه وتعالى remembering him سبحانه وتعالى he was an individual he was known for spreading knowledge نشهر العلم to spread and to educate the people and to benefit from his time with coming out with righteous actions وتوزيع الوقت على الأعمال الصالحة he categorized and he divided his time to do acts of worship such as التدريس to educate and to teach the people he had time to give fatwa and other than that it was said the signs of nobility and the sign of passion for knowledge it could be seen in him at a very young age it was apparent on him and it was on his limbs and his face the passion and love that he had for knowledge and for that his mom is like a cow or a cow he is mom like a cow who is very well known as his name is أحمد ابن عمر الأهدل أحمد ابن عمر الأهدل who was the who was the uncle of his mom he would refer to أبو بكر he would refer to him as بالفقيه العالم as a young kid a very young kid he would say to him the فقيه العالم at a very young age the author الشيخ أبي بكر بياب القاسم الأهدل the author of this book that we are studying he already spoke about his life he spoke about himself and he has written a book about his own biography so we have his autobiography which is known as نفحة الهندل in which he speaks about in which he speaks about his himself he mentions that he was born he was born 984 984 approximately and he was born in the the province of حديدة رحمه الله but when the year was 988 which is 4 years after his birth in the month of دلحجة his father took him to a village known as سلامة and at that age he says about himself فتعلمت بها القرآن I learned the Quran and he said I also memorized it the age 4 and 5 he had memorized the book of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and he says ولم أكملت when I had finished the memorization of the Quran أمرني الوالد my father commanded me بتعليمي to teach my brothers my father told me to teach my brothers and sisters and he says I became busy بتعليمي him by teaching them and he used to teach them now this shows us my beloved brothers and sisters that the first step that a student of knowledge or a young kid should take or learning the religion is to memorize the book of Allah that is the first thing a person should take and the Quran the place where it resides and the place where it lives is not in papers and it is not inside books that is not the original place of the Quran the Quran's original place is the heart and that's where it resides and that's where it should be and that is why Allah SWT told our Prophet when Jibril came to him لاتحرك به لسانك لتاع جلبه do not move your tongue in trying to hasten to memorize the Quran don't do that إن علينا جمع هو قرآن it is upon us to compile the Quran in your heart so in other words when this Quran came from it came to Jibril he did not write it anywhere Jibril read it onto our Prophet and our Prophet read it onto his companions and his companions read it so it was passed on like that that is why Allah says in the Quran he is saying that the Quran is where the قلب the heart in another place Allah says the Quran it is the thing that is compiled and it is placed in the hearts of the people of knowledge so that the individual realizes that if he wants to seek knowledge and he wants to learn the religion of Allah it is necessary that you memorize the book of Allah because because my beloved brothers and sisters anyone who seeks the Quran then for sure he is going to seek anything other than it if you haven't taken time out to memorize the book of Allah the Quran and you haven't given importance to it then definitely you will not give importance to anything other than it why because the status of the Quran is higher than the status of any individual speech any person who ever speaks his speech is insignificant in comparison to the speech of Allah and the علمات they say the honor of a knowledge is connected to the honor of who is it talking about and what is it dealing with the honor of the Quran is greater than anything the reason why is because this is the speech and the كلام of Allah and the same way Allah is higher than his creation so is his speech higher than the speech of the creation speech so for you to memorize the Quran should be given presence over everything else when you read the Tarajum and the Tarjama and the علمات and the people of knowledge you will always see حفظ القرآن and he memorized the Quran it is just recently become a kind of lifestyle or a person becomes a student of knowledge without him memorizing the Quran it's become the norm so it is important that a person does that so أهدر رحمه الله maybe memorize the Quran and also the other thing that we take from the life of this great noble Imam or this great man of knowledge is that when he memorized the Quran he also was teaching it and this is one of the ways to keep knowledge that you pass it on and that you educate your community you bring it back to the community again it is one of the ways to make sure you don't lose your knowledge that is one of the ways to keep it just as implementing it is the same when you implement a knowledge it will also stay with you it will remain with you then he goes on to say in وَأَلْهَمْتُواْ I made or the thought came to my heart and I desired I wanted to to write the stories that took place any story that I saw he said I wrote them any book story he said I would rewrite them and the Qasidas poetry and things like that he said