 وَأَقُولُ فِي القُرْآنِ مَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ آيَاتُوهُ فَهُوَ الْكَارِيمُ الْمُنْزَالُوْ وَأَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُوْهُ وَالْمُصْطَافَ الْهَاديِ وَلَا أَتْ أَوَّالُوْ الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وشد الله إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهدي سبيل وأشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد ونحن في المره ونحن في بيوجرافية ويوم الإمام أبو داود رحمه الله ونحن نتحدث عن سيرة الإمام أبي داود الشخصية speech about his personal life where he was born his upbringing we also spoke about his lineage his children and the fact that he was married We now in the middle of speaking of will be about which was the 2nd point We were speaking about اعطيه مباركة لكن بكم تخة علاقية و that's what we were speaking about yesterday I stopped at speaking of Al-Imam Abi Dawoud Muallaphat the books that he authored and the works that he has put together رحمه الله ألمان ابي داود رحمه الله he wrote many books in the science of hadith علم الرجال فق عقيدة تفسير بعض هذه القرارات لدينا و بعض هذه القرارات لدينا لدينا نرى فإن شاء الله أتعالى سأتفعل القرارات من أمامة بيداود و القرارات التي تطبو عم تدوالة القرارات التي تقرار و التي تحصل و التي ترى و الثاني هي قرارات التي تفقودة التي تفقودة أو as we think will not be found إن شاء الله أتعالى hoping that Allah will bring it to light and it will be seen إن شاء الله أتعالى so those are the two I'm going to divide his works into أمامة بيداود the books that he wrote that are published from them number one is the Sunan this book that we have Sunani أبي داود his Sunan is مطبور متدوال it is published and it's seen and we're going to speak about that in more details إن شاء الله أتعالى and the methodology of the author and matters pertaining to that we'll speak about that in more details إن شاء الله أتعالى the second authorship or the second book that he has authored which is مطبور متدوال is رسالته إلى أهلي مكة أمامة بيداود or a little risala where he describes his book his Sunan he describes it and he speaks about it and the best taba'a for his رسالة إلى أهلي مكة is the taba'a by محمد الصباق رحمه الله that's the best publication and I think if I'm not wrong it is the taba'a that will be used for the Sunan أبي داود استطابع بايت محمد الصباق رحمه الله if you guys can switch this off it makes a lot of noise إن شاء الله أتعالى for that one hour the heat should not be a problem إن شاء الله صح إخوة so the third book that رحمه الله he wrote is المراسيل which is a كتاب مخصص لجميع حاليث المراسيل هي بؤوذ أحاليث which are مرسل is what ما أسنده طابعي إلى رسول الله مرسل is what مرسل is that which a taba'a attributes to the prophet all of the حاليث which are مرسل الامامة بداود رحمه الله and what's good about it is رتبه على أبواب الفقية the way he organized it is in a fiqh chapterings that's the way he did it and he brings all of the chapters under it all the حاليث which are مراسيل and so it's a good book and the number of حاليث that he bought in there is 537 حاليث 537 حاليث in total is what he had bought the best taba'a out there is the taba'a by Dr.Abdillahibnou مساعد الزهراني ورحمه الله that's the best taba'a that is published right now and if we take a mirror and many people published it but this is the best the fourth one is الامامة بداود wrote a called مسائل الإمامة أحمد and this book is in the chapter of fiqh it's in the chapter of what it's in fiqh and the book again is organized and it's placed according to what in chapters of fiqh the way he put it together and the تحقيق that's out there is the تحقيق of محمد رضا and then many times after that he got published the fifth one is سعالاتي أبي داود الإمامة أحمد في الرجال this book is سعالاتي أبي داود أبي داود asking questions to الإمامة أحمد and he's asking him about men and narrators and individuals and then إمامة أحمد gives him a response and he writes it down and this is being published by the طابع which is the best right now is the طابع of زياد محمد المنصور his طابع is the best so it's published and it's out there number six is الرواتو من الإخوة والأخوات narrators who are brothers and sisters that's well spoken about in مصطلح الحديث he has a kitab in this and it's written and I don't know which publication is the best but I know باسم الجواب رح أحفظ الله who's high I know he has a تحقيق on the kitab and that's the one I have سعالاتي أبي عبيده is another kitab that he wrote which is always written which is سعالات أبي داود أبي عبيده الأجرر we're going to speak about him later أبي عبيد الأجرر you're asking questions to who أبي داود and إمام أبي داود is responding to it and it's been published many times and the publication I have is the تحقيق of محمد عالي العمراني which is published also جامع إسلامية مدينة المنورة the university of مدينة they've also published they published it