Ibn al-Jawzi

282 books24 followers
Abu 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.

كتاب "المدهش"

وما أدراك ما كتاب "المدهش"
مِنْ أجمل ما ألف ابن الجوزي رحمه الله

به إشارات وعبارات وحكم ومواعظ، لا نظير لها، تأخذ بالقلب والوجدان.

مواعظ ممزوجة بالقرآن الكريم، بطريقة فذة ورائعة.

تشبيهات وكنايات فريدة من نوعها!

وأيضاً سيقوي الملكة اللغوية لديك، وسيجعلك تعشق اللغة العربية!

وهذا حدث معي والله، وقد قرأته مرات كثيرة

ونصيحة مني: لا تقرأه مرة، بل مرات ومرات

أول مرة ستجد شيئا من الصعوبة، ثم تبدأ تتلاشي شيئا فشيئا

وهذا الكتاب نقل منه ابن القيم نفسه في كتابيه "الفوائد" و"بدائع الفوائد" بلا عزو!

وأيضاً هذا الكتاب حتى الآن - فيما وصلنا لابن الجوزي - هو ثالث أكبر كتاب وعظي له بعد التبصرة والمنتخب في النوب.

ولك أن تتخيل!
أن ابن الجوزي رحمه الله ألفه في أواخر حياته وهو محبوس بواسط!

يعني ستجد فيه عصارة كتبه الوعظية تقريبا، أقول هذا وقد قرأت جميع كتبه الوعظية المطبوعة، والمخطوطة التي وقعت تحت يدي.

وهذه الطبعة، طبعة دار القلم، هي أفضل طبعة حتى الآن، وفيها أخطاء!، وما زال الكتاب يحتاج لتحقيق أجود من هذا!
وهذا رابط مباشر لهذه الطبعة، مجلدان(في مجلد واحد) :
