إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ ٱلْأَبْتَرُ

For he who makes you angry [to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم)]- he will be cut off. •(Surah Kawthar 108/3).

It was said this Ayah was revealed to be a refutation for Abu Jahl. When he said (out of slander) that the prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is cutoff/childless without any offspring. He meant that he had no child of remembrance.

When Abu Jahl died the Sahaba became at rest and his affairs were cut off from his death. Allah informed that this disbeliever (Abu Jahl) is he who is actually cut off, even if Abu Jahl had offspring. Because he is cut off from the Mercy of Allah and he is not mentioned except with a remembrance of accursedness.

A difference with the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم), who he is mentioned lasting until the end of time and elevated on the Minbars, connected with the remembrance of Allah.

And the believers from his era to the day of judgement are his followers and he is like a father to them.

Ibn Hazm al-Andalusī:

No calamity is there in the world equal to separation: if the souls of men should flow out of their bodies by reason of it-
and much more the tears out of their eyes-it were but little to wonder at.

A certain philosopher, on hearing a man remark that seperation was the brother of death, said, “Nay, but death is the brother of seperation.”

🔷Gems from al-Muwatta:

In this Hadith that I posted with the translation we can gather many gems and benefits.

Amongst the gems and benefits we find are: To verify any news that you get with authentic sayings, the rulers under a just Islamic State can be amongst the ulama, the fuqaha conveying Knowledge to the rulers, to research and make the effort to seek knowledge, etc.

Imām Yusuf ibn Abd al-Barr said:

Marwān (ibn Al-Hakm, Amīr of al-Medina) was from those intrigued with Knowledge and matters of the Dīn which was from (his actions) in the Dunya.

And Marān was from amongst the ‘Ulama. Likewise his son ‘Abd al-Malik.

And in it (this Hadith), searching of the proof (الحجة) and evidence (الدليل).

And to search for Knowledge until it is affirmed.

And acknowledging knowledge with the truth (بالحق) and its equity (إنصاف) when he heard the evidence (الحجة).

And so, the people of the Dīn and Knowledge are holders of equity and acknowledgment.

🔷The Pious Wife

Al-Qāḍī Abū Bakr ibn al-ʿArabī al-Andalusī:

❝If a man does not have a pious wife, his affairs will not be straight with her except by forfeiting a portion of his religion. This is something witnessed and known by experience.❞

Today, 527 years ago in the year, 897 H. Rabi Al-Awwal 1, was the fall of the last rulership of Al-Andalus. Under the
state of the Nasrids in Granada.

Do we know about this tragic day?

🔷Same book At-Tamhīd by Imām Yusuf ibn Abd al-Barr al-Andalusī al-Malikī but different publications. To those who are interested into reading from at-Tahmid, then the version on the top goes in order of hadith from different chapters just like in Muwata. Such as starting from time of Salah, Purification, etc.

As for the second version it is how the original Sharh is and in order of hadith, from the narrator.

I prefer to use the first version because it very useful to navigate with the ahadith. As for the second version, it is much better edited and is the latest version available.

I hope this will be useful for those wanting to read the Sharh of Muwata.

🔷Zaynab Bint Ishaq an-Nafzāwiyyah

Zaynab is also known as “the Wife of Kings”, and “Zahrat Aghmat” for her looks and intelligence. But is most famously known for her marriage to Murabitun leader Yusuf ibn Tashfin.

Ibn Khaldun said about her, “She was of the world’s most famous women of beauty and authority.”

Zaynab first married the Amir of Aghmat (Berber city in the south of Morocco, an important city for the Murābitūn) named Luqut al Maghrawi.

He was killed when the Murabitun invaded Aghmat. Zaynab inherited his possessions and became the richest woman in the region.

Zaynab then received many marriage proposals from powerful men from all over Maghreb. But she was looking for someone who had the intention of becoming the leader of the west (Maghrib)! Finally, Zaynab accepted the marriage proposal of the Murabitun leader Abu Bakr ibn Umar and gave him her wealth.

When her husband had to return to the Sahara (due to disagreements among some tribes), he advised her to agree to divorce and marry his cousin Yusuf ibn Tashfin who became his successor.

After her 'iddah (waiting period), she followed the advice and married -again- another powerful man, Yusuf ibn Tashfin.

Because of her looks, wealth, intelligence and marriages with powerful men, Zaynab was confronted with much jealousy. She was accused by the inhabitants of Aghmat of being a Sahara (one who practise sihr). How else would she succeed without jealousy of the people?

Zaynab was undoubtedly not flawless in her political choices (and the impact she had on her men) but falsely accusing her of being a sahara is something that was wrong and what we still see happening today to other successful women within the Maghreb community.

She also helped contributed into the rule of rebuilding Marrakech, the rest of al-Maghreb and al-Andalus under the rulership of al-Murabitun because of her smart tactics and intelligence.