the 8th book is أزهد a book in aesthetic a statism الإمام أبي داود رحمه الله is called أزهد and the تحقيق that's out there is أضياء الحسن السلف رحمه الله he also he done the the تحقيق of the kitab and then another تحقيق came out and many but I have the first one all of those books that I mentioned are books which are مطبع الإمام أبي داود wrote these books and they are published or it's books like سوالات أبي عبيدة الأجرر is a question that he's been asked to إمام أبي داود but إمام أبي داود didn't write it of course but it's questions that have been asked to him so it's a book that's going to be attributed to to him because it's the knowledge of now we're going to go into the books which are lost that we don't have they are كتب which are المفقودة books that he wrote but we don't have them it got lost the first one is الإمام أبي داود has a kitab and it was narrated by him by أبو بكر نجاد is the one who narrated it from him this kitab it's actually it's actually مفقود there's no way to find it إبن الخير الإشبيلي فيهرسة he mentions that the name is ناسخ القرآن ومنسوخه ناسخ القرآن ومنسوخ القرآن the verses which are abrogated and the verses that are abrogating and إمام أبي داود wrote of it the second book that he wrote is a kitab it's called refutation on the people of qadr الإمام أبي داود wrote this kitab it's مفقود which some scholars they call it رد على أهل الأهواء والقدر the refutation of the people of desires and the people of qadr many scholars have transmitted from it ولي ذلك أبل حجاج المزي ورحمه الله he brings some روايات from there and he does with the رموز meaning the أبل حجاج المزي تحفت الأشرف or he's تهديب تهديب الكمال when he does it sometimes when he transmits from books he doesn't mention the name the person's full name he would use symbols okay of that book it's a rams that he would use so he transmits from that book sometimes and the rams that he uses is قد من قدرية شقف قدرية he just use قاف and دل so even that we haven't seen it but الإمام أبي الحجاج المزي you step through the book and he narrated from it so anyone who ever transmits something from that كتاب they'll always do it through a واصطة through a means not directly from the كتاب itself because the كتاب itself is what it's مفقود he also ابن البطة in كتاب الإبانة he also transmits from him also from the books that he also published is البعث والنشور the resurrection he wrote a كتاب in that and it's كتاب which is مفقود another كتاب is دلائل النبوة the prophecy nowadays دلائل النبوة is called what معجزات is called معجزة the salaf never used to use that term the word معجزة it's not term that the salaf would use they would use دلائل النبوة دلائل النبوة means the sign of his prophecy whatever is the prophecy it's called دلائل النبوة he wrote a كتاب in this he wrote كتاب called التفرد في ديم and this is what he means what he means by this is as as you mentioned ما تفرد به أهل الأمصاري من السنان he wrote those who went against him and wrote other books what are they alone in that are not in the السنان he wrote a كتاب on that he also has مسند مالك he has a كتاب number six it's called مسند مالك it's a مسند he brings it in there he also has فضائل الأنصار it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's سلسلة وعشر وعاشورة كل one book يتحدث عن ذلك هذا book is مفقود نحن لن يوجد هذا book إنه إذا كتابتوا المناسك والحج الكبير حج وكيف تفعل رجولة حج يخبرون أنه كتابتوا المفقود إنه إذا كتابتوا القضاء الكبير وإنه يتحدث عن القضاء والقدر وإنه يتحدث عن القضاء وإنه يتحكم البقاء وكيف يفعل다는؟ وإنه يتحدث عن القضاء وقد أفعل لنا ذلك الكتاب إمان وقول وعمل إمان واتوان ويصنع كتابه كتاب أعلام النبوة وانا عام الوضع واللغة أنها مفقود الكتاب أعلام النبوة وما أنه كتاب دلائل النبوة يتحدث عن المساعدة العالمية عندما يأتي إلى المدينة المأخي الذي يحدث عنه 15ه يسمى المبتدق يعتقد أنه مبتدق وهذا هو رأس ، لا ، ليس لديه يتحدث عنه من نبي الله موسى حتى الناس من موسى رأيته من المدينة والفرعون ويتحدث عنه المدينة العالمية من نبي الله موسى لنبقى نبي الله محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم ويبدأ ويتحدث عنه هنا نتحدث عن المساعدة العالمية نتحدث عن ماذا؟ انت مجالكلا ونتحدث عن ونتحدث عن ونتحدث عن المساعدة العالمية نتحدث عنها من جميع كتب كوار مطبوع بكسة وكتب كوار مفقودة حسنا نذهب إلى مكاناته العلمية المساعدة العلمية أليماما بيداود كيف كان ذلك؟ أليماما بيداود أليماما بيداود هو one of the most famous scholars في حديث ، والله ربنا here already know who in Imam Abu Dawud is. He is Minal Mubarrazeen. Those who became famous and well known. But what was he known for? He was known for Rewaia Narrations. And he is also known for Rewaia and Diraya. He was well known for the Fiqh of the Hadith and the Chain of the Hadith. He was an Alim not just in the Chain of Narration. And as I said to you before from the six books of Hadith. Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Bin Maja and Nasa'i. The only two who are Mujtahid and Muttalaq was Bukhari and Abu Dawud. They were the only two which were Mujtahid and Muttalaq. Muslim wasn't a Mujtahid and Muttalaq. The Imam of Tirmidhi wasn't. Bin Maja wasn't. And Nasa'i wasn't. They were the followers of a particular Madhab. And that was Madhab and Ahl al-Hadeeth. They used to restrict themselves within the Madhab and Ahl al-Hadeeth. But Imam Abu Dawud and Imam Abu Bukhari. Both of them would look at the textual evidence. And they would extract ruling from it. As Imam Shaykh al-Islam ibn Utaymi mentions in his Majmu'ul Fatawa. Imam Abu Dawud. There were factors that helped him become who he became. That supported him. Number one brothers is He had high aspirations. And Imam Abu Dawud had high aspirations. If a person doesn't want to attain something Then there's no one who can make them attain it. If you don't have the drive within you Then you're never going to reach it. It has to be something from you. It has to be that drive and that desire Burning in you. That makes you go out of your way wanting to learn. He had that. Him, معالية. In seeking knowledge. Also was He benefited From مرحلة الشباب. He benefited from the time he was young. It's very important. Some people they wake up They realize everything at a time when it's what? A time when it's long gone. A time when it's what? When it's long gone and he's missed the opportunity of being a Shab. مالي إذا جدبتها صايته. كيبرا علاني أن بيته. ليت الشباب. وهل ينفع شيء أن ليته. ليت الشباب أنبوع فاشتريته. The poet. He realized late. After he's become old. He can't pick up what he used to pick up when he was young. The free time that he had. All of it is gone. He's not realized it. He says مالي إذا جدبتها صايته. Why is it that when I pull the rope from the well I make noise. I feel the pain. Why is it? What is it that's on me? That's pushing me down. And he goes later. If only. Only but will that benefit him. And then he goes later. ليت الشباب أنبوع فاشتريته. I wish that youth was something that could be bought and sold from the market. I wish it could be. But no, it's not. He realized that he was young. And that he was a شاب. And so he benefited from that opportunity. Also. The fact that supported and helped him was. His. Nefs was very pure. Very pure individual. حلال. He ate حلال. رحمه الله. These are factors that help the person. That if you live with حلال income. الله will open doors for you. سبحانه وتعالى. Also. ألمام أبي داود. That hated of ظهور وحب الشهرة. He didn't like fame or to be known or to be out. He didn't. He really loved to be unknown. These are things that will help. He didn't like الرياء and سمعة. He didn't like الرياء. الرياء is what? People to see him. And a سمعة is that people hear of him. And a سمعة is that. Also. ألمام أبي داود. That was. التفرغ التامل العلم. وتحسيله. He had time that he spent in seeking knowledge. Full time. Where. ألمام أبي داود will do nothing other than seek knowledge. That's what knowledge likes. Knowledge. If you want to attain it. It requires and it wants from you. التفرغ التام. That you free yourself fully from knowledge. It doesn't accept associating partners with it. Knowledge does not like شرك. It likes تحيد. Meaning it likes for you to do it alone. It doesn't want you to associate partners with it. It doesn't like you having a job on this. It doesn't like that. It wants it alone. When you that if you give knowledge everything. It will give you something in return. That's when you give it everything. And you exert everything. It will give you what? It will give you something in return. So this is what he did. Also what he did. رحمة الله is ورحلة لم تنقط إلا بحلول الأجل. رحلة he traveled. This traveling of his did not stop until death came to him. Wherever he had there was knowledge he would go. And also what helped him was. عصر حضاري يسمح لي أمثالي بالتفوق والبروز. He was at a time. And he lived at a time and an era. Where people were all about seeking knowledge. If somebody passed you it was because of knowledge. But we don't live at a time like that today. We live at a time today. That if a person opens a YouTube account. خلاص. He's من عالم العالم. He's مفتي. صحيح. يشارعوا إليه بالبنان. That's it. خلاص. Like in the truth of the matter is at that time. You would not be given the مشيخة. You would not be allowed to teach unless you had what? Unless you had real knowledge. Unless you had comprehension of the Deen. And then you would go forward. Or else you would sit back. This story is going to give us an understanding of مكانة with علمية. The station of Al-Imam Abi Dawood in knowledge. This story is going to tell us it. This story is a story that I touched on it yesterday. But it's mentioned by Al-Imam Al-Khattabiyu in his Kitam Al-Sunan. He says. عن أبي بكر بن جابير خادم أبي داود. أليمام أبي داود as we mentioned