I will rewrite them what was the intent for him to do that حتى استقام خطي so I had a good handwriting so my handwriting became good which is what brothers are doing the child is to memorize and is to read and write the people, my beloved brothers and sisters they kind of belittled the science of writing خط is one of the fields of the Arabic language it's from the 12 subjects you know the 12 sciences of the Arabic language one of it is الخط قواعد والإملاع dictation and how to write a lot of people they don't go and they don't learn how to write they know it the writing skills are terrible and it's a science as نحو is a science and صرف is a science and بلاغة is three times قواعد والإملاع is one of those as well just like خطابة speech and eloquency is a science in the Arabic language you study it قواعد والإملاع is also one of those subjects that you study so I studied it you copy and write ولي داليكة some scholars they just learn and they study the رصم والمصحر هذا القرآن is written in the مصحر and how it's written like that you memorize it ولايكة some of the حفاظ they say don't if you're half of them you memorize the قرآن still don't stop looking at the مصحر because you're going to keep the رصم the way to written with you as it's important to memorize it's also good to memorize the رصم of the مصحر ولي داليكة back at the time of this Salaf the حفظ was with حفظ of the رصم the way it's written they can rewrite the مصحر again then he said my father then sent me to the city the place of Zabid I went to the place called Zabid للطلب العلم to gain knowledge now what's amazing is that memorizing the قرآن he didn't add it to the seeking knowledge that's something you need to do regardless that's something you should have prior to seeking knowledge so he now says then I embarked on gaining knowledge and then he goes وطالبي في الفق the first thing that I went after to gain knowledge in is الفق and from the hand of who محمد ملعبس so the first thing he learned was what الفق and the second one was he said وفي النحو and he said I embarked on grammar from his sheikh محمد من يحيا so he's the شافعي المدهب the author of this book the thick that he learned was فق الشافعي لأن يمن from the countries who take on the شافعي المدهب and then he goes on to saying ثم إن الوالد أرادة تزويجي then my father wanted to marry me off then my father wanted to marry me off my father he wanted to marry me off he wanted to marry me off and then he says this became an obstacle for me marriage became an obstacle for me why because he said I tasted the sweetness of knowledge but when I got married فلما تزوج تشتغل خاطري when I got married my mind it got occupied with what? the rights and responsibilities of the wife ومرعاة حقوقها and to observe her rights and what she deserves from me that are obligatory so he said this became a problem for me he said to the extent نحو ست سنين and six years of my life six years I got busy with my wife and her responsibilities and the things that I had to do for her pay attention what did he busy him from knowledge but look what he said في هذه المدة at this particular period of time لم أترك التحصيل والتعليق والمطالع I was still reading I stopped learning I was doing تحليقات and some points and benefits I was doing my little explanations of books here and there ومداكرة ومداكرة and revision with what من ألقاه من الطلبة any student I can meet come let's revise discussions about topics he said I would do that and he said why would he do that for اللي ما تمكن في قلبي من محبت العين the reason why even though I was busy with my wife and her responsibilities but because I had passion and love for knowledge and I really loved علم I could still not stop fully except writing and reading and benefits I never left that and revising with students of knowledge I was doing this and this my beloved brothers show us something and that is the person succeeds when it comes to knowledge if he has passion and love for it the thing that sparks from love is what does not stop from you it's addiction it's your love you can't stop even if you wanted to you can't make yourself stop it it's become like that for you a person who wants to gain knowledge has to be like that he has to love it if he's not in love of it if he's not in love of it then he doesn't gain he doesn't reach far with it he doesn't what? he doesn't go far with it so look at even though there are responsibilities on his shoulders regarding his wife and the worldly affairs are preoccupying his mind but because that love is sparking from his heart he could not stop but want to read and write look what he then said تم أخذت بناسية ثم I grabbed myself the nasia is the front of your hair the tip beginning meaning I got hold of my affairs because the nasia is the beginning of your in other words I got hold of my affairs I grabbed my affairs again put it back into my own hands in what to renew my initiative in going to gain knowledge and he said this was something Allah he brought it out of me I made my mind up and then he goes on to mentioning who he read on he read on his teacher and then he said I went to Zabid and I read on him and then others many ulama over 30 of them he went and he read on each and every one of them subjects this and that and all of it the author has so many books so many books that he has written he has a نظم التحريد he has a نظم in ورقات he has a نظم in نخبة الفقر he has a نظم in other fields of