‘Benefits from ‘Ar Radd ‘alā Bishr Al Mirrīsi’ of Imām Ad Dārimi’

Abu Hakeem

This was one of the great scholars of his time. His teachers included Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal. His students were the like of Ibn Khuzaymah and Abul Abbas as-Sijzee.

Bish al-Mareesi (no shaddah on the R, the people of Marees would pronounce it like that). He is from between the borders of Egypt and Sudan. His forefathers were from the freed slaves of Zayd ibn Khattaab. His father was a Jew, and was dispraised by the Jews of the time, because of his corruption of the Torah. He was described as being dishevelled and wearing dirty clothing.

Many of the scholars made takfeer of him, based on his distortions of the Book of Allah.

Abu Hakeem gives a brief bio of Bishr al-Mareesi and then refutes his misguided creed. He then brings a number of benefits from this book refuting the innovated beliefs of Bishr al-Mareesi.

Ustaadh Abu Idrees begins with establishing the reasons and the evidence for adhering to the scholars of Ahlus- Sunnah. Using verses from the Qur’an and Hadiths from the Sunnah he shows that it is from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah. He also gives examples from the companions. He also gives examples from our scholars of today.

“When fitnah comes, the scholars know about it. When it leaves, every ignorant person becomes aware” – Hassan al-Basri.

“The death of 1 scholar is more beloved to Iblees than the death of 70 devout worshipers”.

Hamdood al-Qisaar was asked. “Why is the speech of the Salaf more beneficial than our speech?”. He replied: “Because they spoke to bring honour to Islam and bring honour to the Most Merciful. As for us, we only speak to bring honour to ourselves, seeking the Dunya and to please the people”.

Ibn Qayyim: “Sincerity and love for praise do not come together in one heart, just like water doesn’t come together with fire”.

He also covers the manners one should have with knowledge and the scholars.

Hassan al-Basri: “ Know that Ahlus-Sunnah were few in number before you, and they will be few in number in the future. They are the people that when the wretched ones cause confusion, they do not follow them. Nor do they sway with the people of innovation. But they remain patience upon their Sunnah (the way of the Salaf) until they meet their Lord in that state. So likewise, you be the same, inshaaAllah”

Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah traces back the creed of the Ash’arees to ibn Kulaab (d. 240 AH). He lived in the same era as Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal (d. 241 AH). The majority of Muslims today are upon this creed.

The companions never differed in Aqeedah or the foundations of the religion. He explains how their creed came about and how this links with the beliefs common among Muslims today.

Abul Hassan al-Ash’ari (d. 329 AH) whom the Ash’arees ascribe themselves to, was a Mu’tazilee until the age of 40. He then adopted the ideology of the Kullaabiyah. Jahm ibn Safwaan and Ja’d ibn Dirham the predecessors of ibn Kullaab were so extreme that they were executed due to their extreme believes.

Abu Khadeejah gives details of their deviations and explains how they are all linked.

Abul Hassan al-Ash’aree later started to seek knowledge, and after studying from the hanbalis he repented and returned to the Sunnah. This is the belief that he died upon, as he stated himself in his books and so did his companions.

In fact, the Ash’arees take the belief of Ash’aree when he was upon the way of the Kullaabiyah. In fact, they even adopted the original ideas of the Mu’tazila and Jahmiyyah that even ibn Kullaab refuted.

Ustaadh Uways at-Taweel goes through the proofs from the Qur’an and Sunnah that indicate that the believers will see their Lord in the hereafter. He refutes the doubts brought by the innovators.

He goes through many verses and uses the Tafseer from the scholars of the Salaf.

Ustaadh Abu Iyad discusses the evidence that Allah, the Mighty and Majestic is above His creation.

He begins by laying down principles and clarifying the false reasoning of the people of kalam (rhetoric). Throughout the lecture he teaches the listener how to clarify the truth to a Jahmee or Ash’aree

He gives many proofs from the Qur’an and Sunnah about the Uluww of Allah.

How did the Salaf deal with those who deny this? How did they understand this issue? What is the correct understanding of the people of Sunnah?

Dr Abdulilah Lahmami looks at two Brelwi translations of the Qur’an to expose the deviations in their beliefs. He brings narrations from the Messenger of Allah and from the companions and their followers to refute their doubts and creed.

Among the issues he refutes:

- Their misinterprations of the word of Tawheed, Laa ilaaha illallah

- The misconception that the prophet was a light

- The names and attributes of Allah

- Their misconception that Allah is everywhere

Sahih al-Bukhari – The Book of Tawheed – Lesson 87 (08/06/2019)

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but will be the foremost on the Day of Resurrection." The narrators of this Hadith said: Allah said (to man), 'Spend (in charity), for then I will compensate you (generously).' "

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said that Gabriel said, "Here is Khadija coming to you with a dish of food or a tumbler containing something to drink. Convey to her a greeting from her Lord (Allah) and give her the glad tidings that she will have a palace in Paradise built of Qasab wherein there will be neither any noise nor any fatigue (trouble)." (See Hadith No. 168, Vol. 5)

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah said, "I have prepared for My righteous slaves (such excellent things) as no eye has ever seen, nor an ear has ever heard nor a human heart can ever think of.' "

Narrated Ibn Abbas: Whenever the Prophet offered the night (Tahajjud) prayer, he used to say, "O Allah! All the Praises are for You; You are the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. And all the Praises are for You; You are the Keeper of the Heavens and the Earth. All the Praises are for You; You are the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth and whatever is therein. You are the Truth, and Your Promise is the Truth, and Your Speech is the Truth, and meeting You is the Truth, and Paradise is the Truth and Hell (Fire) is the Truth and all the prophets are the Truth and the Hour is the Truth. O Allah! I surrender to You, and believe in You, and depend upon You, and repent to You, and in Your cause I fight and with Your orders I rule. So please forgive my past and future sins and those sins which I did in secret or in public. It is You Whom I worship, None has the right to be worshipped except You ." (See Hadith No. 329,Vol. 8)

Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair: Sa'id bin Al-Musaiyab, 'Alqama bin Waqqas and 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah regarding the narrating of the forged statement against 'Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, when the slanderers said what they said and Allah revealed her innocence. 'Aisha said, "But by Allah, I did not think that Allah, (to confirm my innocence), would reveal Divine Inspiration which would be recited, for I consider myself too unimportant to be talked about by Allah through Divine Inspiration revealed for recitation, but I hoped that Allah's Apostle might have a dream in which Allah would reveal my innocence. So Allah revealed:-- 'Verily! Those who spread the slander are a gang among you...' (The ten Verses in Surat-an-Nur) (24.11-20)