yesterday. What do we have? He had a maid. أليمام أبي داود had a maid. So. أليمام الخطابي you said. And a maid was called. أبي بكر بن جابيرن. He said. كنتم معه ببغدات. The slave. The maid he said. I was with. أليمام أبي داود I was with him. In Baghdad. فصلين المغربة. We prayed Salatul Maghrib. We prayed what? Salatul Maghrib. إذا قورع الباب ففتحته. The door got knocked. And then أبي بكر بن جابيرن who was the maid. He stood up and I went to open the door. When I opened the door. It was the leader. The Khalifa came. أليمام أبي داود رحمه الله. He said I went. أليمام أبي داود where is he? So the maid said to him wait. So he went. أليمام أبي داود and he told him. That the Ameer is what? The Ameer is outside waiting. So أليمام أبي داود said to him. And then I went. أليمام أبي داود said to the Ameer. ما جاء الأمير what is it? ما جاء بن أمير في مثل هذه الوقت. What is it that brought the Ameer at this particular time? And then he said. The Ameer responded to أليمام أبي داود. And he said to him خلال ثلاث. Three things. Three reasons and three things are what brought the Ameer. And then he said to him. وما هي أليمام أبي داود. He said what is it? He said number one. تنتقل إلى البصلة. You're going to go to بصلة. فتتخدوها وطنن. And you're going to make it a place of residency. ليرحل إليك طلبة العلم. So the people of knowledge can travel to you. من أقطار الأرضي from all of the lands. فتعمر بك. And through you after Allah. بصلة can now become a place where the population increases. And the people come back to it. They flock back to بصلة. فإنها قد خريبت. بصلة has now become destroyed. And it's become what? The infrastructure and everything has gone. And this was where? This was the land of civilization for the Muslims. All of it has gone. So he wants أليمام أبي داود to go there. And so the students of knowledge are going to flock from all of them. And come to him to seek hadith from him. وانقطع عنها الناس. The people have now boycotted بصلة. لما جرع عليها من محنة زنج. Because of the fitna that happened due to the fitna to the zunj. I'm a zinj some other scholars call it. This fitna has taken place here. أليمام. So what's this fitna? This fitna I'm going to narrate it from The مروج الدهب by Al-Mas'ud. He mentions that the fitna of the fitna to a zunj. I'm going to come to it later. In more details. So أليمام أبي داود. فهاديه واحدة. Okay this is the first request. Meaning I've accepted the first request. To move to بصلة. هاتي ثانية. Give me the second reason why you came to me. He said. ترويلي أولادي كتاب السنان. You're going to narrate to my children your sunan. You're going to give them the chance to hear the sunan from your mouth. فقال نعم. أليمام أبي داود. Okay. هاتي ثالثة. The third thing that you want. He said the third request is. وَتُفْرِدُ لَهُمْ مَجْلِسَنْ لِلْرِيْوَا يَا. You're going to specify for them a sit. A majlis. Only they're going to hear it from you. No one else is allowed to come and participate. Meaning أبي داود. And the leader's children is going to be this gathering. So they can hear it from you uniquely. No one else is going to be there. فإن أولاد الخلافات. Because the children's leader. The leader of the children. لا يقعدون مع العم. They're not going to sit with the general mass. The children. The leaders. The Khalifa's children. They're not going to sit with the general mass. And then أليمام أبي داود. He said. أما هاتي as for the third request. فلا سبيل إليها. There's no way to this one. There's no way to attain it. لأن الناس شريفهم. Because the people. The most honorable from amongst them. ووضيعهم. And the lowest of them. في العلم سواء. They are equally knowledge. There's no one who has superiority. And has the upper hand of anyone. When it comes to knowledge. أبو باكري بن جابير. In the khadim of. أليمام أبي داود. He said. فكانوا بعد ذلك يحضرون. ويقعدون في كمن حريين. From that day onwards. The children of the leader. They used to come. And they used to sit. Because they wanted the sunan. ويضربوا بينهم وبين الناسي سترون. They would sit. And a curtain. Would be placed between them. And the people. فيسمعون مع العمة. And then they would listen with the people. أمير requested from who. أليمام أبي داود. تنتقلوا إلى البصرة. You're going to go to Basra. And you're going to make it a place that you're going to stay. Pay attention. That was the second request, right? The second request was what? I'm at the first request. It was the first. That you're going to go to what? The Basra. And you're going to take that a place of residence. You're going to live there. And the people are going to flock to you. These brothers. As أليمام أبي داود. He mentioned. He said. This is a clear indication. على أن أبي داود قد بلغ ذروة العليا في المكان. This shows that أليمام أبي داود. He reached a pinnacle. That a whole city became corrupt. And he can build it if