About this work

هذا الكتاب لابن تيمية هو ردٌّ على بعض ما ورد في أحزاب الطريقة الشاذلية وما صُنِّف في آداب الطريق، حيث ينتقد المؤلف ما يراه من منكرات ومخالفات شرعية في تلك الأحزاب، مركزًا على مسائل التوكل والدعاء والعصمة. يبدأ الكتاب بمناقشة عبارة "وعلمك حسبي" وبيان ما يراه من مخالفتها للسنة، ثم يتناول بالتحليل والنقد مفاهيم أخرى كالعصمة من الذنوب والشكوك، واعتقادات بعض المنتسبين للشاذلية في القطب والغوث، مبينًا ما يراه من ضلال في فهم العبادة والشفاعة والدعاء.

Translation

This book by Ibn Taymiyyah is a response to some of what was mentioned in the parties of the Shadhiliyya order and what was classified in the etiquette of the road, where the author criticizes what he sees as evils and legal violations in those parties, focusing on the issues of trust, supplication, and infallibility. The book begins by discussing the phrase “And your knowledge is sufficient for me” and explaining what he sees as its contradiction to the Sunnah, then he analyzes and criticizes other concepts such as infallibility from sins and doubts, and the beliefs of some of those affiliated with the Shadhiliyya in Al-Qutb and Al-Ghawth, explaining what he sees as misguidance in understanding worship, intercession, and supplication.

Topics covered

Response to Al-Shazly regarding his two parties and his classification of road etiquette
Chapter: The second aspect: The evils in this party
The first place: His saying: (And your knowledge is sufficient for me)
The Sunnah is to say: God is sufficient for me, and God is sufficient for me, and the evidence for that
Mere knowledge is not enough for servants
The origin of this word is an Israeli trace, and the word is based on it
Kamal Al-Tawakkul
What was transmitted from the previous prophets and the criterion for accepting it
Knowing the Lord is not a substitute for prayer
The status of supplication and that it is one of the greatest reasons for achieving what is desired
The second place: His saying: (We ask you for infallibility in movements..)
This supplication is an assault and it is not permissible to pray with it
Their belief in it is hideous and it is worse than what the Christians say
Infallibility from sins does not happen to anyone other than the prophets by agreement
Whatever does not contradict the message, the prophets were not immune from it
The meaning of his saying: (suspicions, doubts, and illusions that conceal the hearts)
It can have two meanings. The first: infallibility from all doubt and suspicion
Respond to this possibility and invalidate it
If we assume the possibility of this possibility, it is not something that brings us closer to God
Their flaw in the concept of worship led them to this issue
Their misguidance in the concept of worship, intercession, and supplication
The reason for their arrogance is the false revelations that are said about them
Some of their exaggerations and lies
Karamat saints and when to use them
This is answered in two places
