About the author
Ibn al-Jawzi
280 books25 followersAbu al-Faraj Jamal al-Din Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Hasan Ali Al-Jawzi also known as Ibn al-Jawzi (c. 1116 – 16 June 1201) (Arabic: ابن الجوزي) was a Muslim jurisconsult, preacher, orator, heresiographer, traditionist, historian, judge, hagiographer, and philologist who played an instrumental role in propagating the Hanbali school of orthodox Sunni jurisprudence in his native Baghdad during the twelfth-century. During "a life of great intellectual, religious and political activity," Ibn al-Jawzi came to be widely admired by his fellow Hanbalis for the tireless role he played in ensuring that that particular school – historically, the smallest of the four principal Sunni schools of law – enjoy the same level of "prestige" often bestowed by rulers on the Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanafi rites.
Ibn al-Jawzi received a "very thorough education" during his adolescent years, and was fortunate to train under some of that era's most renowned Baghdadi scholars, including Ibn al-Zāg̲h̲ūnī (d. 1133), Abū Bakr al-Dīnawarī (d. 1137–8), Sayyid Razzāq Alī Jīlānī (d. 1208), and Abū Manṣūr al-Jawālīkī (d. 1144–5). Although Ibn al-Jawzi's scholarly career continued to blossom over the next few years, he became most famous during the reign of al-Mustadi (d. 1180), the thirty-third Abbasid caliph, whose support for Hanbalism allowed Ibn al-Jawzi to effectively become "one of the most influential persons" in Baghdad, due to the caliph's approval of Ibn al-Jawzi's public sermonizing to huge crowds in both pastoral and urban areas throughout Baghdad. In the vast majority of the public sermons delivered during al-Mustadi's reign, Ibn al-Jawzi often presented a stanch defense of the prophet Muhammad's example, and vigorously criticized all those whom he considered to be schismatics in the faith. At the same time, Ibn al-Jawzi's reputation as a scholar continued to grow due to the substantial role he played in managing many of the most important universities in the area, as well as on account of the sheer number of works he wrote during this period. As regards the latter point, part of Ibn al-Jawzi's legacy rests on his reputation for having been "one of the most prolific writers" of all time. As scholars have noted, Ibn al-Jawzi's prodigious corpus, "varying in length" as it does, touches upon virtually "all the great disciplines" of classical Islamic study.

كان معروف الكرخي قاعداً على دجلة في بغداد، اذ مر بنا احداث في زورق يضربون الملاهي ويشربون، فقال اصحاب معروف له: يا ابا محفوظ ما ترى هؤلاء يعصون الله في الماء! ادع عليهم
فرفع يده الى السماء فقال : (الهي وسيدي ومولاي، اني اسألك ان تفرحهم في الجنة كما فرحتهم في الدنيا)
فقال له اصحابه: قلنا لك ادع الله عليهم ولم نقل ادع الله لهم !
فقال معروف: (اذا فرحهم في الاخرة تاب عليهم في الدنيا ولم يضركم شيء! )
.
هذا هو معروف الكرخي رحمه الله
.
جهد مشكور للاستاذ ابراهيم الجبوري وتحقيق ممتاز.
الكتاب مجملاً جيد، رغم ان بعض القصص والروايات غير موثوقة، بينها الجبوري في هوامش الكتاب.
.
* لم اكن اعلم من قبل ان احمد ابن حنبل و الجنيد و السري السقطي وبشر الحافي و ابو يوسف القاضي والكثير من اعلام الاسلام دفنوا في بغداد وقبورهم قائمة ومعروفة، لكنها مهجورة ومتروكة وبلا اهتمام!
