Asslamo Allaikum, Anyone who calls for ditching of the Madhabs and bases this opinion on Saudi Scholars is frankly a MORON!
www.ibnfarooq.com/seekingKnowledgeUthaymeen.html

Shaykh Al-Albani (RA) on the other hand and his students are Anti-Madhab and that’s why the Ahl-e-Hadeeth lean towards Shaykh Al-Albani (RA). Shaykh Al-Albani (RA) on the other hand was the son of an Albanian Hanafi Scholar and it is possible that the excesses of his father turned him “Anti-Hanafi”. Shaykh Al-Albani (RA) also tried to tried to rewrite Fiqh rulings “independent of Madhabs”but his works were not completed. In short, it is wrong to put Saudi Scholars and Ahl-e-Hadeeth in the same bracket as overwhelming majority of Saudi Scholars were and are “Hanbali in Madhab”. To further prove this point of difference further Shaykh Al-Albani (RA) wrote his famous Salah book which is refuted by many Hanafees. A refutation of this very book was written by Sheikh Hamoud At-Tuwaijri (RA) who a student of Shaykh Ibn Baz (RA)...If Salafees and Ahl-e-Hadeeth were the same why did the Saudi Scholars had the need to refute Shaykh Al-Albani (RA)? Saudi Scholars have also refuted Shaykh Al-Albani (RA) on Niqab, on Tashahuud and other matters.


It is a very strange mix. Each one of them denies any link with the other. When I speak to Salafis, they say we are not of them, they are Saudi Salafi, or Psuedo Salafi (Dont ask!). If I ask them are you Ahle Hadith, some times there is no response. They deny any link with a group. It is obvious now that these people go under the name of the Hanabila.

My neighbours are Ahle Hadith, they only go to the Salafi mosque a few miles away which is/was under the imamat of Shaykh Shuaib Hassan (DB), and now their is a new mosque in StokeNewington where the Ahle Hadith and Salafis are all one. I have even been told that Shaykh Haitham al-Haddad (DB) spent a lot of time there during Ramadhan. The Imams of this mosque have studied in Madinah and are very young, therefore there is a sense of attraction towards them. (Like a Fashion trend).

The most popular website used by them also affirms the Ahle Hadith statement of Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal. this is another reason why they dont fully deny the connection.


This, I think is proof that they are Salafi, Wahabi, Ahle Hadith all 3 in 1. (Trinity)

Praise be to Allaah.

The phrase Ahl al-Hadeeth (people of hadeeth) refers to a group who venerate the Sunnah and seek to propagate it. They adhere to the ‘aqeedah (beliefs) of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). In seeking to understand their religion, they refer to the Qur’aan and Sunnah and the interpretation of the best generations, unlike others who adhere to beliefs other than the ‘aqeedah of the righteous salaf and refer to human reasoning, tastes and what they see in dreams.

This group is the saved group, the victorious party, which many imams have stated is the group referred to in the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “A group of my ummah will continue to prevail, following the truth. They will not be harmed by those who humiliate them until the decree of Allaah comes to pass when they are like that.” (Narrated by Muslim, 1920).

The imams, in the past and more recently, have said a great deal describing this group. We may chose from among them the following:

1 – al-Haakim said:

Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal did well when he commented on this report by saying that the victorious group who will prevail until the Hour begins is “ashaab al-hadeeth” (the people of hadeeth). Who is more deserving of this description than people who follow the way of the righteous and follow in the footsteps of the salaf who came before us, and exposed the falsehood of the people of bid’ah (innovation) by basing their arguments on the Sunnahs of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)?

