Pictures from the lives of the followers
By Dr. Abdul Rahman Raafat Al-Basha
May God have mercy on him
Abu Hanifa Al-Numan
May God have mercy on him
Abu Hanifa Al-Numan entered upon Imam Malik
He has a group of companions
When he left him
Malik turned to his companions and said
Learn from this
And they said no
Al-Numan said: Ibn Thabit
This is what he said about this pole
Lahtaj went for what he said
And I would have gone out as well
Imam Malik did not exaggerate in his description of Abu Hanifa regarding the strength of the argument
And quick wit
The mind ignites unity of thought
History and biographical books are littered with news of his positions with his opponents in opinion
And his opponents in doctrine
All of them are evidence of the validity of what Imam Malik described him as
If you claim that the dirt in your hands is gold
When you can do nothing but submit to his argument and submit to his claim
So what if he is fighting for the truth?
And argue for it
From this, a man from the people of Kufa was led astray by God
He was valued in the eyes of some people
And he has a word that is heard by them
The man was claiming to the people what he claimed for them
Othman bin Affan was Jewish in origin
And he remained Jewish after Islam as well
When Abu Hanifa heard this statement
He went to him and said
I came to you proposing to your daughter, so-and-so, one of my friends
He said: Welcome and welcome
There is no need for someone like you, Abu Hanifa
But from the suitor
A man who was known among his people for honor and wealth said
Generous hand, palm outstretched
A memorizer of the Book of God Almighty
He stands all night in one rak'ah
Weeping a lot out of fear of God Almighty
The man said: “Bakh, Bakh, that is enough for you, Abu Hanifa.”
Some of what you mentioned are characteristics of a suitor
He makes him worthy of the daughter of the Commander of the Faithful
Abu Hanifa said
However, there is a characteristic that must be taken into account
He said what is it?
He said he was Jewish
The man rose up and said, “Jew.”
Do you want me to marry my daughter to a Jew, Abu Hanifa?
By God, I will not marry her to him
Even if he combined the characteristics of the first and the last
Abu Hanifa said
You refuse to let your daughter marry a Jew
She denies this vehemently
Then you claim to the people
That the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He married his two daughters, both of them to Jews
The man felt a shudder and said
I ask God for forgiveness for the bad words I said
And I repent to Him for the lie that I fabricated
It is also that
That one of the Kharijites
He is Al-Dahhak Al-Shari
He came to Abu Hanifa one day and said
Repent, Abu Hanifa
He said: Why do I repent?
Al-Kharji said
From your statement that arbitration is permissible
What happened between Ali and Muawiyah
Abu Hanifa said to him
Won't you agree to debate with me on this matter?
He said the outer one wears out
Abu Hanifa said
If we disagree about something, we will debate about it
Who rules between us?
Al-Kharji said
Rule whomever you want
Abu Hanifa turned to a man from Al-Kharji’s companions
He was with him and said
Arbitrate between us on what we disagree on
Then he said to the outsider
I am satisfied with your friend
Are you satisfied with it?
The outsider explained and said yes
Abu Hanifa said
Woe to you!
It is permissible to arbitrate any dispute between you and me
She denounced it to two of the Companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
The outside faded
He did not give an answer
It is also that
Jahm Ibn Safwan
The head of the misguided heretical Jahmiyya sect
He sows evil in the land of Islam
Once Abu Hanifa came and said
I came to you to talk to you about things I have prepared for you
Abu Hanifa said
It's shameful to talk to you
And delving into what you go to is a fire that burns
Jahm said
How did you judge me with what you judged?
And you never taught me before
And you did not hear my words
Abu Hanifa said
I have heard statements about you that could not have come from a man from the people of the Qiblah
Jahm said
I am controlled by the unseen
Abu Hanifa said
He made that known about you and benefited
I knew him publicly and privately
So it is permissible for me to prove it to you according to what has been transmitted from you
Jahm said
I only want to ask you about faith
Abu Hanifa said
Have you not known faith to this day to ask me about it?
Jahm said
Yes, but I doubted the type of it
Abu Hanifa said
Doubting faith is disbelief
Jahm said
It is not permissible for you to label me as a disbeliever
Unless you hear something blasphemous from me
Abu Hanifa said
Jahm said
Tell me about a man who knew God with his heart
He knew that he was one, without a partner or an equal
And know him by his qualities
And there is nothing like it
Then he died without declaring the faith with his tongue
Will he die a believer or an unbeliever?
