Translation text: يقول كيف كان السلف يدرسون مسائل التوحيد قبل التقسيمات الثلاث؟ The questioner says: how did the Salaf (pious predecessors) study the issues of Tawheed (Oneness of Allah) before the three divisions? كما ندرسها كانوا يدرسونها كما ندرسها فكتاب التوحيد الذي درسناه هو آيات وأحاديث  As we study it. They used to study it as we study it; for the Book of Tawheed which we have studied is verses and hadiths, وهي علوم السلف لكن هذه الحقائق الإيمانية كانت راسخة في نفوسهم  and they’re the studies of the Salaf. However, these facts of Iman (belief) were firmly rooted in their hearts. فلا يحتاجون إلى الإفصاح عنها بمثل عباراتنا So, they don't need to express it as we do.  ولذلك تجدها في ثنايا كلامهم Therefore, you find it implied in their words. فذكر الأقسام الثلاثة للتوحيد توحيد الربوبية وتوحيد الأسماء والصفات وتوحيد الألوهية So, the mention of the three divisions of Tawheed, Tawheed ar-Rubooybiyah (Singling out Allah with His actions), Tawheed Al Asma’ was-Sifaat (Singling out Allah with His Names and Attributes), and Tawheed of Uloohiyyah (Singling out Allah with worship),  هي موجودة في ثنايا كلام ابن جرير الطبري في تفسيره وابن منده في التوحيد وابن حبان في مقدمة نزهة الفضلاء في جماعة ءاخرين is present in the words of Ibn Jarir at-Tabari in his Tafseer, Ibn Mandah in Tawheed, Ibn Hibban in the Introduction of Nuzhat Al-Fudala’, and others. فكانت علوما بينة في نفوسهم فلما انقسمت العلوم وضعفت الملكات احتاج الناس إلى الإبانة عن العلوم  So, it was clear knowledge in their minds. So, when the knowledge was divided and the cognitive capabilities were weakened, people needed clarification of the knowledge (i.e., of Sharia), كما قال صاحب المراقي لما ذكر أصول الفقه قال أول من صنفه في الكتب محمد بن الشافع المطلبي وغيره كان له خليقة مثل الذي للعرب من سليقه as the author of Al-Maraqi said, when he mentioned the usool of Fiqh (fundamental principles of jurisprudence), he said that the first person who compiled it in books was Muhammad Ibn Al-Shafi` Al-Muttalibi and others; he had morals like that of his Arab predecessors. أي أن سلائق العرب في النحو لم يكن الأعرابي يقول هذا فاعل وهذا مفعول به وهذا ممنوع من الصرف This means that naturally the Arabs, Bedouins, in grammar did not say that this is the subject, this is the object, and so on. لكن استعمال ذلك جارٍ في لسانهم ثم لما ظهر اللحن وفشا العجم في العرب احتيج إلى تقعيد هذه القواعد However, their uses were commonplace on their tongues. Then when mistakes in grammar appeared and non-Arabs became widespread among the Arabs, it was necessary to establish these principles. وابتدئ في زمن ابي الأسود عمر بن ظالم الدؤلي في عهد علي رضي الله عنه And it began during the time of Abi Al-Aswad Omar bin Zalim Al-Du’ali during the era of Ali may Allah be pleased with him. ----------------------------------------------------- Rabbaniyeen ربانيين 🔴اليوتيوب🔴👇 https://youtube.com/channel/UCSZQ94R_9fXNumssaa5BAkg 🔴الانستجرام🔴👇 https://www.instagram.com/rabbaniyeen/ 🔴التيليغرام🔴👇 https://t.me/Rabbaniyeen
