 وأقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزاله وأقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأواله الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشد الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعاله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى today we are going to start the explanation of the كتاب أخلاق حملة القرآن هذا كتاب هو كتاب نعتقد أنه سيكون جيدا ويكون جيدا لكتابه في هذا المنزل رمضان لأن الهدف بين القرآن ورمضان سيكون جيدا هذا هو المنزل في which the Qur'an came down as Allah سبحانه وتعالى said شهر رمضان الذي أنزل فيه القرآن هدى للناس وبيناتي من الهدى والفرقان الله سبحانه وتعالى يخبرنا بأن القرآن سيكون جيدا في المنزل رمضان والبنزل بين القرآن والمنزل رمضان سيكون جيدا ويكون جيدا في المنزل رمضان سلف الصالح those who were instructed to follow their way they used to revive the recitation of the Qur'an the studying of the Qur'an in this month of Ramadhan ولي ذلك it was mentioned that that when Ramadhan enters he would stop all of his other classes and he would teach the Qur'an so what we said to ourselves is إِلَّمْ تَكُونُوا مِثْلَهُمْ فَا تَشَبَّهُ إِنَّا تَشَبُّهُ بِالْكِرَامِ فَلَاحُواْ if you are not they or if you are not them and if you are not the son of yourself and you are not these imams and we aren't without a doubt then imitate them copy them for verily copy the pious predecessors itself is a virtue copy the righteous people itself is a virtue so we want to follow them in this practice of studying the Qur'an and that which is related to it the Kitab that we have chosen insha'Allah تعالى to cover is اخلاقوا حملة القرآن this Kitab insha'Allah تعالى before I start going through it I want to go through two introductions insha'Allah تعالى two introductions the first introduction I want to speak about the author of the book and who is he because a person cannot value a book and honour it and place this book in its right status in its right status and its position if he doesn't understand the author of the book and who he is ولذلك at the scholars they say شرف الكلامي the honour of a speech is in accordance to the honour of the person who said it the Qur'an is the best of speech because it is the speech of Allah SWT and any book that is authored by a scholar the value of that book goes up in accordance to the value of the scholar and the greatness of that scholar so if you don't know the author of the book you may not honour the book also the second introduction I want to cover insha'Allah is what does this book talk about and what is its relationship with the Qur'an and how does it benefit someone to listen to this explanation of this book how does it benefit them that's the second introduction بإذن الله الكريم so let me start with the first introduction and that is the author of this book the way I hope to speak about the author of the book is by 5 ways I'm going to speak about the author of this book and who he is and a bit about him in 5 different perspectives from 5 different ways once I cover those 5 points you will insha'Allah have a good understanding who the author of this book is and they were going to swiftly move on to the second introduction which is a bit about the book and a historical context to the book and then the third insha'Allah episode will be the book itself the book itself we will go straight away بإذن الله الكريم without any further ado insha'Allah I want to start by the introduction of the author and who he is the first point that I want to speak about is the name of the author and if he has a nickname as well the author رحمه الله his name and his nickname or his كنية his كنية is أبو بكر so his كنية is أبو بكر كنية means if you are named after a child whether you have a child or not if you are named the father of so and so or the mother of so and so our mother عايشة رضي الله تعالى عنها she was called أم عبد الله she was called the mother of Abdullah we know our mother عايشة never had a child called عبد الله she was named after her sister's son اسماء بنت أبي بكر her son called عبد الله يموز زبير because اسماء بنت أبي بكر was married to زبير مع عوام and so our mother عايشة رضي الله تعالى عنها is mentioned that she was named after that that boy عبد الله يموز زبير so sometimes a person can be given a كنية أبو with this when they are not even married yet and they have no children على كل حاله كنية is أبو بكر and his name is محمد ابن الحسين ابن عبد الله الأجرية البغدادية so his kunya is أبو بكر his kunya is أبو بكر and his