 Sayyid al Zaynab is known as Alima Ghayd Mu'allim Fahima Ghayd Mufahim What do these mean? What are they trying to indicate and describe about Sayyid al Zaynab? These are the famous words of Imam Zayn al A'bideen, alayhi salam Imam Zayn al A'bideen in his praise of Sayyid al Zaynab, his auntie said in the famous lines Imam Zaynab, Anti, Alima Ghayd Mu'allim Fahima Ghayd Mufahim My auntie Zaynab, you are learned without having been taught and a scholar without requiring explanation These are very deep lines from Imam Zayn al A'bideen, alayhi salam I personally believe the greatest accolade ever given to Sayyid al Zaynab, alayhi salam These lines from Imam Zayn al A'bideen, alayhi salam That my auntie Zaynab, you are learned without having been taught Someone asked the question, how can someone be learned without having been taught And the scholars have all tried in their own way to try and understand what is the meaning of these words from Imam Zayn al A'bideen, alayhi salam What is the Imam intent on saying? We know that even the imams of Ahlul Bayt, alayhi salam There were certain things that imams learned from the previous imam There are other things that imams acquired from inspiration from Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala You see, you have two forms of knowledge Maybe there's other forms which we can discuss on another occasion But there are two forms of knowledge when it comes to the imams of Ahlul Bayt, alayhi salam One form of knowledge is what? Acquiring Acquiring, let's say Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, alayhi salam Says to Imam Al-Hasan, the heart of a youth is like an uncultivated piece of land Whatever I throw on it, whatever you throw on it, it accepts Therefore, I try to make sure that I mold your heart before it hardened So you learned from my example and applied them into your life Imam Ali, alayhi salam Would give many lessons, would give many examples, would give many pieces of wisdom to Imam Al-Hasan, alayhi salam Imam Al-Hasan, alayhi salam, would also give towards Imam Al-Hussain We talk of this type of knowledge as Qasb This type of knowledge, an imam inherits from another imam And that one imam passes it on to the other Then there is a second form of knowledge And that is when you receive inspiration from Allah SWT Because the amount of obedience you have shown Allah, Allah SWT Becomes what? Becomes the voice by which you speak
