رسالة التنزيه في تنقية الشعائر الحسينية - العلاّمة السيد محسن الأمين العامليه
Risalah al Tanzih by Syed Muhsin al Amin
بل لم ينقل ناقل أن احداً فعلها من عوام الشيعة ولا أن أحداً أجازها من علمائهم في الأعصار التي كانت ملوك البلاد الإسلامية فيها كلها شيعة وذلك في العصر البويهي الذي كان ملك فارس والعراق وغيرها فيه لآل بويه ولم يكن لخلفاء بني العباس معهم إلا الإسم، وملك الشامات والجزيرة لبني حمدان وملك مصر وأفريقيا والمغرب للفاطميين وكان في عصرهم من أجلاء علماء الشيعة وعظمائهم أمثال الشيخ المفيد والشريفين المرتضى والرضي مع ما كان عليه بنو بويه من التشدد في نشر إقامة العزاء حتى كانت في زمانهم تعطل الأسواق في بغداد يوم عاشوراء وتقام مراسم العزاء فيها وفي الطرقات ولم ينقل أحد أنه وقع في زمانهم شيء من جرح الرؤوس بالسيوف والمدى
Rather, (any) reporter (historian) did not mention that anyone from the Shia public performed it (violent Muharram rituals such as tatbir) or that one of their scholars permitted it, in the era in which all the kings of the Islamic countries were Shia. That is the period in which al Buhaivi (founder of the Buyid regime) was the king of Persia and Iraq, and other countries were ruled by his family/progeny. And the Abbasid caliphs did not share the rule with them except by name (as figureheads). Syrian region and the Island was ruled by Bani Hamdan and the rulers of Egypt, Africa and the Maghreb were the Fatimids. And in their age there were great Shia scholars such as Shaikh Mufid, Sharif al Murtada and Syed al Radhi (ra), on top of that the extremism of the Buyids in propagating the establishment of Muharram's mourning ceremonies/rituals to the extent that on Ashura the markets of Baghdad would be closed and Muharram mourning ceremonies/rituals took place on the roads, despite this no one reports that anything such as injuring the heads with swords and its like took place in that period.
Asalaam Alaikum knowledgable Akhi,
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me through the hadith how we should mourn for Imam al-Husayn عليه السلام?
I am a new Shi`a learning about our Tashayyu and in sha Allah akhis like you can help me with providing English translations of hadith from our Imams عليهم السلام
Wasalam,
A Learning Shi`a
Do you also know where I can learn Arabic? I am an English speaker if that helps.
ReplyDelete@Learning shia: Wa'laikum assalam,
ReplyDeleteBrother, I'm not knowledgeable, I'm just a learner.
As for how to mourn for Imam Hussain (as) according to hadith, the best ever way is to actually do a visitation of the grave of Imam Hussain (as) in Karbala, Iraq. It is the best ever act and a very good way to pay respect and express your grief upon his (as) martyrdom. Here is a hadith about it.
http://realtashayyu.blogspot.com/2011/07/ziyarah-visitation-of-imam-hussain-as.html
Also, for those who are capable and can afford it, it is obligatory on them to visit his (as) grave. Here are ahadith about it.
http://realtashayyu.blogspot.com/2011/06/visitation-of-graves-of-imams-as.html
For those who can not visit Karbala, they can send their salutations/greetings upon Imam Hussain (as) by this method:

Apart from that, it is strongly recommended to mourn for Imam Hussain (as) by simply crying your heart out for him (as), there are countless rewards by Allah (swt) for crying for Imam Hussain (as), even if it is only one tear.
Here are some ahadith about crying for Imam Hussain (as):

As for learning Arabic, I guess for a complete beginner it would be best to enroll in an Arabic course being offered by the Language centre in a local university. It isn't at all necessary to learn Arabic from a religious scholar, it is perfectly fine to learn it from an Arabic teacher at a university.
ReplyDeleteApart from that there are many online resources available. I think these books/resources are very good.

These are also good:

Apart from these there are many other online resources, youtube also has some good Arabic teaching videos in English. I guess you'll need to experiment and see what suits you best.
Hope that helps.
Wassalam
salam alaykum brother. this sanad is sahih?
ReplyDeleteحدثنا أبو محمد جعفر بن علي بن أحمد الفقيه القمي ثم الإيلاقيرضي الله عنه قال أخبرنا أبو محمد الحسن بن محمد بن علي بن صدقه القمي قال حدثنيأبو عمرو محمد بن عمر بن عبد العزيز الأنصاري الكجي قال حدثني من سمع الحسن بنمحمد النوفلي ثم الهاشمي يقول

@Velayet: Wa'laikum assalam brother,
ReplyDeleteTaking a quick look, the sanad would be considered problematic because of al Hasan b. Muhammad al Nofali, there is a lot of disagreement/confusion over him.
Tafrishi says in Naqd al rijal:
والظاهر أنّه اشتبه عليه
Apparently there's confusion about him.
http://rafed.net/books/rejal/naqd-alrejal-2/05.html#151
Khoei discusses it in much more detail here:
http://www.al-khoei.us/books/index.php?id=7312
Note: I'm just speaking about the sanad, I'm not saying the hadith is weak. The hadith is acceptable.
salam alaykum brother. i can wait, please give me about this sanad.
ReplyDeleteApart from the problem with al Hasan b. Muhammad al Nofali, the sanad is also mursal because one of the person's name in the sanad is missing "حدثني من سمع"( Told me SOMEONE who heard..), it's not known who that "someone" is.
ReplyDeleteWassalam
