Is one of the greatest scholars

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05

of the Arabic language.

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

And he wrote this poem, which really encapsulates

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

the foundational rules of Arabic called,

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

that's what it's known as now. And when

00:00:14 --> 00:00:17

he was writing it, he actually criticized someone

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20

who came before him, an Imam Ibnu Matic.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

And Imam Ibnu Matic,

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

Alfiya, 1,000 lions in Arabic, and then

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

Imam Ildu Malik suddenly he experienced writer's block.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

SubhanAllah he couldn't write anymore, and he saw

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

in his dream a person that had a

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

big turban and an imam, and

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

he said to that person,

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

who are you? And he said, I'm the

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

person that you attacked and criticized. And because

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

of that, there's no barakah in your work.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

He said what? He said I'm your naughty

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

that he woke up and he changed it.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

And then he wrote in his poem and

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

he praised him and then his writer's block

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

was gone. The point is we can criticize

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

others, but let's do it with Adam.