he goes back by himself. And this is something that we need to take into consideration. Which is brothers. When fitna happen. The solution for it is علم. It's not investing money into that land. And building skyscrapers. And it's not bringing actresses. And artists. And et cetera. No. If a place wants to be shun and lit. What should be bought to the people is what? العلم النافع. Beneficial knowledge. The leader understood that. That the people could be taken out of the fitna. And everything that had happened. With what brothers? The sunnah of the messenger. And this is an important point that we need to take into consideration. And this stand is. And that's a lot of scholars who are like this. Abu Dawood was not the only one. المعمر بن راشد. The people of Yemen. How did he end up staying with them? When he went and he visited Yemen. And they saw his knowledge. And they saw his mind and his ability. They married him off to the women of Yemen. To keep him in Yemen. رحمه الله. To keep him in Yemen. So he can narrate. And he can tell the narration of the Prophet ﷺ. Because they believed they needed him. And he resided. And he stayed in Yemen. رحمه الله. Many of the scholars were like that. If a place became destroyed. And the way to bring people back is. العلم النافع. And Imam Abu Dawood Abraza. He became very famous. And well known. And he grounded العلم الحديث. العلم الفق. حديث رواية ودراية. رحمه الله. جرحو التعديل. العلل. And etc. The things that he became famous for were all of them. So we're going to stand over one after the other. Number one. And Imam Abu Dawood was an Imam in what? The narrations in which he had. And he memorized. He had memorized. And he learned a lot. ولذلك. And Imam Abu Dawood. And he said. كتبت ع الرسول الله. I wrote from the Prophet ﷺ. Meaning the Ahadith of the Prophet that I have with me. And he has 500,000 حديث. 500,000 حديث I have. ولكن. Where does he have it? In his brain. He memorized it. رحمه الله. These are the narrations I have. He said. I wrote all of these hadiths. And he then says. انتخبت منها ما تضمّا ضمنته. هذا الكتاب. He said. I wrote 500,000 Ahadiths. انتخبت منها. I chose from those 500. ما ضمنته. That which I placed inside. هذا الكتاب يعني كتاب السنان. From the 500,000. I selected and I chose. Ahadiths that I placed inside my sunan. And he placed all of it. And it was said that Imam Abu Dawood. Every single day. He will sit down and he will do مضاقرة. Revision of 100,000 Ahadiths. Daily. He will revise. And every 5 days. He will finish the 500,000 Ahadiths. That he wanted to revise. This is not the Quran. These are Dawood. We are struggling with memorizing 40 Ahadiths. 42 Ahadiths. That's all it is. And if somebody memorizing 42. And adds 8 of them. زياداتي بن رجب. زيادات الرجبية. And makes it how many? 50. In London. Mufti. Of East London. صحي يا إخوة. He's a Mufti of East London. If a person memorizes it. Pay attention. This is very important. So this shows the knowledge of Imam Abu Dawood. When it came to Ahadiths. Also علم جرحة والتعديل. And Imam Abu Dawood. He was strong and he was grounded in what? The علم of what? علم جرحة والتعديل. This علم يا إخوة. علم جرحة والتعديل. من أصعب علوم الحديث. جرحة والتعديل. Brothers is the hardest field of Hadith. It's the hardest subject in Hadith. فلا يقدم إليه. No one comes forward towards it. And goes towards its direction. إلا من تصفى. Except a person whose characteristics is. سعة للطلاع. He's known to read Allah. A person who has read. Has looked at narrations. Has seen things. This is the person goes to forward to it. He's looked at the أخبار المروية. The narrations that have been transmitted. He has read it. These are the characteristics of a person who can speak about this issue. ومن من سامع. ومن أخذ عنه. وكيف كانت كتبه. هل هي الصحيح عملا. إلى غير ذالك من ما لا بد منه في هذا الميدان. The narrators, when they were born. When did they die? Who did they meet? When did they meet them? What city did they meet them in? He has to know all of that. He also has to know. What are criticism that can be placed on a person. And what criticism is weak. How to prioritize when a criticism is given. Presidents over appraised. All of these are sciences. That a person who has deep knowledge can speak about. And Imam Abu Dawood was what? He was من هؤلاء الأفداد. He was from those scholars. He was allowed to speak about this field. This is a field يا إخوة. حتى لما مشافع كان لا يتطرق إليه. And Imam مشافعي never used to speak about this. محمد ملودرس. الشافعي رحمه الله. Never used to speak about it. And now we have people who would speak about this issue. Who will struggle to read فاتحة. صحيح. يولدو الجرح والتعديل. And they will say فلان. ألان صحيح. And they can't read. سورته. They say وللله اللين. Except other than ضضاد. And these مسائل. That Imam مشافعي. He would do توقف of. And