The classified strange for Abu Ubaid Al-Qasim bin Salama

The issue of Dar Sahnoun Tunisian publishing and distribution in a very large volume with 1200 pages on yellow suede paper, verified by Dr. Muhammad Al-Mukhtar Al-Ubaidi. They said about Abu Ubaid: Ibrahim Al-Harbi said: I have met three men whom the women will never be able to give birth to like them, I saw Abu Ubaid Al-Qasim bin Sallam, no one resembles him except a mountain infused with the spirit, and I saw Bishr bin Al-Harith, and I only compared him to a man kneaded from his horn to his foot with reason, and I saw Ahmad bin Hanbal, and it was as if Allah gathered for him the knowledge of the early ones from every category, he says what he wills and holds back what he wills. And Al-Hilal bin Al-Alaa Al-Raqi said: Allah favored this nation with four in their time: with Al-Shafi’i who understood the hadith of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and with Ahmad bin Hanbal, who remained steadfast in the trial; without that, people would have become disbelievers. And with Yahya bin Ma’in, who negated lying from the hadith of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. And with Abu Ubaid Al-Qasim bin Sallam, who explained the strange parts of the hadith of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him; without that, people would have fallen into error. And Thalab the grammarian said: If Abu Ubaid were among the Children of Israel, he would be a wonder. And Al-Jahiz said: Among the teachers, then the jurists and the hadith scholars, and among the grammarians and scholars of the Book and the Sunnah, and the abrogating and abrogated, and the strange hadith, and the grammar of the Qur'an, and those who gathered various types of knowledge, Abu Ubaid Al-Qasim bin Sallam, who was an educator. No one wrote more correct than his books, nor more beneficial. They said about the strange compiler: Among the language books is the book (Al-Gharib Al-Musannaf) by the highly esteemed Imam Abu Ubaid Al-Qasim bin Sallam, which he compiled over forty years and arranged by topics, containing about a thousand chapters, distributed in thirty books. His book was among the leading Arabic dictionaries of this type. Shamar said: No book by the Arabs is better than the compiler Abu Ubaid’s. And Abu Ubaid said about his book: This book is more beloved to me than ten thousand dinars. Ibrahim Al-Harbi said: Abu Ubaid does not have a book like Al-Gharib Al-Musannaf. And about Abbas Al-Khayyat, he said: I was with Abu Ubaid, and he passed by the house of Ishaq bin Ibrahim Al-Mawsili, and he said: His knowledge of hadith, jurisprudence, and poetry is very extensive, along with his care for sciences! I said: He reminds you of the opposite of this. He asked: And what is that? I said: He mentioned that you had misspelled in the compiler about twenty-two letters. He said: That is not much. In the book, there are ten thousand heard letters, and a mistake in them is minor. Perhaps if I examined them, I would have an excuse for it, and Ishaq only mentioned good things about him.
