Golden specks

Fragments of gold, messages and chapters for the memorizer, Imam Al-Dhahabi. A gentle collection that includes fragments of gold from Imam Al-Dhahabi, the historian of Islam, the preservation of the era, the knight of criticism, and the sheikh of fairness, along with other chapters and messages from his scholarly heritage. As a testimony to his reading of a group of the scholars of his time regarding hadith and related sciences, and to clarify their ranks in terms of eloquence, style, patience, and speed. And his message in which he named the heads of this nation and its eminent figures, arranged by centuries, mentioning in each century who was the caliph, then who was the head of jurists, hadith scholars, reciters, and ascetics, according to his own ijtihad. And a section on those who were unique in their time, mentioning those who excelled in a particular art, craft, or virtue that no one else matched, whether good or otherwise, and whom people are exemplified by in those arts, crafts, and morals. And a section on the ruling on singing, which Al-Dhahabi made the conclusion of his part titled "The Permissibility of Singing and Music with Its Conditions," which he summarized from the book "Enjoyment in the Rules of Listening" by Al-Adfawi. And another detailed issue on the topic of singing and listening. And the conclusion of the necklace, a comprehensive will that encompasses what a person should be like in knowledge, action, and self-purification. These fragments are arranged in this necklace, and it is beautiful. I cared for them to the extent of my ability, though it is little, and I strived to verify them according to my knowledge, which is also little. I attached appendices in hopes they will be beneficial, and I spent years in their preparation, which Allah made a good effort and righteous work. The editor: Taha Abdulrahman Hassan Qaed.
