Presentation

Presentation of the book from greenmountainschool.org

One cannot overestimate the value of Imam Ibn ‘Ata’Illah, may Allah be pleased with him, in preserving the teachings of the Shadhdhuliyyah, since he was the first to write them down. Both Imam Abu’l-Hasan ash-Shadhdhuli and his successor Imam Abu’l ‘Abbas al-Mursi, may Allah be pleased with them, never wrote any books on the Path. When asked why, Abu’l-Hasan replied, “My companions are my books.” Be that as it may, the teachings would not have survived down to this day as they have if Allah had not inspired Ibn ‘Ata’Illah to put them into written form.

One of the main reasons why this specific book is so fundamental is that it deals with a cardinal doctrine of the Shadhdhuli teaching, namely, the ceasing of self-direction and management in favour of choosing the management and direction of Allah (isqat at-tadbir). A major subject, to which actually half the book is devoted, is rizq, or provision and daily sustenance.

Ibn ‘Ata’Illah deals with the proper approach to acquiring one’s daily provision, the proper manners of withholding it and spending it, and most importantly, how and why one should not waste one’s energy in anxiety over it. In this respect, the Way of the Shadhdhuliyyah, unlike some of the other ways of Sufism, does not call for a life of begging and mendicancy, but rather teaches its adherents to live a life of intense contemplation in the midst of the worldly means of livelihood. In other words, ‘being in the world but not of the world.’ And the importance of this book can also be seen in the method it teaches the reader of how to apply this advice.

Commentaries

Commentaries:
In 893/1488, Zakariya al-Ansari, who had an ijaza, for teaching the Risala that went back to Abu’l-Mahasin ‘Abd al-Wahid ar-Ruyani, a pupil of al-Qushayri, wrote a commentary on difficult or obscure terms and passages of the Risala entitled Ahkam ad-Dalala ‘ala Tahrir ar-Risala. Al-Ansari’s work was greatly expanded in 1271/1854 by Mustafa Muhammad al-‘Arusi (an adherent of the Arusi branch of the Shadhili order) with his Nata’ij al-Afkar fi Bayan Ma’ani Sharh ar-Risala al-Qushayriya. Two other commentaries in Arabic remain in manuscript: Sadid ad-Din Abu Muhammad al-Lakhmi’s ad-Dalala ‘ala Fawa’id ar-Risala, completed in 638/1240, and one by the celebrated Herati scholar, Mulla ‘Ali al-Qari’ (d. 1014/1605). There is also a partial commentary in Persian by Sayyid Muhammad Gisudaraz (d. 825/1422), the well-known Indian Chishti; he criticizes al-Qushayri in several connections. (Gibril Haddad in his Bio on Imam al-Qushayri)

eş-ŞEMÂİLÜ’n-NEBEVİYYE

(الشمائل النبويّة)

Tirmizî’nin (ö. 279/892) Resûl-i Ekrem’in şemâiline dair eseri.

Tam adı eş-Şemâilü’n-nebeviyye ve’l-hasailü’l-Muśtafaviyye olup şemâil konusunda yapılan ilk çalışmadır ve elli altı başlık altında 424 (bazı neşirlerde 394, 395) hadisten meydana gelmektedir. Bu başlıklarda Resûlullah’ın dış görünüşü, kıyafeti, yemesi içmesi, konuşma şekli, ibadeti, ahlâkı, geçim tarzı ve ölümü ele alınmıştır. Eser tertip ve muhteva bakımından şemâil konusunda yazılan eserlerin en mükemmeli kabul edilmiştir. Tirmizî bu eserine el-Câmiu’ś-śaĥîĥ’inde yer alan şemâille ilgili hadislerin birçoğunu aynen, bir kısmını ihtisar ederek almış, râviler hakkındaki tenkitlerini bazan hiç değiştirmeden, bazan kısaltıp nakletmiştir. eş-Şemâilü’n-nebeviyye’deki hadislerin büyük çoğunluğu sahih, önemli bir kısmı hasen, pek azı zayıf rivayetlerdir. Müellif bazı hadislerden elde edilebilecek fıkhî meselelere de işaret etmiştir. Çeşitli kütüphanelerde pek çok nüshası bulunan eser (Sezgin, I/1, s. 304) Kalküta’da (1252, 1262, 1273), Delhi’de (1303), Leknev’de (1288), Lahor’da (1309), İstanbul’da (1264, 1285), Kahire’de (1273, taşbaskı, 1309, 1375, son iki baskı Bâcûrî’nin eş-Şemâilü’n-nebeviyye üzerine yazdığı el-Mevâhibü’l-ledünniyye adlı hâşiyesinin kenarında, nşr. Tâhâ Abdürraûf Sa‘d, 1988), Bulak’ta (1280, 1290), Fas’ta (1310) ve Humus’ta (nşr. İzzet Ubeyd ed-De‘âs, 1388/1968, Beyrut 1406/1985; nşr. Abdullah eş-Şa‘âr, 1992) yayımlanmıştır.