Abu Hanifa said
He dies as an infidel
And he will be among the people of Hell
If he did not express with his tongue what he knew about his madness
Unless something prevents him from speaking out loudly
Jahm said
How can he not be a believer?
He knew God exactly
Abu Hanifa said
If you believe in the Qur’an
And make it an excuse
I told you about it
Even if you do not believe in the Qur’an
You don't see it as an excuse
I told you what we say to those who contradict Islam
Jahm said
Rather, I believe in the Qur’an
And make it an excuse
Abu Hanifa said
God is Blessed and Most High
Make faith with two wounds
With heart and tongue
Not one of them
The Book of God and the hadith of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
They are overflowing with this report
God Almighty said
They knew the truth in their heaven
And they spoke it with their tongue
So God brought them into account according to what they said
Gardens under which rivers flow
And the Almighty said
Say
So he ordered them to speak
They were not satisfied with knowledge and education
He, peace and blessings be upon him, said
Say there is no god but God and you will succeed
The farmer was not made by knowledge alone
But he added the saying to it
He, peace and blessings be upon him, said
He who says there is no god but God will emerge from Hell
He did not say that he who knows God will emerge from Hell
Even if the saying does not need it
He is satisfied with knowledge without it
Satan would have been a believer
Because he knows his Lord
He knows that he is the one who created him
He is the one who kills him
And he is the one who sends him
And he was the one who seduced him
God Almighty said on his tongue
You created me from fire and you created him from clay
And he said, “My Lord, wait for me until the day they are resurrected.”
He said: Why did you mislead me?
I will lead them to your straight path
Even if what you claim is true
Many of the infidels would have been believers
By their knowledge of their Lord
While they denied it with their tongues
God Almighty said
They denied it, but they themselves were certain of it
He did not make them believers because of their certainty
Rather, he considered them unbelievers because of the ungratefulness of their tongues
Abu Hanifa continued to follow this pattern
Sometimes through the Qur’an and other times through the Hadith
Even instead of amazement and disappointment on Jahm's face
He slipped out of Abu Hanifa’s hands while saying:
You reminded me of something I had forgotten, and I will get back to you
Then he went away and never returned
It is also that
Abu Hanifa met a group of atheists
Those who deny the existence of the Creator Almighty
He said to them
What do you say about a ship laden with burdens?
Filled with luggage and loads
Surrounded by crashing waves in the depths of the sea
It was blown by strong winds
However, she continued to run calmly on her planned path
It proceeds reassuredly towards its known goal
Without distraction, defect, or deviation
There is no navigator on board to control its course
Or a guide that regulates its steps
Is this true in thought?
They said: No, this is something that cannot be accepted by reason
Illusion does not allow it, Sheikh
He said, Glory be to God
You deny that a ship can run smoothly at sea
Without having a master to take care of it
And you acknowledge the establishment of this universe
With its rich seas and its moving orbits
And his swimming bird and his predatory animal
Without a maker to control his craft
He is a manager who manages well
Damn you and what you think
After Abu Hanifa traveled his entire life's journey
Defends the religion of God
With what the Creator has bestowed upon him with great authority
He argues about his law with the inimitable logic that God has endowed him with
When certainty came to him
They found in his will that he intended to take care of his family
To bury him in good land
Whoever avoids him in every place where there is suspicion of usurpation
When his will reached Al-Mansour
He said: Who will excuse us from Abu Hanifa?
Alive and dead
He recommended that Abu Hanifa take over
Al-Hasan bin Amara washed it
When he washed it, he said:
May God have mercy on you, Abu Hanifa
And He will forgive you for what you have done
You have not broken your fast for thirty years
You have not leaned on your right hand at night for forty years
The jurists after you have become tired
Abu Hanifa Numan was
He is very sensitive to the sanctities of God
Long silence
Always thinking
Imam Abu Yotif
He says if he sought or said
They were here watering the clouds of our lives
In our mouth, their remembrance is exalted
They left and threw a question in my mind
Is there a star like them in the sky and its hills?
They filled their lives with pride in their actions
And the world of the ego has become apparent to them