Ma’rifat ‘Uloom al-Hadeeth, by al-Haakim al-Nisaboori, p. 2, 3

See the link for full details;
www.islamqa.com/en/ref/12761/ahle%20hadith



What happen with Shaykh Albani (in terms of his father being a Hanafi) is what the youngsters are doing today. They want to be different from their parents, they dont agree with their parents so they take up another way. At least (I guess) it is still Islam, there are many who renounce Islam just so that they can hurt their parents. It is a real mess. The sweet words of Shaytan are disguised to look like Haq and at the same time his words are going against the Ijma of the Ummah for the last 1400 years.
Whoever opposes the Rasool after the guidance (the truth of Islam) has become manifest (clear) to him and follows a path other than that of the Mu'mineen, We shall allow him to do that thing which he is doing and then enter him into Jahannam. It is the worst of abodes.
Surah Nisaa: Verse 115

O you who have Imaan! Obey Alllah, obey the Rasool and those in command among you (your leaders and authorities in all fields, such as the Imams of Jurisprudence in Fiqh). If you dispute regarding any matter, then refer it to Allah (find the solution in the Qur'an) and the Rasool (or find the solution in the sunnat) if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. This is best (for all) and gives the best results (because then you will not be basing your decisions on your personal opinions).

I heard a talk by Shaykh Zahir Mahmood on Khlaid bin Waleed (RA), brilliant talk. he said in his own words how he emraced Islams, below is just a rough idea,

The Prophet(SAW) had commented to Kalid bin Waleeds brother that, Allah Almighty would surely one day bring Khalid bin Waleed to the Prophet(SAW) to embrace Islam. It was not possible that his intelligent, perspective and able brother should be deprived of the blessings of Allah Almighty and Islam.

This was just a thought that came to my mind instantly, it is not a comment for any one.

Intelligence, able brother, deprived. Just a thought. May Allah have mercy on us all and guide us all to the Siratul Mustaqeem.

Like I said, it was just a thought not an opinion on any one.

Issue 3:

Was Shaykh Abdullah Ibn Abi Mubarak (RA) a Hanafi or a Maliki?

The correct and honest answer to that matter is that Shaykh Abdullah Ibn Abi Mubarak (RA) was a Mujtahid Imam who benefitted from both and narrated Ahadeeth from both Imam Abu Haneefa (RA) and Imam Malik (RA) and some of the great Imams of their time are known to change Schools e.g. Imam Tahawi (RA) was a Shaf’ae and became a Hanafi.

So can we be conclusively declare Shaykh Abdullah Ibn Abi Mubarak (RA) to be Maliki on the statement of Qadi Iyadh (RA), alone?

Allah (SWT) knows best as this matter is discussed between Hanafi & Maliki Ulaama.

The points to consider are as follows:
 

  • There are LOADS of Authentic statements from Shaykh Abdullah Ibn Abi Mubarak (RA) about Imam Al-Adham Abu Haneefa and not a single retraction and change of opinion.
  • EVEN if he changed his Madhab he NEVER uttered anything bad OR retracted his opinion
  • For a moment lets accept that its act and he became Maliki then we would say that even an illustrious Mujtahid Imam like Shaykh Abdullah Ibn Abi Mubarak (RA) went from following one Imam (Abu Haneefa (RA)) to following another Imam i.e. Imam Malik (RA) i.e. he didn't go free-riding : - )
  • Imam Tahawi (RA) the Imam of Aqeedah went from being a Shaf'ae to being a Hanafi i.e. went from following one Imam (Ash-Sahf'ae (RA)) to following another Imam i.e. Imam Abu-Haneefa (RA) i.e. he didn't go free-riding : - )
  • I will prempt the reply and present the only possibly nagative statement from Shaykh Abdullah Ibn Abi Mubarak (RA) is where he called Imam Al-Adham Abu Haneefa "Miskeen Fil Hadeeth" and that matter is explained by Imam Al-Kawthari (RA) as:

http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/showthread.php?12869-Condemnation-of-Abu-Hanifa-by-Salafis-ANSWERED!

