ONE OF THE BEST POEMS I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS ASWELL
The famous Haa'iyyah poem of Ibn Abee Daawood [D. 316 AH] (rahimahullaah) Son of Imam Abi dawoud, and its illustrious points concerning the correct Islaamic 'Aqeedah, recited in Arabic by Abul-'Abbaas Moosaa Richardson followed by a translation in English. This is a poem where he (Rahimahullâh) explains our Aqeedah.
The video is great , Its only like 8 minutes where the Brother recites it in arabic first and then translates it in english like 3 minutes into the video. Its very nice , please do check it InshahAllah.
TRANSCRIPT:
- The Haaiyyah Poem -
Ibn abî Dâwûd:
Hold tightly to the rope of Allâh and the guidance, and do not be an innovator so that you might be successful.
And practice your religion based on the book of Allâh and the sunnah, which have come from the Messenger of Allâh, so you will be saved and earn reward.
And say; Not a created thing is the speech of our Great King, such was the religious position of the pious ones who spoke well.
And do not be a person who takes no position on the Qur'ân, as did the followers of Jahm, and they had been too lax.
And do not say that the Qur'ân is created, meaning; It's recitation, since the speech of Allâh, through it's recitation is made clear.
And say; Allâh will make Himself visible to all creation openly, just as the full moon is not hard to see, and your Lord will be seen more clearly.
And He was not born, nor has He fathered anyone, nor is there anything similar to Him, Exalted be The Glorified One.
And Jahmee rejects this however, We have, as a testimony to the truth for what we say, Ahadeeth that clarifies it.
Jareer narrated it, from the words of Muhammed, so say what He said about that, and you will be successful.
And perhaps a Jahmee might deny His (Allâh's) right hand as well, while both His hands are giving out all kinds of bounties.
And say; The Ever Compelling descends each night, without asking for exact details (I.e. we don't ask "How"),
Magnificent is The One God, and most worthy of praise, down to the lowest heaven, granting bounties from His grace, as the gates of heaven are opened and spread widely,
He says; Is there anyone seeking forgiveness, who would like to meet a Forgiver? Or anyone seeking bounties of goodness and provisions, so he could be given what he requests?
A group have reported this, whos reports are not to be rejected, but sadly, some have went wrong and did not believe them, marring themselves.
And say; Indeed the best of the people after Muhammad, were his two deputies of old, and then 'Uthmân, according to the most correct position,
and the forth of them, was the best of creation after them; 'Alî, the companion of goodness, through goodness he was successful.
Those are the people, those who have no doubt about, upon the great camels of Firdous, shining brightly and roaming about,
Sa'eed, sad, Ibn 'auth, talha, Ameer afihr and Zubayr the praiseworthy, and speek with the best terms about the companions, all of them,
and do not be one who speaks ill of them, pointing out their faults, and criticising, since the clear revelation has spoken about their excellence, and in al-Fath, verses about the companions, praising them.
And regarding the pre-ordained Qadr; Be convienced, since it is the pillars that combines many affairs of the religion and the religion encompasses much.
And do not reject out of ignorance, the belief of Naqeer and munkar, or the pool, or the scales, surely, you are being advised sincerely.
And say; Allâh, The Great, will remove from His grace, out of the fire burned severily who will then be tossed in to the river of firdous where they will regain life by it's water like a seed taken by a flood that comes and wipes things away with it's abundant water.
And surely the Messenger of Allâh will intercede, and speak about the punishments of the grave, that is the truth made clear.
And do not make takfeer of those who pray, even if they commit sins, since all of them commit sins, while the owner of the throne forgives graciously.
And do not hold the belief like that of the Khawârij, since it is the position held by only those who desire it, and it is destructive and disgraceful.
And do not be a murjî, one who plays games with his religion, surely the murji is joking about the religion.
And say; Emaan consists of statements, intentions and actions, according to the explicit statement of the Prophet,
and it decreases sometimes due to disobedience, and sometimes because of obedience it grows, and on the scale it will outweigh other things.
And keep yourself from the opinions of the people and their stances, since the stance of the Messenger of Allâh is more befitting and easier on ones chest.