name is محمد ابن الحسين ابن عبد الله محمد ابن الحسين ابن عبد الله الأجرية so he is called الأجرية what does the word الأجرية mean أجرية means برك it means a brick ولي ذلك أهل الشام the people of sham they call أجر the word أجرية they use another name for it and they call it أطوب whereas the people of Egypt they call it القرميد all means the same which is برك ولي ذلك ترفض الحكامي رحمة الله in his عقيدة بك he mentions سلم الوصول إلى علم الوصول he mentions that the term الأجر he uses it and he says فنظر إليهم قد غلو وزادو ورفعو بناءها وشادو بشيدي while الأجر رئ والأحجار لاسى ما في هذه العصار so he uses the word الأجر رئ حفظ الحكميو يستخدمونه. في المستقل of those people who used these bricks and they used this cement to build the graves when we were commanded to not build graves. حفظ الحكميو was talking it from that perspective but what I want from the poetry of الحفظ الحكميو is that he uses the word بشيد والأحجاري لسيما في هذه العصار. he used the word so the word means brick in English. that's what his name was. so now we know the author's name that's point number one that I wanted all of you to know. we know his Kunya. we know his nickname. جريو was the nickname he had. and we also even know his actual name. he's called محمد ابن الحسين ابن عبدالله. the second point that I want to insha'Allah تعالى cover regarding the author is his upbringing and when and where he died. so I want to speak about his upbringing and also his death where he died and when he died. الامام العجريو this great Imam he was in Baghdad and he was born in Baghdad. he grew up in Baghdad and he spent the the first 50 years of his life. الامام العجريو the first 50 years of his life he spent it in Baghdad. he didn't go outside Baghdad. he studied. he learned from the شيوخ of Baghdad for the first 50 years of his life. and the reason why he stayed in Baghdad and sought knowledge in Baghdad and he didn't leave for the first 50 years is because as the historians and the Rulama mentioned like خطيب البغدادي ونسكتاب تاريخ بغداد. also ابن خلكان ونسكتاب ووفايات العيان. also الامام العجريو ونسكتاب تذكيرات الحفاظ and also الامام ابن عماد ونسكتاب شذور ذهب. that كان علماء بغداد إذا كهوا بدوليا. that the scholars of Baghdad at that time were the people that people traveled to. and the scholars of Baghdad people traveled the world to come to them. the knowledge was in Baghdad. بغداد was موتر الخلافة. the Khilafa was in Baghdad. and so it passed everywhere in knowledge. it passed everywhere even in worldly progression as well. the level Baghdad reached nowhere else reached at that time. so he studied from the scholars of Baghdad and this was في مطلع القرن الرابع الهجري the fourth century because الامام العجري ورحمة الله الامام العجري ورحمة الله he was born when the year was 280 هجرية اقصاماً 280 هجرية اقصاماً and he remained in Baghdad until 330 هجرية. so that is 50 years. he used to study or he studied in Baghdad. he sought knowledge from Baghdad. he remained in Baghdad for those 50 years and when the year was 330 هجرية he went to Hajd that year and he went to Makkah and when he went to Makkah اعجبته. Makkah fascinated الامام العجري ورحمة الله. he was fascinated with what he sought in Makkah. فأقام فيها and he remained there for the 30 years remaining for his life. he remained there رحمه الله حتى توفاه الله فيها until Allah took his life and he died when it was the month محرم شهر محرم شهر الله المحرم when the year was 360 هجرية. so he stayed in Makkah for 30 years. 50 years in Baghdad and 30 years in Makkah. so that means he lived for 80 years رحمه الله تعالى. we've done the second part of the life of the author رحمه الله which is his upbringing and when he died and where he died. now i want to go into the third part of the author's life which is شيوخه his teachers that he took knowledge from and i also want to mention his students that took knowledge from him. i want to speak about his teachers and i also want to speak about his students that took knowledge uh from him. he has a kitab called الشريعة and i'm going to be speaking about his books إن شاء الله تعالى it is one of the points that i'm going to talk about. in there he narrated from الإمام الأجرية وإنه كتابه كتاب الشريعة he narrated from more than 70 شيوخ 70 teachers more than 70 إنه بك just that one book كتاب الشريعة and if you go to his kitab that we're going to study إن شاء الله تعالى this kitab أخلاق وحملة القرآن this kitab that we're going to study إن شاء الله تعالى he has narrated