he would ask who? أحمد بن حمبل. And he would say أحمد. What do you say in this regard? The person who have جرأة to go forward in it. And Imam أبي داودو was what. For أحد أحمد الجرح والتعديل. He was from the أحمد of جرح والتعديل. And he was from the شيوخ of this field. He was of the Rome. And he was in the line. And in the group. Of Imam أحمد رحمه الله. In this field. He was with يحي المعين in this field. And Ali بن المديني. And Imam أبو خاري. And the likes of them. Ali بن أبي حاتم. And Abi زرع. أبي داودو was in there. When it came to this field. رحمه الله. He is from those people. من من مكانه الله التبحر. الله gave him تبحر. Meaning he was deep into this field. If you buy the Kitab that I mentioned before. سؤالات أبي عبيضة. العبيضة العجرية. رحمه الله. To Imam أبي داودو. In جنح والتعديل. You read that Kitab. And you look at it. You'll be amazed of how he knows it. Also the third thing that Imam أبي داود. That shows his knowledge. Is علمه علل الحديث. The knowledge of what? علل. Of a حديث. علل الحديث يا إخوة. Is from the sciences which are very what? Very complicated. Because the science of علل الحديث. Is something to do with. غمود. It's very hidden. عل الحديث for example. Would be a person who comes and narrates from an Imam every time. He's always narrating from this Imam. But that particular day when the Imam was narrating that حديث. That particular person wasn't there. Scholars of حديث would have to know if he was there or not. This is علة. They would pick this up. With قراءة in external factors. They were looking to and they would pick that up. And one of the best books that are contemporary written. And I really find it very beneficial. And I advise if you guys can read it. Is written by شيخ طارق عوض الله. شيخ طارق عوض الله. He's alive. حيون. يورزخ. Is from Egypt. And now he resides in. Now he resides in America. Is in Minnesota. He wrote a kitab called العرشاد. This kitab from the people who are the معصرين today who are alive. He has done a very good job. This kitab when he speaks about علة الحديث. And تقوية الشواهد. Strengthening حديث based on شواهد. This kitab a person should try to buy it and look into it. Is another sheikh who is from Iraq. Who is alive today. His name is called ماهر ياسين الفحل. ماهر ياسين الفحل. Is from the students of بشارع عود معروف. He has a kitab called العلل. And I think it's five or six volumes. Do you know how many volumes it is? That blue jersey done the top of it. This book teaches you how to study this علل. So this site is very complicated علل. But in America when I went to India. I was with a sheikh. An Indian scholar who graduated from Jamiah Islam. Who did the technique of the kitab. العلل الواريدة. By Al-Alimam Al-Daraqutni. He done his Ph.D. on that kitab. He was working on that book. العلل الواريدة. By Al-Alimam Al-Daraqutni. And that's why. العلل الواريدة by Al-Daraqutni is the best. Every single person who came after took it from him. Are we together? Al-Alimam Al-Daraqutni. Everyone who came took it from him. Al-Alimam Al-Daraqutni. And the sheikh he done a portion of it. Not all of it but a portion of it. He done a portion of it. His name is Shaykh Obaid al-Rahman. Ibn Muhammad Ibn Hanif. And Madani. حفظه الله. And it's funny because Al-Daraqutni. Kitab علل الواريدة. Which is nearly 30 volumes. He read it all from his memory. He never looked at it anyway. He read it. And the people were writing it from him. This shows these people's memory and their brain and their work and their efforts. So the people he references a lot in that book is who? Abu Dawood. And Abu Dawood is from the Aima of this field. When looking for hidden defects of hadith. And Al-Daraqat scholars they praised him for this. ألمامه بلو منده رحمه الله. يسأل الذين أخرجوا الصحيحة وميزوا الثابة من المعلول والخطأ من الصواب أربعة. Four people are the ones who have brought a hadith which are authentic. They also distinguish from the hadith which are hidden defects. From the hadith which are authentic. They've distinguished one from the other. Four people. Four scholars were known for this. البخاري مسلم أبي داود السجسطاني. And ألمام النسائي رحمه الله. You can say ألمام النسائي. Or you can say ألمام النسائي. How ever you say. Or you can even say ألمام النسوي. Three ways you can say his name. ألماءوا these are the four he said. They're well known for what? وميزوا الثابة من المعلول. They've distinguished the hadiths which are authentic. From the hadith that have hidden defects. أبو داود was very good at that. He was with أبو خاري. And he was with مسلم in this field. And also he's with ألمام النسائي as well. ولي ذلك if you read سنة النسائي. And insha'Allah سنة بيداود. We're going to see a lot of إلال in it. That we have to pick up. That we have to know insha'Allah. Fourth thing that ألمام أبي داود was good at is فِق الحديث. That's the reason