He resided in Baghdad and narrated hadith there. He was Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ash-ShaybaniI do not find Sheikh XYZ listed in any books of students of Imam Ahmad (Allah be pleased with him and them), their students, and so on, up until this very day. So shall we give Sheikh XYZ’s word concerning the Hanbali madhhab precedence over what the madhhab’s mujtahids have said, such as Imam Ahmad himself, Ibn Al-Jawzi, Ibn Qudamah, Al-Mardawi, Al-Hajjawi, Mar`i bin Yusuf, Al-Buhuti, Al-Ba`li, Al-Safarini, and virtually every single Hanbali scholar other than Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah (Allah have mercy upon them all)? The Ihya Ulum al-Din is considered to be one of the most widely read books in Islam across the world, having gained reverence from scholars and the general acceptance of the Muslim people ( ummah). Here are few statements regarding the book from the most revered and renowned scholars: [22] Ibnu Qudamah Al-Maqdisi adalah seorang imam, ahli fiqih dan zuhud, Asy-syekh Muwaffaquddin Abu Muhammad Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Muhammad Ibnu Qudamah al-Hanbali al-Almaqdisi.

The seventh category is the path of Allah ( ), which means the ones who fight so that the word of Allah ( ) may be supreme and for the defense of Islam. Hence, the ones who fight for tribal or nationalistic reasons do not receive zakat; and the pilgrims who need financial aid to fulfill hajj [pilgrimage to Mecca which is the fifth pillar of Islam] [31]. Finally, the eighth category includes the stranded traveler, to enable him to reach his hometown, regardless of whether he is rich or poor.