from أربعة وعشرين شيوخ 24 شيوخ and those 24 are the same as those which he narrated from الكتاب الشريعة يعني there is 24 not extra to what is in كتاب الشريعة he also wrote a book called ثمانونا حديثا عن ثمانونا شيخا he has written a kitab which he called it 80 شيوخ 80 teachers of his 80 حديث 80 حديث from 80 different شيوخ ألا أ Haven't seen a kitab yet I don't know whether it's مطبو or مخطوط whether it's been published or not I don't know but what I do know is that بدر ابن عبد الله البدر إن مقدمة of the تحقيق of his kitab الأربعونا حديثا يزا كتاب قل فوتي حديث and الامام الأجل ريو proceed in نووي in writing فوتي حديث لذلك الإمام النووي يو mentions that in his مقدمة of his 40 حديث and that he himself took it from الامام الأجل ريو the idea of collecting 40 حديث which then became something very famous scholars did it after that in large quantity الامام الأجل ريو has a kitab فوتي حديث the muhaqq of that kitab is بدر ابن عبد الله البدر and he mentions in the مقدمة of the kitab الأربعونا حديثا he mentions that the شيوخ the teachers of الامام الأجل ريو are 79 so it's close to the 80 that he mentioned in his book الامام الأجل ريو الامام الأجل ريو الامام الأجل ريو the 80 teachers 80 حديث from them the muhaqq of the kitab الامام الأجل ريو الامام الأجل ريو and he's close to it 79 these really teachers are something very powerful we learned something very great from this which is how these scholars will take knowledge from many many many people and how they will dedicate their lives in meeting great scholars of their time taking knowledge from them and not sufficing with one or two شيوخs let alone never going to a sheikh never taking from a sheikh and just buying many books and reading them and thinking you're a scholar or googling up things reading wikipedia and etc these scholars they رحمهم الله they took the knowledge from teachers who they their teachers took from teachers who took from teachers who took from teachers and that's how they saw knowledge until the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and so their chain goes back to the prophet and nowadays وليل أسف الشديد we see people who think to themselves that seeking knowledge is watching a few videos here or there also buying a few books here or there and reading articles here or there and then you're a mufti or a laama you're an imam everybody should come back to you and see you as a reference point that's all we can say right now إن شاء الله تعالى I'm going to mention some of the teachers of an imam al adjuli I'm going to go through the most prominent the most famous ones of them إن شاء الله تعالى the first one إن شاء الله تعالى is الحافظ الإمام الحافظ شيخ بغداد أبو بكر عبدالله بن الإمام أبي داود الإمام أبي داود هي صند عبدالله من الإمام أبي داود سليماني بن الأشعة السجيستاني الإمام أبي داود the author of this Sunan his son his son was the teacher of الإمام أبي داود and his son إبن أبي داود has written many books he has a عقيدة بقود الحائية and he also has a كتاب قود المصاحف and many other works his teacher الإمام أبي داود his teacher is the son of الإمام أبي داود عبدالله من الإمام أبي داود أبي بكر عبدالله إبن الإمام أبي داود from his teachers is the محديث of الإراق محمد بن محمد إبن السليمان أبي بكر الباغادي الواصطي he is from his teachers that he took from from his teachers is الإمام الحافظ العبجة المعمر مسند العصر عبدالله إبن محمد إبن عبدالعزيز أب القاتمة الباغاوي رحمه الله الإمام الباغاوي was from the الشيوخ of الإمام الأجرير رحمه الله the fourth الشيخ of الإمام الأجرير is الإمام المحديث القدوة الشيخ الإسلام أحمد إبن محمد إبن زياد أبو السعيد إبن الأعرابي البحصرية and إبن الأعرابي is one of the الروات of the Sunan of الإمام أبي داود one of the narrators who narrated the Sunan from الإمام أبي داود is إبن الأعرابي so it's one of the الرويات that we have from Sunan أبي داود is the الرويات of إبن الأعرابي إبن الأعرابي is the الشيخ of الإمام الأجرير رحمه الله so he took from him when he was in Makkah لأن الإمام الأعرابي is نزيل Makkah وشيخ الحرام he was a resident in Makkah and the الشيوخ of Makkah the fifth is الإمام الحافض العلم الشيخ الإسلام عبد الله إبن محمد إبن الزياد أبو بكر النسى بوري these are the الشيوخs that are well known from the الشيوخ of الإمام الأجرير رحمه الله and as I said his الشيوخs have actually reaped up to 70 80 79 80 شيوخ he has that he has taken from but these are some of these شيوخs as for his students that took from him في كثيرون they are too many in Namba ولا علهم لا يقلون عن عدد الشيوخه and maybe they are not even