Al-Uqud al-DurriyyaIbn Abd al-Hadi

One of the poets said regarding Shaykh al-Islam Taqī al-Dīn—may Allah sanctify his soul—:

Praise be to Allah—praise perpetual, everlasting, blessed, wholesome, beyond all reckoning.
Then blessings upon the Guide, his Household, his Companions, and his elite kinsfolk who attained felicity;
Through them—who are the finest hope, the noblest refuge, the greatest aim for every seeker (1)—
Allah has fulfilled for the pious what He promised them, by lifting an ordeal that had struck an Imām of guidance.
He reconciled hearts, the crisis was relieved, and hardships whose terrors had riveted iron mail were undone.
Allah sheathed a sword that had been brandished and extinguished an ember that had flared.
He united the hearts upon piety, showed them the paths to guidance, and granted them right direction.
Thus the people awoke to pure serenity without turbidity, after each soul had lived a bitter life.
It is truly a promise binding upon Allah: He grants victory to whoever supports His cause; the Qur’an itself bears witness to this.
It proved no ordeal, but a bounty that combined a hidden grace with a grace visible to every eye.
Within it are insights for those who would discern, and eyewitnesses inform the absent of what transpired.
So persevere in thanking a blessing like life-giving rain: it showered all mankind and warded harm from every creature.
Oh, what a favour it is—universal safety for a man for whom lives would be ransomed, a safety seldom bestowed!
He is the Imām whom the jurists have always regarded as a mujtahid in every ruling.
If someone asks, “Who is he?”—delight in the question and reply: “The descendant of Ibn Taymiyyah; take him as a firm support.”

وقال بعضهم في شيخ الإسلام تقيّ الدين ــ قدَّس الله روحه ــ: الحمد لله حمدًا دائمًا أبدَا ... مباركًا طيِّبًا يستغرق العددا ثم الصلاة على الهادي وعِتْرته ... وصحبه وذويه الصفوة السُّعَدا بهم وهم خير مأمول وأكرم مَرْ ... جُوٍّ وأعظم مقصود لمن قَصَدا (١) قد أنجز الله للأبرار ما وُعدوا ... من رَفْع نازلة مَسَّت إمام هدى وأصلح الله ذاتَ البين وانفرجت ... شدائدٌ فكَّكت أهوالُها الزردا وأغمد الله سيفًا كان مُشتهرًا ... وأطفأ الله جمرًا كان قد وَقَدا وألَّف الله ما بين القلوب على التْـ ... ـتَقوى، وعرَّفها طُرْق الهدى وهدى فأصبح الناس في صفوٍ بلا كدَرٍ ... من بعدما كان كلٌّ عَيشُه نَكِدا وَعْدًا على الله حقًّا نصرُ ناصره ... كذا عليه به القرآن قد شهدا ولم تكن محنة، بل منحة جمعت ... لُطْفًا خفيًّا، ولطفًا للعيون بدا فيها بصائر للمستبصرين بها ... يُنْبي لمن غاب عنها مَنْ لها شهدا فداوِموا شكر نُعْمَى كالحيا وكَفَتْ ... على الورى وكَفَت كلّ الأنام ردى فيا لها نعمة عمّت سلامة من ... بالروح يُفدى وقلَّت أن تكون فدا فهو الإمام الذي ما زال عند ذوي الـ ... أحكام في سائر الأحكام مجتهدا إن قيل من هو؟ فاطرَبْ عند ذاك وقل: ... نَجْل ابن تيميَّة فاشدد به عضدا