...that the statement of Abdullah bin Mubarak where he said: “Abu Haneefah is miskeen in hadith,” in no way implies that Imam Abu Haneefah had very little knowledge in the science of hadith. Rather, being miskeen in hadith refers to the fact that Imam Abu Haneefah's focus was not directed towards relating many turuq (chain of narrators) when narrating a hadith as is the habit of those muhadditheen who have devoted themselves solely for the transmitting of hadith.

Being a mujtahid, Imam Sahib's attention was focused to a greater extent to the deducing of ahkaam (laws and verdicts) from the various ahadeeth. (Ta’neeb-ul-Khateeb, pg 235)

The one thing for sure is that Shaykh Abdullah Ibn Abi Mubarak (RA) had great opinion about Imam Al-Adham Abu Haneefa (RA) and he DID NOT retract his views until death came to him.

Mujtahid Imams could disagree with Imam Al-Adham Abu Haneefa (RA) even his illustrious students like Imam Abu Yusuf (RA) or Imam Muhammad (RA) did but the points which are being highlighted are two:

  1. Imam Al-Adham Abu Haneefa (RA) is regarded in an undisputed manner as one of the greatest of Salaf
  2. The Imams which disagreed with him were Mujtahid Imams themselves and there is censor or problem with that

Once you agree with points 1 & 2 then there is no problem with a layman following one of the greatest Salaf since he/she is incapable of Ijtehaad.

Imam Abu Haneefa (RA) is not only Salaf but one of the greatest and Qur'aan & Sunnah command me to follow Salaf which I am doing.

Salaf disagreed with each other (based on daleel) so I have no problems Imam Malik Ibn Anas (RA) and his opinions and his Madhab.

In case of Raf Al-Yadain both of the greatest of the Salafs i.e. Imam Al-Adham Abu Haneefa (RA) & Imam Darul-Hijrah Malik Ibn Anas (RA) and their Madhabs agree on the matter, simply saying that these two great Salafs agree means that there are bound to be some from the Salaf who disagreed with them and again that’s fine.

The fact of the matter is that this is an issue of disagreement amongst Salaf and we accept that and follow the Salaf and have our daleel but as per the history of the Muslim Ummah we neither censor nor disrespect the position of Imam Ash-Shaf’ae (RA) & Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbal (RA)and we will discuss this later (if there is a need) on the specific issue.

Jazakullah Khairun

Asslamo Allaikum,

I asked respected Ulama of South Africa to research this statement and find the original quote in Arabic and here it is and this works against Salafees and I will produce the original as-is:

