Rivers of Knowledge

By Allāh! Not Many Are Able To Be Patient Upon This! An audio of Dr. Faysal حفظه الله encouraging students and motivating them to be firm on seeking knowledge. He, within it, says حفظه الله: "... And I tell you, by Allāh! Not many are able to be patient upon this. Those that are patient upon this are the utmost of men. By Allāh, I say they are the utmost of men. By Allāh, a man is not able to sit, learn and be patient... Patient upon poverty, patient upon sickness, patient upon harms, patient upon hardships. By Allāh, one is not able to handle this except the utmost of men. Those, who when the trials and tribulations come, they respond to it! And they put their trust in Allāh." ——— Translated by: Abu Muqbil al-Benghālī https://t.me/StudyingInYemen/1269

شرح عقيدة سفيان الثوري The ʿAqeedah of Sufyān al-Thawrī is a concise treatise outlining some of the fundamental beliefs of Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Jamāʿah. The great Imām of the Salaf, Abū ʿAbdillāh Sufyān al-Thawrī (رحمه الله) (d. 161 AH), was asked by his student, Shuʿayb ibn Ḥarb (رحمه الله), to provide a brief advice from the Sunnah that he could hold onto until he stands before Allāh سبحانه وتعالى. Throughout the text, Sufyān addresses Shuʿayb directly, saying يَا شُعَيْبُ (“O Shuʿayb”) as he takes him through these essential principles. Among the main topics discussed are the belief that the Qurʾān is the uncreated speech of Allāh, the status and precedence of the Sahābah, Imān and what it consists of, the belief in Qadar, and other fundamental principles of Ahlus-Sunnah. This treatise can also be found in the book Sharh Usūl I'tiqād Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamāʿah by Imām al-Lālikā’ī (d. 418 AH) Our Shaykh, Yahyā ibn ʿAlī al-Hajūri (حفظه الله), wrote a commentary on this text, further clarifying and elaborating on these principles. It was also mentioned that: “The Shaykh decided to comment on this treatise when he was visited by a number of guests. He said: كَانَ مِنَ الْمُنَاسِبِ أَنْ يُكْرَمُوا بِالْعِلْمِ ‘It was fitting that they be honored with knowledge.’ So he began going through this short treatise with them.” [1] [1] https://t.me/AlHajoori/648 ——— Summarized by: Rasheed al-Canadi Official English Channel: https://t.me/ShaykhYahyaEn/1505 Official Arabic Channel: https://t.me/sh_yahia_duroos/

A Fragrance of Ambergis on The Tale of the Four Maḥāmid Written by Abu Atiyyah Mahmud hafidhahullah ____ During our visit to Masjid Muqbil with Shaykh Daghash al-ʿAjmī [14 Rabi' Al-Awwal 1448 AH (Thursday, August 27, 2026)], we had the opportunity to sit with the noble brothers Abū ʿAṭiyyah, Abū Isḥāq Saʿd, Abū Ḥudhayfah Sāmī, and others. During this sitting, Shaykh Daghash mentioned a remarkable historical event. This research by our teacher, Abū ʿAṭiyyah, came about as a result of that sitting. -------------------------- Who Were the Four Maḥāmid? They were called the Four Maḥāmid because each of their names began with “Muḥammad”: 1. Imām Muḥammad ibn Jarīr at-Ṭabarī — the leading scholar of Qur’anic tafsīr and history. 2. Imām Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq ibn Khuzaymah — known as “the Imām of the Imāms.” 3. Imām Muḥammad ibn Naṣr al-Marwazī. 4. Imām Muḥammad ibn Hārūn ar-Rūyānī. The Story Around the year 256 AH, these four great scholars met in Egypt while seeking knowledge. Eventually, they ran out of money and food, and their hunger became so severe that they had nothing left with which to sustain themselves. The four scholars agreed to draw lots. Whoever was chosen would go out and ask people for food for his companions. The lot fell upon Imām Ibn Khuzaymah. He said to his companions: «“Give me some time so that I can pray the prayer of seeking guidance” — or, according to another wording, “two rakʿahs.”» He then began praying and humbly supplicating to Allah. While Ibn Khuzaymah was praying, there was suddenly a knock at the door. They opened it and found a eunuch, one of the servants of the governor of Egypt, Aḥmad ibn Ṭūlūn, who had come with candles and a servant carrying money. The messenger asked about each of the scholars by name and gave each of them a purse containing fifty gold dinars. He then told them that the governor of Egypt had seen a dream during his afternoon nap. In the dream, someone called out to him: «“The Maḥāmid are hungry! The four Maḥāmid in your land are hungry while you are sleeping!”» The governor awoke frightened and immediately ordered that the scholars be found, helped, and honoured.
