His abundant prayers upon the Prophet, peace be upon him, and the path of Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him. He had a book on Sufism and warfare, and another titled "The Success of the Farmer" and his book "The Garden of the Wise" which is well-known. This is the book that was written with him.
It begins with "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." And the mention of the Basmala and the opening of books.
The scholars agree on the importance of the Basmala, and that it is a supplication for help from Allah Almighty. It is also agreed that it is not part of the prayer, even though it is mentioned in the Quran. Malik and others acted upon the saying of the Prophet, peace be upon him: "Every matter of importance that does not begin with the Basmala is cut off." This is the wording in the book "Al-Lata'if," and in another narration, "cut off," and in another narration, "lame." And the letter "tha" with dots is a clear analogy. It is understood by all that it is incomplete.
The blessing is not complete in the Medinan and the Hijazi. And the meaning of "dhi yal" is "he who has," and the meaning of "la yuqda'u" is "it is not completed." And "al-Basmala" means seeking help from Allah Almighty. The addition of the word "ism" or that it refers to the effort, or its meaning is to seek blessings in His name. So, the "ba" in "Bismillah" is for seeking help, and for companionship and association, with the intention of seeking blessings and seeking help. It is derived from "al-ma'wa," which means highness, or it is said to be from "al-'alama," which means a sign. The name "Allah" is specific to His essence, may He be exalted, and is unique to Him.
And Allah Almighty, for no one else seeks help with it. It is the most specific of names, and the most knowledgeable of knowledge, and the greatest of names, because it indicates the essence described with divine attributes. It is the comprehensive one of the meanings of the Beautiful Names, as is everything else. Therefore, the names are attributed to Him, and He is not attributed to anything. And all His names are for creation except this name, for it is specific to Him. So, the servant's share of it is to say: "And He is," which is the heart and intention being engrossed in Allah Almighty, so that he sees no one else and turns to no one else. And this is the most important thing, and the most complete.
Two attributes of the perfect one, from "taqwa" and "taqwa." The first is "al-mutakabbir," and the chosen one is "al-Rahman," and "al-Rahim" is a verb or an attribute. And "al-Rahman" is an attribute for the absolute, or for the absolute. And "al-Rahim" is an attribute for the absolute, or for the absolute. It is not possible to indicate it, nor is it an attribute. And the addition of "al-taqwa" is to bring good, or to bring good. And Allah knows best. And peace be upon our master Muhammad and upon his family and companions. This is also confirmed in all manuscripts and in the "Shifa" in its appropriate places. The meaning of praying for the Prophet, peace be upon him, which has been the practice of the Ummah, and it is not disliked to pray for him.
And pray for him, peace be upon him, and his family, at the beginning of messages, and what is written after the Basmala. This was not the case in the early period. It occurred during the reign of the Banu Hashim, and people followed it in all parts of the earth. And some of them wrote it in the book.
Also, it is said that the scholars agreed on it, so no book is written except that it begins with prayers for the Prophet, peace be upon him, after the Basmala. This is the end. The intention is to seek blessings by his saying, peace be upon him.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. And peace be upon our master Muhammad, and upon his family and companions, and peace.
