The death of Imam Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak
Time in the month of Ramadan
From the year 181 AH
A person may be known among people
One of the good qualities
He is famous among them for this virtuous character
When his share of it is greater than others
Some people are referred to as having knowledge and understanding
Some of them are referred to as asceticism and worship
Some of them are referred to as invasion and ribat
Some of them are known for their generosity and abundance of charity
Some of them are known for their knowledge of Arabic or poetry
Or equestrianism, or trade, and so on
But these qualities must be combined in one personality
This is one of the few examples among people
However, God Almighty has favored some of His servants
He might get all of this
It brings together the virtues that differ among people
Even if it is a small crime
But the whole world was involved in it
An example of this character is one who combines good qualities
Imam Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak, may God have mercy on him
His name, lineage, and birth, may God have mercy on him
He is Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak bin Wadh
Abu Abdul Rahman
Al-Hanzali, their master
Al-Turki, then Al-Maruzi
Al-Hafiz Al-Ghazi is one of the notables
Imam Sheikh Al-Islam
The scholar of his time and the prince of the pious in his time
His Turkish father was a client of a merchant from the Banu Hanzala, from the people of Hamadan
If Ibn Al-Mubarak presented it, he would treat the son of their master well
His mother was Khwarezmian
He was born in the Khorasan province of Merv
In the year one hundred and eighteen AH
His apprenticeship and pursuit of knowledge, may God have mercy on him
Imam Ibn Al-Mubarak was keen on knowledge
He began his request when he was twenty years old
We do not know the reason for his delay in doing so
Perhaps this is due to the condition of his family
However, he gained a lot of knowledge
What matters is not the earlyness in seeking knowledge, nor the length of years in it
But with blessing and success
When Ibn Al-Mubarak set his foot on the path of knowledge
He worked very hard to achieve his achievements
Until he surpassed others
Ahmed bin Hanbal said
In his time, I did not seek knowledge from him
Collect a great thing
No one was less likely to fall than him
He was a man who had memorized hadith
Ibn Al-Mubarak said about himself:
She carried the knowledge for four thousand sheikhs
It was narrated on the authority of Alif Sheikh
His knowledge, may God have mercy on him
Imam Ibn Al-Mubarak was one of the great scholars
Which the scholars knew were firmly established in it
They testified to their high rank in their achievement, education, and work
They praised him for this great quality
Which is one of his many qualities
Abu Omar bin Abdul-Barr said
The scholars unanimously agreed on his acceptance, majesty, imamate, and justice
Ibn Mu'aym said
He was Abdullah, may God have mercy on him
A reliable bag
He was a true scholar of hadith
It was his books that talked about it
Twenty thousand or twenty-one thousand
Ibn Al-Mubarak believed that knowledge was the greatest honor
With which he does not need any honor other than himself
He said: I am astonished at the one who did not acquire knowledge
How does his soul invite him to a reward?
May God have mercy on him, he was passionate about reading
A lover of books
He sees sitting with her as his comfort and comfort
In remaining among them, he finds salvation from backbiting gatherings
And seats wasting time
Al-Balkhi's brother said
It was said to Ibn Al-Mubarak
If you prayed, why don't you sit with us?
He said, “Sit with the Companions and Followers.”
Look at their books and works
What shall I do with you?
You backbite people
May God have mercy on him, he did not read knowledge or memorize it in order to outperform others
And he asks for an offer from the world
Rather, he was asking for work
Therefore, his interest in worship and acting according to what he learned influenced him
Naeem bin Hammad said
I have not seen someone wiser than Ibn Al-Mubarak
No more diligent in worship
Examples of his work with his knowledge
What Al-Hassan bin Arafa said
Ibn Al-Mubarak told me
I borrowed a pen in the Levant
So I went to return it
When I came, I looked and saw that he was with me
So I returned to the Levant until I returned it to its owner
This is a lofty goal of honesty
He was popular among people for his knowledge and work
known among them
If he presents a place, its people celebrate it
Al-Rashid provided the blessing
The people rushed behind Ibn Al-Mubarak
The soles were torn and the dust rose
So Ashraf was the mother of a son of the Commander of the Faithful
From the tower of the Wood Palace
She said who is this?
