-=[Mastering the Recitation]

The reciters of the Qurʾān put an incredible amount of effort into perfecting their recitation under their teachers. They would recite the Qurʾān, from cover to cover, in order to master every single aspect of the recitation. Here are some examples:
- Abū Muḥammad al-Khuzāʿī recited under Ibn Fulayḥ 27 times and al-Bazzī 30 times.

- Abū ʿĀliyah recited under Ubay, Zayd, and Ibn ʿAbbās. He also recited under ʿOmar 3 or 4 times.

- Mujāhid recited under Ibn ʿAbbās over 20 times.
- Qālūn says that he lost count on the number of times he recited under Nāfiʿ.

- Yūsuf bin ʿOmar recited under Warsh 20 times.

- Muḥammad bin Ġālib recited under Shujāʿ 10 times.

- Al-Tammār recited under Ruways 47 times.

- Ibn Mujāhid recited under Ibn ʿAbdūs 20 times.
- Ḥamdān bin ʿAwn recited under Aḥmad bin Hilāl 300 times.

- Al-Ḥasan bin Dāwūd recited under al-Qāsim bin Muḥammad 40 times.

- Abū Ḥayyān al-Andalusī recited under ʿAbdul Ḥaq bin ʿAlī 20 times.

- Al-Wazzān recited under Khallād 10 times.
- Warsh recited under Nāfiʿ 4 times.

- Abū al-Ḥasan al-Qayrawānī recited under al-Qaṣrī 90 times.

Just because it is written by a Harvard professor doesn't mean that you don't need to check the references!

So, I was reading this interesting line by Shady Hekmat about Qunbul's character, which reflects negatively on his role as a reciter of the Qurʾān.

Well, the only problem here is that by returning to the Arabic reference, which happens to be Abū Ghudda's edition of Lisān al-Mīzān, we find it saying: "He became chief of the police in Makkah and he was PRAISED."

Isn't that strange? So... How did this happen?

Well, firstly, let us establish that Ibn Ḥajar did have it as "and he was praised" and not "but he grew corrupt".

The image on the left is from a manuscript that indicates this and the one right shows that the copy was reviewed by Ibn Ḥajar himself.

I came across an interesting interpretation by Ibn Abbas today which pushed me to ponder about the Prophet's ﷺ relationship with the Jews of his time.

Ibn Abbas says that the verse below is about the Jews hiding the punishment of stoning adulterers. (al-Mustadrak #8069) Image
At the time, the Jews of Arabia only lashed adulterers.

Ibn Omar narrates that when the Jews were asked about the punishment for adultery, they mentioned lashings.

al-Bukhari #6819

An additional punishment is mentioned in this report and in others.
This report mentions that they have their faces blackened with charcoal. Another report mentions that the couple were placed on a donkey and were sent around town in shame.

Either way, this punishment wasn't in any way as severe as stoning, so the Jews were satisfied with it.

During my first year of college, my roommate was the nicest person in the world.

He was a religion brother. Super friendly. Almost every time he'd pass by, he would have a chocolate bar or something and would offer it to me, for no reason other than to be nice.

He had such an--
odd sense of humor though. In the middle of a conversation, he would abruptly calculate the cost of something.

If I would drop a friend to class, he'd pretending to calculate the fuel expenses, wear and tear of the short trip, time costs, etc, then give a ridiculously large--
number as the final price. He did it very often. I was forced to tolerate it and smile, BECAUSE HE WAS SO NICE!

You know the type, right? The old shaikh in the masjid that makes the lame pun, but you feel obligated to laugh along to not make him feel bad. Yeah, that.

Lacking in foundations while getting into polemics is a huge problem.

Your beliefs will not be based on texts, but will be reactions to criticisms of opponents.

Double-standards will emerge due to not being familiar with your own ideology and texts.
I once had a heated debate with a Sunni who tried to weaken Ma'mar. His reasons were reactionary to criticisms by a Shi'i.

He wasn't aware that Ma'mar was one of the most relied upon narrators in the Saheehain.

No student of hadith would ever made this mistake.
The same applies to fiqhi matters.

Hypothetically, some would say: "Do you know that their scholars say this? That is so perverted!"

Ironically, scholars that they hold in high regard said the same.

However, the cynical point-scoring mentality prevents objective criticisms.

-=[On this day, around 1200 years ago, Shia claimed that the "Mahdi" was born in Samarra'.]

However, his father, Al-Hasan, feared for his life from the tyrant Abbasids, and thus, his son was sent to Madinah and was hidden away.

He still remains hidden today.
Sunnis reject the existence of Mohammad bin Al-Hassan, due to the lack of evidence for his birth.

Ja'afar bin Ali Al-Zakee, the uncle of the "Mahdi", also denied that his brother, Al-Hassan, had a son.

Shias refer to him as "Ja'afar the Liar" due to this.
This wasn't merely the opinion of Ja'afar though. This was a common view. Al-Amri, the "representative" of the "Mahdi" would conceal his name for "they think that the lineage has halted."

Saying that Al-Albani was influencial in the field of hadith sciences is an understatement.

Rather, he brought back to life a field that was once dead.

Below, some works that were dedicated to compliment his achievements. Image
These works focus on Al-Albani's gems when it came to hadith terminology and other beneficial information that is hard to come across. Image
Books of su'alaat were not restricted to the pious predecessors like Yahya and Ahmad.

Al-Albani had students that would flood him with hadith related questions as well. Image