why we chose this book. This book has فِق. He picked the best wedding for each chapter. This can only come from a person who has strong فِق. He selected رحمه الله. And he hand picked. And he chose. What did he choose? The hadiths based on the wording. Because he wanted to extract فِق from it. رحمه الله. In this regard. As I said before. He's قرين الإمام البخاري. He's like الإمام البخاري. Because بخاري in his صحيح. He didn't place a hadith except he prayed what? Yeah? He prayed what? Two ركعات. So based on الإمام البخاري رحمه الله. الإمام البخاري he prayed 14,000 ركعات To place his صحيح. Every hadith. As some of the narrate mentioned. Every chapter. So if it's every single hadith. He prayed two ركعات. He prayed 14,000 تقريبا. ركعات الإمام البخاري رحمه الله. Just for his صحيح. Are we all together brothers? That's just the صحيح. Forget the other students that he used to pray and anything else. رحمه الله. So الإمام البخاري used to choose. And he used to do استخارة. And he used to come pray for a hadith that he would place in his صحيح. He would choose it. He wasn't just throw the hadith in there. It was chosen. It was picked. Whereas الإمام البخاري بدوت was the same. He picked and he chose. And the scholars they say. Anyone who memorizes سنان أبي داود. Memorizes it. And he understands it. This person is strong in فقر. Understand سنان أبي داود. And he memorized سنان أبي داود. Because it's the greatest book in حديث الحكام. It's the strongest book in حديث الحكام. It's not the biggest but it's the strongest. The biggest is سنان الكبرى الإمام البخاري رحمه الله. That's the biggest book in حديث الحكام. What does حديث الحكام mean? A hadith الحكام means a hadith that are pertaining to jurisprudent rulings. Thicky related matters. The Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ are different. Some hadith are heart softening. Some are virtuous actions and etc. سنان أبي داود is not like that. سنان أبي داود doesn't talk about virtues and righteous deeds. No, it talks about حكام rulings. صحيح? That's why it's called سنان. سنان here means فقيات is going to speak about. So ألمام أبي داود was strongly this particular field رحمه الله تعالى. Here's the question that was asked to Shaykh الإسلامي بن تيم. ألمام أبي بن تيم was asked هل البخاري ومسلم أبي داود وترمذي ونسائي وبنواجة هل كان هؤلاء مجتهدين لم يقلد أحد من الأئمة أم كانوا مقلدين? وزأ الإمام البخاري ومسلمنا أبي داود انترمذي ونسائي وبنواجة وذي مقلدين أو وذي مجتهدين. Who has asked this question? Shaykh الإسلامي بن تيم. Look what he said. أما البخاري وابي داود. أصفوا البخاري وابي داود فأماماني في الفق. Both of them are imams in the fiqh. من أهل الاجتهاد. They are from the scholars of the Ijtihad. وأما مسلم واترمذي ونسائي وبنواجة And he mentioned others. فهم على مذهب أهل الحديث. They are upon the madhab of the Ahl al-Hadith. They are upon a madhab called madhab of the Ahl al-Hadith. Meaning they will look at the كلامة الله وزاعيا ليتبن الساعدة ومالك وشافعي and others. And whatever was correct and the evidence was cleaning towards they would take them. This is madhab of the Ahl al-Hadith. Meaning because some people when they wrote طبقاتوا شافعية they add imam muslim to it. And they said imam muslim is a shafii. And the hanabil in the طبقاتوا الحنابي they added muslim to it and they said he is an hanbali. Where did the problem come from? Because they saw times that imam muslim was agreeing with imam Ahmad so they thought he was a hanbali. Or they saw him agree with shafii then they thought he was a shafii. No he's not. He follows wherever the haq is with. Are you together brothers? لكن اليمام بخاري أن اليمام أبي داوو don't look at who said this. They are إما مشتهدين They just look at the dileel and they extract the rulings out of it. They look at the nusus and they extract from it. Whereas the others will look at what the lady of the misa'at say. What did Oza'i say? What did Sofiana Thorey say in this issue? What did Uyaina say? What did Ma'amar say? What did Malik say? And when they look at each one what's the evidence from Malik? What is the evidence for shafii? What is the evidence of Foulad? And when they saw everyone's evidence and Ahmad when they saw everyone's evidence whoever they thought was closest to the truth they would take. This is Madhab and Ali? Madhab and Ali Al-Halith. لكن as for Imam Abu Dawood and Imam Abu Bukhari both of them are what? As Ibn Taymeh said they are so that's why we chose this book. صحيح. Sunnah Abu Dawood has this distinct characteristics in it. The scholars they praise Imam Abu Dawood. And we're going to now go into the Tana'u ulama'i the praise that the scholars have put to Imam Abu Dawood. Imam Abu Dawood these are the praises that were said about him. Muhammad Ibn Ishaq Al-Saghani and Ibrahim Al-Harbi when they came across the Sunnah Abu Dawood written by Imam Abu Dawood