They said, a scholar from the people of Khorasan came
She said this, and God is the King
Not the king of Aaron who does not bring people together
Except with a condition and agents
Jouda, may God have mercy on him
Generosity and generosity were among the most evident qualities of goodness in Ibn Al-Mubarak
One of the aspects of his quality that he is known for
Honoring his brothers and neighbors in Hajj expenses
One of its quality aspects is settling the debts of debtors
He has reached the point of generosity in this regard
A man came to him
He asked him to pay off a debt he owed
So he wrote to God’s agent
When the letter was received,
The agent told him
How much debt did you ask him to pay?
He said seven hundred dirhams
And then Abdullah wrote to him to give him seven thousand dirhams
The agent reviewed it and said
The crops have been exhausted
So Abdullah wrote to him
If the crops have been exhausted
Age, too, has come to an end
So I reward him for what I wrote before
As if he wanted not to break that debtor's heart
He cannot be far from joy with this large amount
His jihad, may God have mercy on him
Abda Ibn Suleiman Al-Maruzi said
We were a company with Ibn al-Mubarak in the Roman lands
We encountered the enemy
When the two rows met
A man came out from the enemy
So he called for a duel
Then a man went out to him and killed him
Then another one killed him
Then he called for a stool
A man came out to him
He chased him for an hour, stabbed him and killed him
People crowded to him
So I looked
So he is Abdullah Ibn Al-Mubarak
And if he covers his face with his sleeve
So I took the edge of his sleeve and extended it
So it is him
And he said
And you, Abu Omar
Whoever insults us
This is from his sincerity, may God have mercy on him
Collect it for good qualities
Which was dispersed among others, may God have mercy on him
After reviewing some good qualities
In Imam Ibn Al-Mubarak
It turns out that the man
He has gathered good qualities
Tell me to meet someone else
That is why some of the previous scholars mentioned it
Some phrases indicating this matter
Ismail bin Ayyash said
There is nothing on earth like Ibn Al-Mubarak
I do not know that God created any of the qualities of goodness
Except that he placed it in Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak
Al-Abbas bin Musab said:
Abdullah collected hadith and jurisprudence
And Arabic and the days of people
Courage and generosity
Trade and love among teams
His death, may God have mercy on him
And after a good life
He spent it well
God gave it to him
And help him
Abu Abd al-Rahman surrenders himself to her master
And he leaves the world
God leaves it to others
A tongue of sincerity that speaks with praise
He reminds him to pray
So he died, may God have mercy on him, in Hit on the Euphrates
Departing from the Roman invasion
In Ramadan in the year 181 AH
He is sixty-three years old
And when Ibn Al-Mubarak was dying
He had a man teach him
Say there is no god but Allah
More than that
And he said to him
I am not improving
I fear that you will harm a Muslim after me
If you taught me, I would say there is no god but God
Then I didn't talk after that
So leave me
If you speak up
So meet me so that you will be my last words
This is valuable advice
It is the last thing he advised the nation of Muhammad
What great advice
In such a case
Lessons from Abdullah's life
Bin Al-Mubarak, may God have mercy on him
Firstly
Yes, good money for a good servant
And how beautiful knowledge is
When he meets with lawful money
With it, its owner protects his face from people
He uses it to obey God Almighty
He helps his companions in learning and teaching
Secondly
There is no good in knowledge if there is no work in it
Third
Check out the knowledgeable people
Meeting their needs is one of the best deeds
Fourth
Sincerity in good deeds
He is the one who raises the status of his owner
With God and with people
Fifth
Let the believer have a good participation
In multiple fields of goodness
He couldn't do that
It is not limited to one aspect
He is able to transcend it to others
