Al-Uqud al-DurriyyaIbn Abd al-Hadi

to the graves (1); for the reply of the scholars of this land was conveyed to their counterparts among the learned and their peers among the people of virtue, and every one of them ruled that the answer he had given was the correct one.

It is obvious to all mankind that honoring this Imām and treating him with veneration and respect ensures (2) the stability of the kingdom, the order of the state, the exaltation of the religious community (3), the attraction of supplications, the crushing of enemies, the humiliation of the people of innovation and caprice, the revival of the umma, the removal of distress, abundant reward, elevated renown, the lifting of hardship, and benefit to the populace (4).

The very tongue of the Muslims now recites the words of the Most Great, the Most High: “So when they came before him they said, ‘O noble one, hardship has befallen us and our family, and we have brought but paltry merchandise; so grant us full measure and be charitable toward us—surely Allah rewards the charitable’” (Yūsuf 12:88).

The paltry merchandise is these pages written with our pens, while the provision we seek is the release of Shaykh al-Islām. What impelled me to make this appeal is the Prophet’s—peace and blessings be upon him—saying (5): “Religion is sincere counsel.” And peace.

May Allah bless our master Muhammad and his good, pure family (6), and grant them abundant peace. This is the end of this book.

(1) The remaining manuscripts read: ziyarat al-qubur (visiting graves). (2) F, K, and Ṭ read: fihi qawam (therein lies stability). (3) The words wa-izzaz al-millah (and the strengthening of the religion) are absent from B. (4) The phrase wa-rafʿ al-baʾs (and the removal of affliction) is missing in B, while wa-nafʿ al-nas (and benefiting people) is missing in F. (5) The expression qawluhu sallallahu ʿalayhi wa-sallam (his—peace be upon him—saying) does not appear in B; the hadith’s citation has already been supplied above. (6) F and K read: al-kiram (the noble ones).
إلى القبور (١)؛ فقد حُمِلَ جوابُ علماء هذه البلاد إلى نظرائهم من العلماء، وقُرَنائهم من الفضلاء، وكلُّهم أفتى أنَّ الصواب في الذي به أجاب. والظاهر بين الأنام أنَّ إكرام هذا الإمام، ومعاملته بالتبجيل والاحترام؛ فيه من (٢) قوام الملك، ونظام الدولة، وإعزاز الملَّة (٣)، واسْتِجْلاب الدعاء، وكَبْتِ الأعداء، وإذلال أهل البدع والأهواء، وإحياء الأمة، وكشف الغُمَّة، ووفور الأجر، وعُلُوِّ الذِّكْر، ورفع البأس، ونفع الناس (٤). ولسانُ حال المسلمين تالي قول الكبير المتعال: ﴿فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ قَالُوا يَاأَيُّهَا الْعَزِيزُ مَسَّنَا وَأَهْلَنَا الضُّرُّ وَجِئْنَا بِبِضَاعَةٍ مُزْجَاةٍ فَأَوْفِ لَنَا الْكَيْلَ وَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْنَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَجْزِي الْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ﴾ [يوسف: ٨٨]. والبضاعة المزجاةُ: هي هذه الأوراق المرقومة بالأقلام، والمِيرة المطلوبة: هي الإفراج عن شيخ الإسلام. والذي حَمَل على هذا الإقدام قولُه ﵇ (٥): «الدينُ النصيحة» والسلام. وصلى الله على سيدنا محمدٍ وآله الطيبين الطاهرين (٦)، وسلَّم تسليمًا. هذا آخر هذا الكتاب. ***