وتقريب المسالك - (ج 1 / ص 101)
من أهل المشرق
عبد الله بن المبارك
وهو مولى بني تميم. ثم لبني حنيفة مروزي وكنيته أبو عبد الرحمان. سمع من ابن أبي ليلى وهشام بن عروة والأعمش وسليمان التيمي وحميد الطويل ويحيى بن سعيد وابن عون وموسى بن عقبة والسفيانيين والأوزاعي وابن أبي ذئب ومالكاً ومعمراً وشعبة وحيوة بن شريح وقرأ على أبي عمرو بن العلاء والليث وغيرهم. روى عنه ابن مهدي وعبد الرزاق ويحيى القطان وابن وهب وغيرهم. قال ابن وهب: ما فات ابن المبارك من مشيختنا إلا عمرو بن الحارث. قال الشيرازي تفقه بمالك والثوري، وكان أولاً من أصحاب أبي حنيفة ثم تركه ورجع عن مذهبه. قال ابن وضاح: ضرب آخراً في كتبه على أبي حنيفة ولم يقرأه للناس.
ذكر مكانته من العلم والثناء عليه
قال أبو إسحاق الفزاري: ابن المبارك إمام المسلمين. وكان الفزاري يجلس بين يديه فيسأله. وقال شعبة: ما قدم من ناحيته مثله. قال ابن مهدي: لقيت أربعة من الفقهاء: مالكاً وشعبة وسفيان وابن المبارك. وفي بعضها: حماد، مكان شعبة. فما رأيت أنصح للأمة من ابن المبارك وحديث لا يعرفه ابن المبارك لا نعرفه. وسئل ابن مهدي عنه وعن الثوري أيهما أفضل، فقال ابن المبارك. فقيل له: إن الناس يخالفونك. قال: الناس لم يجربوا. ما رأيت مثل ابن المبارك. وكان ينسخه وحده. ولما نعي ابن المبارك إلى سفيان بن عيينة قال: رحمه الله. لقد كان فقيهاً عالماً عابداً زاهداً سجيناً شجاعاً شاعراً. وقال أيضاً: ما قدم علينا أحد يشبه ابن المبارك وابن أبي زائدة. قال محمد بن المعتمر: قلت لأبي لما مات الثوري: من فقيه العرب؟ قال ابن المبارك. قال الأوزاعي لأبي عثمان الكلبي عنه: لو رأيته لقرت عينك. وقال علي: هو ثقة. قال أبو حاتم: هو إمام. قال أبو زرعة: اجتمع فيه فقه ومروءة وشجاعة وسخاء وأشياء. وقال داود العطار: هو رجل طلع علينا من ناحية المشرق. وقال النسائي: ولا يعلم أحد في عصر ابن المبارك أجل منه ولا أعلى ولا أجمع لكل خصلة محمودة منه. وقال سلام بن مطيع: ما خلق بالمشرق مثله، وابن المبارك أحب إلي من الثوري. وقال ابن وضاح: سمعت جماعة من أهل العلم يقولون: اجتمع في ابن المبارك العلم والفتيا، والحديث والمعرفة بالرجال، والشعر والسخاء والعبادة والورع

 

Basically in this section of the book there is a small biography of the great Imam of Hadeeth Shaykh Abdullah Ibn Abi Mubarak (RA) and if the statement of Imam Shirazi (RA) is taken as Authentic then it would simply mean as we pointed out earlier that one of the greatest Imams of Hadeeth i.e. Shaykh Abdullah Ibn Abi Mubarak (RA) adopted the Fiqh (the word in Arabic is Tafaqahu) of Imam Malik & Sufyan At-Thawri (RA).

So assuming that the historical account of Imam Shirazi is accurate it would mean:

  1. Shaykh Abdullah Ibn Abi Mubarak (RA) used to follow the Fiqh of Imam Abu Haneefa (RA)
  2. And then he adopted the Madhab of Imam Malik (RA) & Sufyan At-Thawri (RA)
  3. Shaykh Abdullah Ibn Abi Mubarak (RA) NEVER made any disparaging or insulting comments towards Imam Abu Haneefa (RA).

This is a very serious and damning indictment of those who reject Madhabs because one of the greatest Imams of Hadeeth went from making Taqleed of one Imam to another Imam and he didn't go "free-lancing" and starting picking and choosing!

Anyone with a basic understanding of Arabic language can tell what is clearly written by Imam Shirazi (RA) and the rest of the quote is about the high rank of this noble Imam in Hadeeth.

Jazakullah Khairun for Ulama of South Africa in locating and providing the original text and may Allah (SWT) reward them for their efforts in this life and the next (Ameen).

In addition...I am pretty sure that the person posting this objection has NEVER read the book itself because in the same book there is a section called, "Akhbar Abi Haneefa (RA) Wa Ashaab (The news of Abu Haneefa (RA) and his companions" and it says in this section:

قال سعيد بن منصور قال سمعت فضيل بن عياض يقول كان أبو حنيفة معروفا بكثرة الأفضال وقلة الكلام وإكرام العلم وأهله

Saeed bin Mansoor (RA) says that he heard Fudhail bin Ayyadh (RA) say, "Abu Haneefa (RA) was well known for a great number of virtues, minimal speech and honouring of knowledge and those who are associated with it"

Maulana Yasin Saheb (HA) is requested to correct my shody translation.

Jazakullah Khairun
