Some snippets of the book.

It’s a very interesting book on history showing the ijazat of the two scholars at the end of the era of al-Andalus.

Showing all the names in the chains of ulama of the ijazat during the Nasrid era (15th Century) in Granda and Málaga, that granted Ijazat to the judge ibn al-Azrāq al-Mālikī and his son.
One of the best books about the Sahābah.

A very useful book written by the top scholar of al-Andalus, Imām Abu ‘Umar Yusuf ibn ‘Abd al-Barr.

This book covers briefly all of the Sahabah in order with their name. This is very useful for the one who wants to know about the Sahabah and especially for someone who is student in Hadith, they can easily refer to Sahabī they want to research about.
The situation of how the Maliki Madhab entered al-Andalus
Ibn Hazm al-Andalusī:

Separation discloses deep-hidden secrets in a most marvelous way. I once saw a man whose love was strictly concealed, and who took every pains to keep his feelings out of sight, until the event of separation occurred; then that which was hidden became apparent, and that which was secret stood forth revealed.

Ibn Ḥazm al-Andalusī al-Qurṭubī mentions in his book, al-Faṣl, in his chapter of the Hideous/Disgusting Murji’ah (شنيع المرجئة):

❝There was a man in al-Andalus, Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā al-Ilbīrī saying, ‘The Munafiqīn are believers’; and he had followers.❞

And ibn Ḥazm also says:

❝He was abstinent from the Dunyā, an eloquent, talkative admonisher/preacher with little correct [and] a lot of mistakes. I saw him one time and I heard him saying, ‘The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did not obligate the Zakāh, because he chose that it comes on a Slave Prophet (نبيا عبدا); and for the slave, there is no Zakāh upon him...’

So I (ibn Ḥazm) abstained from his objection because the common people were attending. So, I feared their uproar and revilement from this falsehood.❞

Abū Hayyān al-Andalusī(رحمه الله)

"The customs of the women in Andalus was that nothing from a woman was shown except one eye"

al-Bahr al-Muhīt(7/25)
—
Imam Abu Hayyan is a disciple of Zahiri school when he was in Andalus, due to the fact that Zahiri was the prominent school of fiqh at that time in Andalus.

After he arrived in Egypt, he observed that Zahiri school is not well known there. So, he followed the school of Shafi’i where he studied al-Muharrar, a book written by al-Rafi’i and al-Minhaj composed by Imam al-Nawawi from al-Iraqi.

He learned and memorized some part of al-Minhaj (al-Tilmisani 1997, 2:541-542) before he copied the book by hand. Then he summarized it and named it as al-Wahhaj

(al-`Asqalani n.d., 2:121; Ahmad Khalid Shukri 2007, 38).

Even though he followed the school of Shafi’i, he was influenced by the first doctrine al-Zahiri. Al-Isnawi did mention: Imam Abu Hayyan was keener to the school of ahl al-Zahir and sometimes it was too obvious.

In case of the commentary of the Quran, Imam Abu Hayyan also seemed to be more inclined towards the literal meaning of the Quran, and sometimes he used the opinion of Ibn Hazm whenever there is any dispute in the legal texts. He also summarized the work of Ibn Hazm entitled al-Anwar al-Ajla fi Ikhtisar al-Muhalla, as he mentioned it in the book of al-Bahr al-Muhit (Ahmad Khalid Shukri 2006, 38).

♦️Have you ever wondered how the Andalusian dressed like?

These are pics of how the king, merchant, soldier, and the common Andalusian man and woman dressed.

Turbans were commonly worn along with the Silham (a cape like garmet) and flat-like shoes.

The Silham and flat-like shoes is still worn amongst the people of North Africa.

Women would cover their whole body and either show both eyes or one eye.

And take SPECIAL notice to the swords. Different from the swords used from other places in the lands of the Muslims. The Andalusian sword was flat, straight and not curved.
