The Wasiyyah (Will) of Imaam Al-Albaanee

Imaam Muhammad Naasirud-Deen Al-Albaanee
Source: Ma'a Shaykhinaa Naasiris-Sunnah wad-Deen (p.27-31)
Translated exclusively for www.bakkah.net

In the Name of Allaah, the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful...

Firstly, I advise my wife, children, friends, and all of my beloved ones, when the news of my death reaches them, to supplicate to Allaah, asking His Forgiveness and Mercy for me. I ask that they do not wail over me nor cry with a raised voice.

Secondly, I ask that they hurry my burial. I ask them also not to inform any of my close relatives or brothers (at the exclusion of others), except that which is necessary to prepare me for burial. Also I ask that they allow my body to be washed by my neighbor and sincere friend, 'Izzat Khidr Aboo 'Abdir-Rahmaan, and whoever he asks to help him with it.

Thirdly, I choose to be buried in the closest place available, so those who carry me will not place me in a car, nor will the followers of the janaazah (funeral) ride in their cars. I also ask that the graveyard be an old one, to ensure that its graves will not be exhumed...

...And for those living in the land that I die in, I ask that you do not make it a priority to inform my children from other lands until after I am buried. This is to prevent the emotions from overwhelming you, and as a result my janaazah becomes delayed.

I ask Al-Mawlaa (Allaah) that I meet him and that he has forgiven my past sins, and those I have yet to commit (at the time of writing this)...

...I bequeath my entire library, every printed book, copy, and manuscript (by my handwriting or someone else's) to the library of the Islaamic University of Al-Madeenah. That is because of my many fond memories of that place, the da'wah to the Book and the Sunnah upon the way of the righteous Salaf that I remember from the years I used to teach there.

I hope that Allaah will cause it to benefit the leaders of the da'wah there, as its owner used to benefit the students there in days gone by. And I ask that Allaah benefits me by them, from their sincerity and their work in the da'wah.

( O my Lord! Make me thankful for Your Favor that You bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and make me one that does righteous deeds that you love. And correct my offspring for me. Surely I repent to You, and surely I am from amongst the Muslims. ) [1]

Comments on the Wasiyyah
by 'Alee Al-Halabee

These are the most important excerpts from his wasiyyah, may Allaah sanctify his soul, from what is beneficial for the masses of the people. Some things specific to his situation, may Allaah have Mercy on him, were excluded.

And we took care of his request as he asked; as his death was before sunset and the prayer on him was performed after 'Eshaa'. And the time between his death and burial was less than three hours.

And in the hour of his burial, those present from his brothers, children, students, loved ones, friends, and relatives gathered, their number being close to 5000, or perhaps more.

And the prayer was performed outdoors in an open area, according to the Sunnah.

He was carried upon the shoulders of the people to the closest graveyard to his house, a privately-owned graveyard not open to the public. Allaah Alone granted us ease in getting him buried there, in a lahd [2], precisely according to the Sunnah once again.

Our teacher, the Shaykh, Muhammad bin Saalih Al-'Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him [3], called the family of Shaykh Naasir on the night of his death to console them for their loss, saying, "His entire life was an exemplification of the Sunnah, his living as well as his dying." May Allaah reward him.

I can not find words to close with regarding our Shaykh, the great scholar, except that I say about him what Al-Imaam Al-Haakim said about his shaykh, Al-Haafith Abee 'Alee An-Naysaabooree, may Allaah have Mercy on all of them:

"I do not say this as a dedicated fanatic since he was my teacher, but I simply never saw anything comparable to him." [4]

Re: Shaykh al-Albaanee

The Book of Falsehood: 'al-Albânî Unveiled'

A Response to the Book of Falsehood 'Al-Albaanee unveiled' and about Saqqaaf - Second Edition

The Background
This article is based around an extremely abreviated translation of 'al-Anwaar al-Kaashifah' of Shaykh Ali Hasan, his refutation of 'at-Tanaaqudaat' of Saqqaaf, prepared by brother Dawood Burbank. In this article I have added many more examples of the lies and concoctions of Hasan Ali as-Saqqaaf not only against Shaykh al-Albaanee but against other scholars as well, on top of this adding more detail to various points that brother Dawood, may Allaah reward him, only translated briefly. Furthermore I have replied to all of the 'counter refutations' by Saqqaaf to Shaykh Ali that reached me via the means of his followers in this country. To date Hasan Saqqaaf still persists in his lies and has refused to retract them, instead he continues to add lies on top of more lies and we pray that Allaah grants him the tawfeeq to repent for his slander and hatred of Ahlus Sunnah before he dies.

I have stated more than once in the article that any reader who still has doubt in what we write, then let him recourse to the work 'at-Tanaaqudaat' of Hasan Saqqaaf and compare his claims to the written words of al-Albaanee and by the Grace of Allaah the truth will become clear to him. The point of this article is not to show that al-Albaanee is error free or even contradiction free for by the grace of Allaah, He has given Shaykh al-Albaanee the quality of readily accepting and correcting himself when his errors are shown to him.

Throughout the works of al-Albaanee we find that he corrects himself, asks others to correct him and supplicates for them when they do so. On many occasions we find him, during the course of replying to attacks directed against him by his opponents, accepting some of their points as genuine and correcting himself.

Many of the students of Shaykh al-Albaanee have, with his permission, outlined his mistakes within their own works or in separate volumes devoted to this, examples of this lie with Shaykh Mashur Salmaan and Abu Ishaaq al-Huwaynee.