and they saw the book and they looked at it they were amazed with what he wrote and they were amazed at how he structured it and the words that he picked and the way that he chapter his book they were shocked and amazed with it and they said the following statement about him they said أولين لأبي داود الحديث Allah has made حديث soft for أبي داود كما أولين لداود الحديث the way Allah made the metal soft for داود عليه السلام did Allah not say in the Quran وقلنا له الحديث نبي الله داود we made we made وقد أتينا داود منها فضلا يجبال أول بمعه والطير وقلنا له الحديث we made the metal soft for who نبي الله داود we just grabbed the metal and that's how Imam Abu Dawood he used to what was his job he used to make the armor how would he make the armor because he could bend things he didn't need a machine or burning the metal the same way Allah made the metal soft for نبي الله داود he made حديث soft for أبي داود that's the statement of who محمد مصحق الصغاري and an Imam الحربي he died at 270 and Ibrahim الحربي he died at 281 هجرية so they praise him also his own student علاني بن عبدالصمت he said كان أبو داود من فرسانه هذا الشأن and Imam Abu Dawood was the فرسان فرسان means for front riders of this particular field موسى بن حارون الحافظ who died at 294 and before he said خولق أبو داود في الدنيا للحديث أبو داود was created in this world and Allah brought the أبو داود in this world for حديث وفي الآخرة للجدنة and hereafter Allah made him to place him in jannah إن شاء الله وما رأيت أفضل منه I never saw anyone greater than him and I never saw anyone more virtuous than him أبو بكر الخلال the great سجستاني الإمام المقدم في زمانه رجل لم يسبقه إلى معرفة بتخرج العلوم وبصري بمواضعها أحد في زمانه رجل ورع المقدم he said سلماني بن الأشعث السجستاني he is a forefront in this field no one preceded him in knowing how to extract knowledge from this dean his insight and how he saw things رحمه الله he was alone in this in that at his time رجل ورع he was a man who had these characteristics of ورع ورع is when a person leaves of what is doubtful and goes towards what is clear permissible many other scholars praised him ابن حبار رحمه الله he said about him أبو داود أحد أئمة دنيا فقن وعلمن وحفظن ونسكن وورعن وذب عن السنن وقام عمن خالفها وانتح لضضها he said أبو داود is from the أئمة الدنيا فقن in fiq is the imam of the dunya علم and حفظ and he carried himself and his piety and how he was precise he said he gathered and he authored وذب عن السنن he defended the sunnah from all of the weak narrations that were that were being tried to be attributed to our messenger وقام عمن خالفها وانتح لضدها he destroyed those who opposed the sunnah and he clarified their path الحكم إني سابوريو I'm going to conclude with him he said أبو داود أئمام أهل الحديث في عصري بلا مدافعة أئمام أبو داود he's the imam of the people of Hadith بلا مدافعة without any argument there's no dispute about it that he was the imam of these of his time and there's also other تكلم that Imam Al-Nawih said about him شيخ الاسلام let me read the تكلم of these four scholars it's important I mentioned it واتفق العلماء على الثناء على أبو داود he said that the scholars are unanimously agreed upon in the praise of Abu Dawood ووصفه بالحفظة التام and they all attributed to him the characteristics of Bina Hafid والعلم الوافر والإتقان والورع والفق الثاقي في الحديث that he had إتقان he precise he had religion he had understanding which was precise in حديث and other شيخ الاسلام أئمام أبو داود أئمام البخاري أنا بداود أفقه أهل أهل الصحيح وسنل they are the most greatest in fiq أئمام البخاري أنا بداود from all of the other six أئمام الذهبي رحمه الله he said أئمام شيخ السنة مقدم الحفاظ and he also said about him ثبت حجه أئمام عامل these were the terms that he gave to him he called him شيخ السنة مقدم الحفاظ the forefront of the حفاظ he called him ثقه his integrity is on point حجه he is a proof أئمام he is a leader someone to be followed and he is عامل a person who implements his knowledge the last person is حافظه من الكثير رحمه الله he said he was one of the scholars of hadith who traveled الراحال is a person who goes around the world جوال is a person who goes around the world جوال is a person who goes around the world جمع وصنف وخرج وألف وسمع الكثير عن مشائخ البلدان في الشام ومصر والجزيرة والعراق وخرسان وغير ذلك وله السنة المشهورة المتداولة بين العلماء he authored he wrote books out he had many hadiths from scholars in Egypt in Sham, in jazira, Iraq خرسان other than that and he traveled to all of those places and he heard from the scholars of those places وله and for him is السنة المشهورة he has the famous sunan that we know that he has رحمه الله المتداولة بين العلماء that the scholars they pass on to each other إن شاء الله و تعالى next week Saturday بإذن الله الكريم we will finish the sunani الإمام أبي داود السجيستاني we want to speak about the sunan
