[28 Jumada al-Ula 1318 – 24 Dhu al-Qi'dah 1392 AH]

مِنْ سِبْتَمْبَرَ سَنَةَ .. " كَانَ ٣٠ مِنْ دِيسَمْبَرَ سَنَةَ ١٩٧٢ مِنَ الْمِيلَادِ

[23 September... to 30 December 1972 AD]

لَقَدْ قِيلَ فِي الطَّبَرِيِّ ، إِنَّهُ كَانَ كَالْقَارِىءِ الَّذِي لَا يَعْرِفُ إِلَّا الْقُرْآنَ ، وَكَالْمُحَدِّثِ الَّذِي لَا يَعْرِفُ إِلَّا الْحَدِيثَ ، وَكَالْفَقِيهِ الَّذِي لَا يَعْرِفُ إِلَّا الْفِقْهَ ، وَكَالنَّحْوِيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَعْرِفُ إِلَّا النَّحْوَ ، وَكَالْحَاسِبِ الَّذِي لَا يَعْرِفُ إِلَّا الْحِسَابَ ، وَكَذَا يُقَالُ فِي الشَّيْخِ مُحْيِي الدِّينِ ؛ إِنَّهُ كَالنَّحْوِيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَعْرِفُ إِلَّا النَّحْوَ ، وَكَالْفَقِيهِ الَّذِي لَا يَعْرِفُ إِلَّا الْفِقْهَ ، وَكَالْمُحَدِّثِ الَّذِي لَا يَعْرِفُ إِلَّا الْحَدِيثَ ، وَكَالْمُتَكَلِّمِ الَّذِي لَا يَعْرِفُ إِلَّا الْكَلَامَ ، وَآيَةُ ذَلِكَ مَا أَلَّفَهُ وَأَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ الْكُتُبِ فِي هَذِهِ الْفُنُونِ

It was said of al-Tabari that he was like a reciter who knew only the Quran, a hadith scholar who knew only hadith, a jurist who knew only jurisprudence, a grammarian who knew only grammar, and a mathematician who knew only mathematics. The same is said of Sheikh Muhyi al-Din: he was a grammarian who knew only grammar, a jurist who knew only jurisprudence, a hadith scholar who knew only hadith, and a theologian who knew only theology. The proof lies in the books he authored and published in these various disciplines.

الْعَلَّامَةُ مُحَمَّدٌ عَلِيُّ النَّجَّارُ عُضْوُ مَجْمَعِ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ

The scholar Muhammad Ali al-Najjar, member of the Academy of the Arabic Language.

الدِّينِ نَزَّاعًا لِلْعِلْمِ شَغُوفًا بِهِ مُنْذُ نَشْأَتِهِ الْأُولَى ، إِذْ تَرَبَّى فِي بَيْتِ فِقْهٍ وَقَضَاءٍ ؛ لِأَنَّ وَالِدَهُ الشَّيْخَ عَبْدَ الْحَمِيدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ مِنْ رِجَالِ الْقَضَاءِ وَالْفُتْيَا ، وَلَهُ صِلَاتٌ قَوِيَّةٌ بِزُمَلَائِهِ ، وَالصَّفْوَةِ مِنْ عُلَمَاءِ بِيئَتِهِ ، فَكَانُوا يَجْتَمِعُونَ لَدَيْهِ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ ، وَقَدْ تَرَعْرَعَ الطِّفْلُ النَّاشِىءُ لِيَسْمَعَ آيَاتِ الْقُرْآنِ ، وَأَحَادِيثَ الرَّسُولِ ﷺ ، وَمَسَائِلَ الْعِلْمِ

He was inclined toward knowledge and passionate about it from his early upbringing, as he was raised in a house of jurisprudence and judiciary; for his father, Sheikh Abdul Hamid Ibrahim, was a man of the judiciary and fatwa, and he had strong ties with his colleagues and the elite scholars of his environment. They would gather at his home, and the growing child was raised hearing verses of the Quran, the hadiths of the Messenger (peace be upon him), and matters of knowledge even in the discussions of the visitors, and he observed in his father a sense of prestige and status that drove him to emulate him. ⟶ (sentence continues on next page)
