MORNING, READ BELOW:
وعلى الشيخ، وكذب على اإلمام أحمد،فقد كذب على الشيخ محي الدين بن العربي
ودس، كما دس على الشيخ الشعراني، صاحب القاموس،مجد الدين الفيروز آبادي
وقد قال الشيخ التجاني رضى هللا عنه عندما، رضي هللا عنه،على الشيخ التجاني
"إذا سمعتم عني شيئا فزنوه بميزان الشرع فإن وافق: أيكذب عليك؟ قال:سئل
وإن خالف فأتركوه،"فأعملوا به.
Indeed, (they) fabricated lies against Sheikh Muhyi Deen Bunul
Arabi, Imamu Ahmad, Sheikh Majdi Deen Al-Fairuz Abaadi, the
author of "Qamoos" (Compendium/Encyclopedia). Just as (they)
concocted (lies) against Sheikh Sha'arani and Sheikh Tijjani may
Allah be please with them. Sheikh Tijjani said when he was asked:
Would (people) fabricate lies against you? He answered saying:
"When you hear something (attributed) to me, weigh it with the
scale of the Shariah, if it coincides with it work with it and if it
contradicts it reject it".
وقد ذكر موالنا شيخ إبراهيم نياس في كتابه "البيان والتبيين عن التجانية
وهى أن النسخ المطبوعة من،وأقرر هنا حقيقة لها قيمتها العظمى..." : "والتجانيين
تحتوى على أشياء كثيرة ال وجود لها فى، وهى المتداولة بين اإلخوان،الجواهر
نسخة المؤلف.
So Maulana Sheikh Ibrahim Niass mentioned in his book,
"Clarification & Commentary About Tijjaniyah & Tijjaniyans":
"...And I hereby stress upon a reality which is of great value. It is
the fact that the printed version of "Jawahirul Ma'ani" which is
circulating around the brothers contains many things which are not
in the author's (original hand written) version.
درستُ كتاب "جواهر المعاني" عدة مرات ألفواج كثيرة َّ وقد تحققت ذلك ألني قد
وكنت دائما، وبمحضر جماعات من علمائهم فى مدرستي،من كبار الطلبة التجانيين
وكنت أنبههم دائما، وهم يتابعون بالنسخة المطبوعة،أستعمل نسختي المخطوطة
والتى ال توجد فى نسخة المؤلف،على الزيادات الموجودة فى كتبهم....
I was certain about that because on several occasions, I was
lecturing numerous senior students of Tijjaniyah the content of
"Jawahirul Ma'ani" and many scholars of my school would attend.
So I would always use my hand-written version, while they would
be following (the lesson) with the printed version. And I used to
inform them about the additions or insertions in their books and
those that are not available in the author's version....
بهذه الحقيقة المكتشفة، الشيخ محمد الحافظ، بمصر،ولقد أخبرت الخليفة التجاني
منهم عمدة مدينة،فاستعار مني النسخة ليدرسها مع مجموعة من العلماء التجانيين
وعند ذلك طلب مني، وقد ثبت لهم بالدراسة المقارنة صحة ما قلت لهم،اإلسماعيلية
األخ المذكور أن أقرر ذلك كتابة يحتفظ بها وينشرها عند الحاجة فساعدته على ما
طلب.
And I have informed the Khalifah of (Sheikh) Tijjani in Egypt
Sheikh Muhammadul Hafiz about this discovered reality, and he
borrowed the version from me to study it with a group of Tijjanyah
scholars among them was the governor of Isma-eliyyah. So upon
comparative studies, what I told them was authenticated. And then
the aforementioned brother (Sheikh Hafiz) requested me to print
it out so he would circulate it when the need arise and I did assist
him on request.
وأننى على أستعداد للتعاون مع كل من يريد بحث هذه الرسالة فالنسخة األصلية
كما أني اطلعت على النسخة التي كتبها الشيخ- وهلل الحمد- المذكورة لم تزل عندي
وال غرو فإن الدس، فرأيتها موافقة لنسختي،محمد الحافظ التجاني العلوي الشنقيطي
- والحمدهلل- ونحن. وأسبابه متعددة،فى كتب العلماء قديم ومعروف لدى الباحثين
على بصيرة من أمر طريقتنا التجانية المحمدية المباركة.
And I am ever ready to assist whoever wants to do research in this
book, as the original version mentioned is still with me - And all
praise is due to Allah - As I reviewed the version which was written
by Sheikh Muhammadul Hafiz Al-Tijjani Al-Shiqiti, and found it
matching my version. And it is no wonder, because fabrication and
falsification (lies) in the books of scholars is an old practice and it
is well known by researchers. And there are many reasons for that.
As for us - Walilahil Hamd - We are upon the right track in the
affairs of our blessed Tariqah of Tijjaniyah Muhammadiyah.
"جناية المنتسب: سماه، العالمة القاضي أحمد سكيرج،وقد طالعت كتابا قيما ألفه
وقد طبع فى،فيما ينسب إلى الشيخ التجاني بالكذب" وهو كتاب كثير الفائدة فى بابه
بإشراف فضيلة الشيخ محمد الحافظ التجانى،"القاهرة.
In fact, I read an amazing book written by a scholar and a judge
Ahmad Sukairaj, enitled: "Crime (Felony) of the Attributor in what
is Attributed to Sheikh Tijjani of Lies". It is a book with numerous
benefit in its chapters. It was published in Cairo under the
supervision of his eminence Sheikh Muhammadul Hafiz Al-
Tijjani".