the religion he is very well known for his نظم one of the books that he has written is called التعليق المضبوط في ذا لوضو كالغسلي من الشوروط something like that he was an individual known for his poetry he is an individual who Allah opened for him the ability to poetry this is something Allah gave him one of the poetry that he said there are many but I think this one is very beneficial that I mention it because of the beauty and the relevance of this time for us he goes in this poetry وَتَبْغِي مِنْ مَلِيْكِ الْكُونِ تَكْمِيلًا دَاوِمْ عَلَى الْعِلْمِ وَالْفِعْلِ الْجَمِيلِ تَنَلْ ذِكْرًا جَمِيلًا وَتَكْمِيلًا وَتَوْصِيلًا he said if you are looking for in this world and in the hereafter, virtue you are looking for virtue in this world and in the hereafter وَتَغِي and you are also looking for مِنْ مَلِيْكِ الْكُونِ the Lord of this universe and you are looking for تَكْمِيلًا to be a complete person a person who doesn't have no deficiency if you are looking for that so you are looking for virtue in this world and in the hereafter you are also looking to be a person who is complete, who doesn't have no deficiency دَاوِمْ عَلَى الْعِلْمِ be consistent on knowledge and be one who sticks to gaining knowledge and stop just keep going من المحبرة إلى المقبرة وَتَكْمِيلًا دَاوِمْ عَلَى الْعِلْمِ وَالْفِعْلِ الْجَمِيلِ and actions which are good be consistent in that تَنَلْ you will gain what will you gain دِكْرًا جَمِيلًا وَتَكْمِيلًا وَتَوْسِيلًا you are going to gain what you are going to gain good remembrance after you die وَتَكْمِيلًا and you are going to reach completeness you are going to be a complete person and you are going to have a strong bond with Allah فَتْلُبْهُ gain and seek knowledge على تحسيني أبداً for as long as you ever live do that وَقُمْ and stand up be techleafy authoring in knowledge writing in knowledge إن حُزت تأهيلًا إن حُزت تأهيلًا إن حُزت تأهيلًا if you think and you see in yourself that you have the instruments with you that you are an entitled author you have the knowledge and you have the grounds and you have the bases then write وَأَنْفِقِ الْقِمْرَى في تحقيق حاصله إن making sure that you are seeking it correctly وَأَمُرْ بِهِ الدَّهْرًا and fill up your time تدويمًا وتحصيلًا in authoring and writing and also in gaining knowledge so he was a person who was like that these lines of poetry and what he is advising you is what he was from the books that he is written is this book that we have right now which is and he called it this name he himself called it this name he died in the middle of a Sunday he died في منتصف نهاري الأحد the middle middle of a Sunday the third جباد الآخر of جباد الآخر the year was سنة خمس وثلاثين وألف one thousand and thirty-five so he was fifty-one years of age he was only fifty-one years of age very young very young the name الأهدل what does it mean the name الأهدل the way it is read is بفتح الهمزة وسقون الهائي وفتح المهملة this is that dub and that writing is what Al-Yafil he mentions in his كتاب شرح المحسن that's how it's read it الأهدل what does it mean it means الأدن الأقرب it's the أهدل something that's close something that's close to you but actually you call the Arabs they say هدل الغصنوء إذا دنا وقرب ولان بثمرته when the tree the branches they go down are you with me and the fruits are very close to the ground the Arabs they say that the branches has become close so they use the word the word الأهدل the reason why they use it for the شيخ رحمه الله was because he was he was a very humility you see a very humble and humility was with the شيخ رحمه الله humility comes with the idea of going down and the person with his head the arrogance has that kind of like chest is out, nose is up whereas توادر tends to have the the opposite to that also some scholars they say الأهدل means sorry what أهدل was used for him is because because this man has brought the people closer to Allah and he has this is why this name was in the family or he was known as الأهدل brothers that is the biography of the author of this book that we are studying right now that is this biography إن شاء الله now we are going to take a bit about the book we are going to be taking a bit about the book that we are studying this book that we are studying as I said is called الفرائد البهية في القواعد الفقية في القواعد الفقية this particular book is one of the books that are written in to serve it is written to serve the science of what الفق so in other words when you are studying this book الفرائد البهية في قواعد في نظم قواعد الفقية you are going to come out with an ability to be solid and to be strong in فق in other words you are going to have what is known as what ملك الفقية so I need to mention this point it is very important if you want my brothers if you want to have ملك الفقية ملك الفقية means what ملك is something that is that the person has become rooted in something solidified if you want to have that ability in فق and you want to be very strong and very tough and solidified there are 4 things that you have to have and إن شاء الله تعالى this topic of ملك الفقية كيفية their way to become a strong person of فق إن شاء الله تعالى but the first thing is that the person studies a book a book it is known as متول الفقية you know the books life for example the humble person would study the كتاب الزاد the كتاب الزاد المستقنع ملك الفقية ستري لكتاب المختصر الخليل أي وضمين أنا شافع ستري لكتاب كتاب بايمام النوى بايمام النوى رحم الله تعالى