And do not be from those who play games with their religion; Attacking the people of Hadeeth, reviling them,
if you keep this belief all your life, O Holder of this poem, you will be upon goodness, day (in and day out?).
القصيدة الحائية
الامام المحقق والحافظ المتقن المدقق شيخ بغداد ابي بكر عبدالله بن ابي داود سليمان بن الاشعث السجستاني ابن صاحب السنن الامام المعروف رحمهما الله
تمسك بحبل الله واتبع الهدى
ولا تك بدعيا لعلك تفلح
ودن بكتاب الله والسنن التي
أتت عن رسول الله تنجو وتربح
وقل غير مخلوق كلام مليكنا
بذلك دان الأتقياء وأفصحوا
ولا تك في القرآن بالوقف قائلا
كما قال أتباع لجهم وأسجحوا
ولا تقل القرآن خلق قرانه
فإن كلام الله باللفظ يوضح
وقل يتجلى الله للخلق جهرة
كما البدر لا يخفى وربك أوضح
وليس بمولود وليس بوالد
وليس له شبه - تعالى -المسبح
وقد ينكر الجهمي هذا وعندنا
بمصداق ما قلنا حديث مصرح
رواه جرير عن مقال محمد
فقل مثل ما قد قال في ذاك تنجح
وقد ينكر الجهمي أيضا يمينه
وكلتا يديه بالفواضل تنفح
وقل ينزل الجبار في كل ليلة
بلا كيف جل الواحد المتمدح
إلى طبق الدنيا يمن بفضل
فتفرج أبواب السماء وتفتح
يقول ألا مستغفر يلق غافرا
ومستمنح خيرا ورزقا فيمنح
روى ذاك قوم لا يرد حديثهم
ألا خاب قوم كذبوهم وقبحوا
وقل إن خير الناس بعد محمد
وزيراه قدما ثم عثمان الأرجح
ورابعهم خير البرية بعدهم
علي حليف الخير بالخير منجح
وإنهم الرهط لا ريب فيهم
على نجب الفردوس في الخلد تسرح
سعيد وسعد وابن عوف وطلحة
وعامر فهر والزبير الممدح
وسبطي رسول الله وابني خديجة
وفاطمة ذات النقاء تبحبحوا
وعائشة أم المؤمنين وخالنا
معاوية أكرم به ثم امنح
وأنصاره والمهاجرون ديارهم
بنصرتهم عن كية النار زحزحوا
ومن بعدهم فالتابعون لحسن مآخذ
وأفعالهم قولا وفعلا فأفلحوا
ومالك والثوري ثم أخوهم
أبو عمرو الأوزاعي ذاك المسبح
ومن بعدهم فالشافعي وأحمد
إماما هدى من يتبع الحق ينصح
أولئك قوم قد عفا الله عنهم
فاحببهم فإنك تفرح
وقل خير قول في الصحابة كلهم
ولاتك طعانا تعيب وتجرح
فقد نطق الوحي المبين بفضلهم
وفي الفتح آي للصحابة تمدح
وبالقدر المقدور أيقن فإنه
دعامة عقد الدين والدين أفيح
ولا تنكرن جهلا نكيرا ومنكرا
ولا الحوض والميزان إنك تنصح
وقل يخرج الله العظيم بفضله
من النار أجسادا من الفحم تطرح
على النهر في الفردوس تحيى بمائه
كحبة حمل السيل إذا جاء يطفح
وإن رسول الله للخلق شافع
وقل في عذاب القبر حق موضح
ولا تكفرن أهل الصلاة وإن عصوا
فكلهم يعصى وذو العرش يصفح
ولا تعتقد رأي الخوارج إنه
مقال لمن يهواه يردي ويفضح
ولاتك مرجيا لعوبا بدينه
ألا إنما المرجي بالدين يمزح
وقل إنما الإيمان قول ونية
وفعل على قول النبي مصبح
وينقص طورا بالمعاصي وتارة
بطاعته ينمى وفي الوزن يرجح
ودع عنك آراء الرجال وقولهم
فقول رسول الله أزكى وأشرح
ولاتك من قوم تلهو بدينهم
فتطعن في أهل الحديث وتقدح
إذا ما اعتقدت الدهر يا صاح هذه
فأنت على خير تبيت وتصبح