Therefore in conclusion, the purpose of replying to Hasan Saqqaaf is not because he has written a work outlining the mistakes of al-Albaanee. The purpose in replying is because of his filling the book with lies, slanders and concoctions, his incredibly rude and arrogant attitude, his total blindness to justice and his ignorance of the Science of Hadeeth.

I ask Allaah to guide us all to the straight Path and that He forgive any of my mistakes for they are from myself and Shaytaan.

​
Introduction
Truly all praise belongs to Allaah, we praise Him, we seek His aid and we seek his forgiveness. And we seek refuge with Allaah from the evils of our souls and from our wicked actions. He whom Allaah guides then no-one can misguide him, and he whom Allaah misguides then no-one can guide. I bear witness that there is no true god except Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (SAW) is His Slave and Messenger. [1]

Allaah says (translation of the meaning of):
"Why do you mix truth with falsehood, and conceal the truth knowingly?" [Family of Imraan (3):71]
​
And the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam said,
"Truly it is from the signs of the hour that knowledge will be sought from the small ones" (i.e the people of innovation, those on other than the path of the companions.) [2]
​
He, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam also said,
"He who defends his brother in his absence, Allaah will defend him in this world and in the Hereafter." [3]
​
Throughout history it has always been the case that the great pillars of Ahlus Sunnah have been slandered, abused and hated by the people of misguidance and innovation. Thus fulfilling the truth of the hadeeth of the Messenger, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam,
"There will always remain a group of my nation, manifest upon the truth. They will not be harmed by those that oppose them until the affair of Allaah comes about and they are like that." [4]
​
So of old Imaam ash-Shaafi'ee (RH) was accused of being a Raafidee Shee'a. Ibn Khuzaimah, Abu Ya'la, ibn Taymiyyah and others were accused of being mujassima and had lies heaped around them. And in this day and age the shaykh and muhaddith Muhammad Naasir ad-Deen al-Albaanee has had a similar attack launched against him by those that would obstruct the call to the sunnah of the Best of Creation, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, and would do all that they can to make their innovations widespread in the world. And we seek refuge with Allaah from them and their innovations.

Amongst these individuals is the Jordanian writer Hasan Ali as-Saqqaaf who wrote a three volume treatise entitled 'Tanaaqudaat al-Albaanee' (The Self-Contradictions of al-Albaanee) based upon which a work in the English Language was written entitled 'al-Albani Unveiled'

Unfortunately both of these books have conveyed many lies and distortions, and through these means have confused and misguided many people. Because of this we felt it our duty, as sincere advice to the Muslims, to produce this treatise outlining the lies of the liars and warning from the deviations that have polluted the pure sunnah of the Messenger, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam.

We know that when the supporters of Hasan Saqqaaf in this country see the following treatise many accusations of 'lies', 'mistranslation' and 'distortions' will fly about. Due to this reason we have included, at the end, all the Arabic sections in the works of al-Albaanee that we have translated from so that any person who doubts what follows may recourse to an Arabic speaking person and verify all that we have translated.

And we ask Allaah that he guide us to the truth, and make us firm in following the footsteps of our righteous predecessors.

Wa Aleykum Salam,

I just have to post part of this book, it just made me laugh at how ridicolous some authors are:

51: In the chapter on ‘The placing of hands in prayer’ the author of ‘Albani Unveiled’ mention the hadeeth of ibn Jareer al-Dabbi from his father who said,
"I saw Ali holding his left arm with his right on the wrist, above the navel"​

and quotes al-Albaanee saying in ‘The Prophets Prayer Described’ (pg 102-103), "this isnaad is candidate for the rank of hasan. Bayhaqi (1/301) firmly designated it to be hasan, and Bukhari (1/301) designated it with certainty while giving it an abridged, ta’leeq form."

The author then goes on to say (pg.31), " al-Albani claimed it was found in Bukhari (1/301), but when I examined the Sahih al-Bukhari (vol1, chapt 6, no 707, pg, 396, English ed.), I did not find the narration of ibn Jarir al-Dabbi (May Allaah be pleased with him) but instead a hadeeth from Sahl ibn Sa`ad....."

This is what the author states, betraying his ignorance of the science of hadeeth! For he looks for a hadeeth in the main text of Bukhaaree, but had he known what the term "ta`leeq" meant he would have found the statement al-Albaanee was referring to!

The ta’leeq form of a hadeeth is when the collector omits the whole isnaad or part of the isnaad on his end and quotes only the text of the hadeeth. This type of narration is commonly found in Saheeh al-Bukhaaree in his chapter headings. Secondly al-Albaanee said that Imaam Bukhaaree mentioned it in abridged form. So what we are looking for is a summary of the above hadeeth, occurring in a chapter heading or the likes.

The statement of Ali occurs in the Book of ‘Actions While Praying’ (2/160) in the first chapter that "Ali used to place his right hand upon his left...."

In ‘Fath al-Baaree’ (2/93) ibn Hajr makes clear that this statement is abridged from the hadeeth of ibn Jarir ad-Dabbi from his father, "that when Ali stood for prayer, he would make takbeer and place his right hand upon his left, and he remained like that until he made ruku’..." related by Muslim.

And as al-Albaanee states the wording of this hadeeth with al-Bayhaqi (1/301) is as given at the beginning of this point.​