less than his his teachers maybe the students that he has are probably even 80 plus students they are probably 80 plus students or even more than that because he stayed in Baghdad for 50 years let's say the first 30 years he was studying and he was gaining knowledge the last 20 years he was narrating and he was teaching and he was educating so his students are large in number as well from the famous students that he has is أبو نعيم الأصبهاني the author of the كتاب حلية الأولياء والطبقات الأصفية is from the students of who and إمام الأجوريو أبو نعيم الأصبهاني his name is أحمد من عبدالله ابن أمح أحمد is the students of الإمام الأجوريو from the students of الإمام الأجوريو is الإمام الفقيه القدوة العابد عبيد الله ابن محمد ابني بطه أبو عبدالله العكبري ابن بطه the author of the كتاب الإبارة is the students of الإمام الأجوريو رحمه الله and the third one that I want to mention is الإمام المحدث المقر بغدات he is the مقر of بغدات so الإمام المحدث مقر بغدات علي ابن أحمد ابن ابني عمر أبو الحسن المقر الحمامي الحمامي إزراوي هذا هذا الكتاب he is the narrator who narrated this كتاب from الإمام الأجوريو this كتاب that we going to study أخلاق حملة القرآن the narrator who narrated it from الإمام الأجوريو is الحمامي and also أضى كتاب أخلاق العلم أخلاق العلم that الإمام الأجوريو read the narrator of that كتاب is also الحمامي rather when you look at the نصخ المخطوض the manuscripts of this كتاب that we going to be doing إنشاء الله وتعاله أخلاق حملت القرآن and the أضى كتاب on the علماء that he wrote both of them are generally باب نصخ المخطوطة are generally together يعني they're together both of them because they're from one of his students that narrated it from him now إنشاء الله تعالى we're going to go into the fourth point that I wanted us to know about the author of the كتاب إنشاء الله تعالى and that is his works and the books that he has authored مؤلفاته the author of this كتاب ألمام الأجرير what works does he have and how many books has he written ألمام الأجرير أزال ألمام الخطيب البغدادي وسربهم he said له تصانيف he has works which are كثيرة large in quantity his works are large in number اليافعي he said وصنف في الحديث والفق كثيرا he authored in حديث and he has also written books in فق and they are large in quantity ولي ذلك if you look at the books that are mentioned from ألمام الأجرير you will not find a list which goes through it all at one after the other in the مخطوطات other than what the محققين mentioned but there is no قائمة كاملة في أيد الباحثين which show the مؤلفات of الإمام الأجرير على كل حال شيخ الألباني رحمه الله شيخ محمد ناصر الدين الألباني رحمه الله in the مخطوطات of the كتب الأجرير في داري الكتب الظاهرية شيخ الألباني mentioned that the works of this great إمام are 11 ركيت happen only 11 شيخ الألباني only mentioned 11 works of his we have another أوريانتاليس أطاقش أوريانتاليس his name is called فؤاد ززكين سزكين who died a 124 أوريانتاليس I don't think he's a Muslim على كل حال he mentions that his works are خمسة عشر كتاب he only mentions that they are 15 عبد الله ابنه عبد الرحيم عسيلان in the مقدمة of the كتاب that he did the تحقيق of أخبار عمر ابنه عبد العزيزة الإمام الأجوري ريت he done تحقيق of the كتاب he mentions that the بوكس are سبع وعشرين كتاب 27 الأستاذ عمر غرامة العمروي the ساودي محقق who still في قيد الحياة he has التحقيق of the كتاب تحريم نرد that الإمام الأجوري روت he done تحقيق of that كتاب he mentions that his بوكس are سبعة وثلاثين كتاب that they are 37 كتاب that's how much he mentions but there is a side point that or a point that I wanted you to mention which is there's a كتاب كود ليلة نصخ من شعبان وفضائلها and its virtues that is a tribute to الإمام الأجوري رحمه الله this كتاب was a tribute to الإمام الأجوري rather than تحقيق of this كتاب was done by by عمر عبدالبن عم سليم he did تحقيق of the كتاب and he attributed this بوك to الإمام الأجوري the book can actually be found in دارو كتب المصرية you can go find it the number is 26 and this بوكس is actually not owned or it's not from the works of الإمام الأجوري even though many of the محققين of this the works of الإمام الأجوري they add this to the list the كتاب is actually written by a مؤرخ from them the historians of العراق known as أبي عبدالله المحمد من السعيد at دوبيثي دوبيثي you wrote that كتاب actually if you go to the مخطوطات of these this كتاب you find it attributed once to دوبيثي and sometimes the attributed to الإمام الأجوري and the person who I saw mentioned this or I came across mentioning this is دكتور أحمد إمام the صمال الشيخ دكتور أحمد إمام and I spoke to him about it and he himself verified for me and told me that this is the case that this كتاب is not written by الإمام الأجوري رحمه الله that the كتاب is written by this لموح أرخ العراق مو أرخ العراق با عبدالله يمحمد يمحمد السعيد أدوبيثي with it على كل حال I'm going to mention five of his works there are more than that but I'm just going to mention five prominent ones the first one is the كتاب الشريعة في بيان عقيدها للسنة والجماعة والرد على طوائفها للبداع على على طوائف في أهل البداعي والضال إذا تلمام الإمام الأجوري ريت and it's short for the كتاب كتاب الشريعة با الإمام الأجوري this كتاب is عقيدة بوك and as you can see الإمام الأجوري وهي he doesn't just mention عقيدة أهل السنة in this book what he mentions in this book is عقيدة أهل السنة and he also refutes the statements of the أهل البداعي والضال the people of misguidance and innovation also الإمام الأجوري ريت الندى كتاب called أدب النفوس and he talks about actions of the heart hearts of the new things he has الندى كتاب called أحكام النساء jurisprudence rulings regarding women he also has كتاب called التهجد وفضائل قيام الليل he speaks about التهجد and virtues related to قيام الليل and إن شاء الله والتعالة if الله سبحان والتعالة allows us to live maybe we might go through that إن شاء الله والتعالة for next year رمضان إن شاء الله والتعالة also he's written another كتاب called التوبة where he speaks about repentance now إن شاء الله والتعالة I'm going to speak about the fifth and final point that I want us to know about the أوثر رحمة الله والتعالة is مكانته للغلمية what credentials does this great إمام hold in other words what have the scholars said about him so I want to talk about his credentials وأقوال العلماء فيه I want to speak about his credentials and what he's achieved and the statements the scholars have said about him so the scholars what they say about him is actually going to be a enough for us to know his credentials and his positions ابن نديم said mentioned about him and said about him he said he is الفقه he's a jurist he said أحد الصالح بين العبد he's from the righteous people and from the worshipers of Allah سبحانه و تعالى يعني he was a person who جمع بين العلم والعمل he combined between knowledge and action خطيب البغداد he said about him he's ثقه وكان ثقه he said السدوق and he's also ديناً كان ثقة صدوقاً ديناً I trust where the person reliable individual in his religion and a person of great religion ابن الجوزي he said about him جمع العلم والزهد he combined between knowledge and being an aesthetic individual he also said about him كان ثقه ديناً عالماً مصنفاً he said he's a reliable person great integrity a person of great islamic knowledge and he said he's an author has authored many works ابن خلكان إنه كتاب الوفيات العيان he said about him الفقه الشافعي المحدد الامام الأجريه is a الشافعي إنفق is a محدد وكان صالحاً عابداً and he was a righteous man a worshipper of Allah so he's a الشافعي إنفق but that doesn't mean he blind follows a great امام الامام الشافعي he goes with the truth wherever it is whether it's in the الشافعي مدهب or not but in his base and his foundation وعلى مدهب الامام الشافعي شمس الدين الدهبي الامام الدهبي رحمه الله he said كان صدوقًا خيرًا عابداً صاحبة السنة واتباع he said الامام الأجريه is a trustworthy person he's a great person righteous individual worshipper of Allah and he's also صاحبة السنة a person who holds them to the sunnah واتباع a person who follows the sunnah of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم إبن عماد الحمبلي he said about him المحدد ضابط صاحب التصاني في والسنة he said he's a scholar of hadith he's a trustworthy individual he's a precise person precision is what he has he is also a author has written many works and he said he's also a صاحبة السنة a person who's holding on to the sunnah of the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام so إن شاء الله تعالى those are the five things that I want all of us to know about this great imam الإمام الأجرير رحمه الله الإمام الأجرير is the author of this كتاب that we're going to be studying أخلاق حملة القرآن now that we've taken that first introduction إن شاء الله تعالى in our next episode I'm going to speak about the book itself and what it's about and then we'll start the book إن شاء الله تعالى anything which I have said that was wrong but incorrect is from me الشيطان and Allah and his messenger are free from it سبحانك الله و بحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أستغفروا كوة و بلي
