Golden Fragments: Messages and Chapters for the Imam Al-Hafiz Al-Muarrikh Shams al-Din Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Uthman al-Dhahabi

Abdul Rahman bin Hassan Qa'id Al-Dhahab Messages and Chapters for Imam Al-Dhahabi Second Edition Author: Dr. Abdul Rahman bin Hassan Qa'id Overview Al-Dhahab's messages and chapters for the حافظ الإمام الذهبي (Imam Al-Dhahabi) A fine collection that includes nuggets of gold from Imam Al-Dhahabi, the historian of Islam, the حافظ of the era, the knight of criticism, the sheikh of fairness, and the rest of his scholarly legacy, written in his distinctive style. It serves as a testimony to his reading of a group of eminent figures of his time concerning Hadith and related sciences, and clarifies their ranks in terms of eloquence, mistakes, patience, and speed. His message, in which he named the heads and notable figures of this nation, arranged by centuries, mentioning in each century who was the caliph, then who was the head of scholars, narrators, reciters, and ascetics, according to his own scholarly judgment. A section about those who were unique in their time, including those who excelled in a particular field, craft, or virtue that no one else matched, whether good or otherwise. These are the ones who are exemplified in those arts, crafts, and morals. A section on the ruling regarding singing, which Al-Dhahabi concluded with the part called "The Permissibility of Singing and Music with Its Conditions," which he summarized from the book "Al-Ittifaq fi Ahkam al-Sama'" by Al-Adhawi. Another separate and detailed issue concerning the topic of singing and music. The concluding section, a comprehensive ethical and spiritual advice, covering what a person should be like in knowledge, work, and self-purification. These nuggets were organized into this collection, and it is beautiful. I cared for them as much as I could, though it is modest, and I strived to verify them according to my knowledge, which is limited. I attached appendices in the hope they will be beneficial. It took me years to compile and prepare this work, which Allah made a good effort and righteous deed. The editor Details Number of pages: 184 Book size: 17×24 Publishing house: Afaq Al-Ma'rifah
