Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyá is more truthful than him, do not give him permission (to enter)
Imām Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal (d. 241 AH)It was reported that Dāwūd al-ʾAsbahānī (d. 297 AH) arrived in Baghdād from Naysābūr (Nishapur). Dāwūd had a cordial relationship with Ṣāliḥ (d. 265 AH), the son of Imām Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal (d. 241 AH). So he spoke to Ṣāliḥ, requesting from him if he could be so kind as to facilitate a meeting with his father.
Ṣāliḥ then entered upon his father and said: A man asked me to meet you.
Imām Aḥmad replied: Who?
Sālih said: Dāwūd.
Imām Aḥmad replied: From where?
Ṣāliḥ said…
He is not worth (camel) dung
ʿAlī ibn Maymūn al-Raqī (d. 246 AH)Al-ʿAllāmah ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Yaḥyá al-Muʿalimī (d. 1386 AH) mentions in his book, al-Tankīl[1] which he authored in criticism of Muḥammad Zāhid al-Kawtharī, specifically, regarding the narrator of ḥadīth: al-Mughīrah ibn Siglāb al-Jazarī (d. 202 AH):
Al-Mughīrah (ibn Siglāb al-Jazarī), was declared weak by Ibn ʿAdī (d. 365 AH). Ibn Abī Ḥātim recalls from his father that he mentioned about him, “He was upright”, and that Abū Zurʿah (al-Rāzī) says about him, “A Jazarī[2] who was fine”.
I say: The praise of foreigners [i.e. th…

Although utilising a kunyah is an old practice and a well established Islamic tradition, its concept, its usage, and other aspects about it is still definitely alien to most Muslims. Therefore, this article will detail the most important facts about one’s kunyah. They are as follows:
Fact 1: A kunyah is generally any name that starts with Ab or Umm [i.e. father or mother], like Abū Ḥakīm [i.e. Ḥakīm’s father], Abū Khadījah [i.e. Khadījah’s father], Umm Ṣāliḥ [i.e. Ṣāliḥ’s mother], Umm Ḥafṣah [i.e. Ḥafṣah’s mother].
Fact 2: Arabic grammar governs the pronunciation and the spelling of a kunya…
Narrated by Abū Dharr Jundub ibn Junādah (رضي الله عنه) and Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Muʿādh ibn Jabal (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “Fear Allāh wherever you may be. Follow every misdeed with a good deed and it will erase it. And treat mankind with an excellent, prosperous mannerism.”[1]
Imām Ibn Rajab (d. 728 AH) comments:
His (صلى الله عليه وسلم) saying: “ Treat mankind with an excellent, prosperous mannerism” is from among the characteristics of those who have taqwá. True taqwá is incomplete in its absence. He specified its mention separately due to the d…
