🔷One of the many unknown gems of al-Andalus was a woman scholar named Ishrāq as-Sawdā’a Al-Arūdīyyah.

She was a well mannered and knowledgeable scholar from the land of al-Andalus. What was well known about her was that she was a black woman and was a slave.

She was the lady of Abī Mutrif Abd ar-Rahmān ibn Ghalbūn al-Qurtubī al-Kātib. He was from the scholars of Córdoba and Imām Dhahabī said about him, “He was known from amongst the top reciters.”

She took from him in the fields of knowledge in Arabic such as in Nahu (Grammar), and in Ādab. They moved to València, another city in al-Andalus, which is located in modern day eastern Spain.

She surpassed and outdid him in many of what she took from him in knowledge. She did better in understanding than him from what he gave her from his teaching.

A top scholar of al-Andalus, Abu Dāwud ibn Sulaymān ibn Najāh, who was a scholar of the Quran and also a student of Imām ibn Abd al-Barr and Imām Bājī, said about her, “I took from her knowledge of poetry and read to her the book, an-Nawādir by Abī Alī, and al-Kāmil by Abī Abas al-Mubarid. She would mention these two books and speak about it from her memory without her even looking at the texts of the book."

She was nicknamed al-Arūdīyyah because she was a scholar in the knowledge of poetry and it’s poem styles.

After the death of Abd ar-Rahmān in the year 443H, she remained teaching until her death in the year 450H.

🔷Imam Qurtubī mentioned in his Tafsīr regarding the Ayah: ‎الَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَاءُونَ

Those who do good deeds only to be seen (of men). [6/107]

This means ,the people [who] display that they are Praying as if humbly, fearful, and devoted [for Allah]. Like the Fāsiq, he prays so the people can say, “Indeed, He is praying!” [Seeking to admired from the people]

The reality of Riyā’: Seeking what is in the dunya with ‘ibāda.

It’s foundation: Seeking high position/status in the hearts of the people.

Qādhi Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabī al-Andalusī al-Mālikī mentioned one of the types of Riyā:

Displaying Salāh, Sadaqah or beautification/improving the Salāh because of the watching of the people. And from that, he prolongs it [Salāh]

🔶Español:

Imam Qurtubī mencionó en su Tafsīr sobre el Ayah: ‎{107:6}

الَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَاءُونَ

“Esos que hacen ostentación”

Esto significa, la gente [aquellos] que muestran que están rezando como si humildemente, temiendo y en devoto [para Allah]. Como el Fāsiq, el reza así para que la gente pueda decir, “En efecto, El está rezando!” [Buscando admiración de la gente]

La realidad de Riyā’: Anhelando lo que hay en el dunya con ‘ibāda.

Su base: Anhelando una posición o estatus alto en los corazones de la gente.

Qādhi Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabī al-Andalusī al-Mālikī mencionó uno de los tipos de Riyā:

Presumiendo Salāh, Sadaqah o embellecimiento/mejora del Salāh por las miradas de la gente. Y por eso, lo prolonga [Salāh]
