إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ

Only those fear Allah

مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ

from His servants who have knowledge.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ

Indeed, Allah is All-Mighty,

غَفُورٌ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ، بِسْمِ اللَّهِ

All-Forgiving. Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. In the name of Allah,

الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ، وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى أَشْرَفِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ

the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. All praise is for Allah, Lord of all the worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the most noble of the prophets

وَالْمُرْسَلِينَ، نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَأَصْحَابِ أَصْحَابِهِ وَالتَّابِعِينَ، حَيَّاكُمُ اللَّهُ إِخْوَانِي

and the messengers, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family, the Companions of his Companions, and the followers. May Allah welcome you, my brothers

وَأَخَوَاتِي إِلَى لِقَاءٍ جَدِيدٍ ضِمْنَ هَذِهِ السِّلْسِلَةِ وَالَّتِي أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَجْعَلَهَا مُبَارَكَةً،

and sisters, to a new meeting within this series, which I ask Allah the Exalted to make blessed:

سِيرَةُ إِمَامٍ. لِقَائِي مَعَكُمْ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ حَوْلَ الْعَالِمِ الْعَلَمِ وَالْحَافِظِ الْفَقِيهِ الْمُقَدَّمِ الَّذِي

"Biography of an Imam." My meeting with you on this day is about the prominent scholar, the leading jurist and hadith master who

دَوَّنَ السُّنَّةَ وَأَعَزَّ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْمِلَّةَ، الَّذِي جَدَّ فِي تَصْحِيحِ السَّقِيمِ وَجَدَّدَ مَا كَانَ مِنْهُ كَالْفِ كَالْكَهْفِ

recorded the Sunnah and through whom Allah strengthened the religion, who strove hard in correcting the flawed and renewed what was like the cave

وَالرَّقِيمِ، مَعَ تَقَدُّمِهِ فِي فِقْهِ الْعِلَلِ وَالتَّنْبِيهِ عَلَى الْخَطَلِ، هَذَا أَحَدُ أَئِمَّةِ الْإِسْلَامِ الْمُقْتَدَى

and the inscription, along with his precedence in understanding the hidden defects and pointing out mistakes. This is one of the Imams of Islam who are followed
