Books refuting Mahmud Sa’eed Mamduh

Bismillah

Following are some books in refutation of Mahmud Sa’eed Mamduh Ash-Shafa’i Al-Misri. To know about him read this.

[1] Aadab Az-Zafaaf fi As-Sunnah Al-Mutahharah

By Shaykh Muhammad Nasirud-Deen Al-Albani

Al-Maktaba Al-Islamiya, Oman, Ed. 1409AH

Although the book is regarding the different topic but the Shaykh has refuted some of  Mahmud Sa’eed’s point in the Muqaddimah (pg.49-71). He mainly pointed out the ignorance of Mahmud Sa’eed in his book Tanbeeh Al-Muslim with regards to the opinions of Ulama and verdicts of his own Shuyukh. While he critize the Shaykh for weakening some reports in Sahih Muslim and accuses him of contradicting the Ijma’, but actually his elders like Ahmed Al-Ghumari, Abdullah Al-Ghumari and Al-Kawthari, whom he highly respects, were foremost in criticizing some famous reports of Sahihayn.  Then he discusses some reports on the issue.

[2] Rid’ Al-Jani al-Muta’addi ‘ala al-Albani

by, Shaykh Tariq bin Awadhallah

This book was written in response of “Tanbeeh Al-Muslim” by Mahmud Sa’eed which was written to show that Al-Albani broke Ijma’ by criticizing the hadith of Sahih Muslim. Mahmud Sa’eed, in his book, listed several hadith which according to him were declared weak by Shaykh Al-Albani. Shaykh Tariq in this book showed that in most cases Shaykh Al-Albani would only declare the isnad to be weak while he would declare the hadith to be Sahih. Many a time he would state this in the same place which was quoted by Shaykh Al-Albani, but Mahmud Sa’eed would ignore it and quotes only the part which suites his agenda. Among fifty narrations mentioned by Mamduh, only ten are those which were declared to be weak by Shaykh. Shaykh Tariq then goes on to discuss all the ten hadith one by one. The book is very beneficial as this is not just a refutation, but it also has lots of beneficial discussion on hadith based topic especially regarding the authenticity of Sahihayn.

[1] Refuting the bigot adamant who forbids from criticism of Yazeed

الرد علي المتعصب العنيد المانع من ذم يزيد

By Abul Faraj Ibn Al-Jawzi

Tahqeeq. Dr. Haytham Abdussalam Muhammad

Dar Ul-Kutub Al-‘Ilmiyyah

 

Introduction

This book was written by Imam Ibn Al-Jawzi to prove that it was ok to curse Yazeed bin Mu’awiyah. The book was actually a refutation of Abdul Mugheeth Al-Hanbali who wrote in defence and praise of Yazeed. Regarding his book “Fadha’il Yazeed” (Virtues of Yazeed), Ibn Katheer said, “He came up with weird things in this book, and this was refuted by Ibn Al-Jawzi and he was correct in his refutation”. Similarly Dhahabi and Ibn Al-Atheer also criticized book of Abdul Mugheeth Al-Hanbali.

Regarding Yazeed bin Mu’awiyah scholars are divided into several group:

1. Those who consider him Kaffir. This view is attributed to Mahmud Shukri Al-Aalusi and Ibn Aqeel Al-Hanbali.

2. Those who do not declare him Kafir. These are further divided into two groups:

(A) Those who allow cursing of Yazid. This is attributed to Imam Ahmed, Qadhi Abu Ya’la, Ibn Abi Ya’la, Khallal, Ibn Al-Jawzi, Safareeni, Taftazani, Suyuti etc

(B) Those who do not allow cursing. This group include Al-Ghazali, Ibn Sallah, Ibn Taymiyya, Al-Haytami etc.

Then he goes on mentioning comments of all those scholars who attributed Nasb to Ibn Taymiyya. The author divided them in two groups:

1. Those who accused him of Nasb based on their misunderstanding of Shaykh’s statement. This includes Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani.

2. Those who had some hatred towards Shaykh Ul-Islam. This includes Ibn Hajar Al-Haytami, Al-Kawthari, Al-Ghumari, As-Saqqaf, Al-Habashi etc.
