Kitab Ash-Shifa bi ta'rif huquq al-Mustafa, (Healing by the
recognition of the Rights of the Chosen One), of Qadi 'Iyad (d.
544H/1149CE) is perhaps the most frequently used and commented upon
handbook in which the Prophet's, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, life, his qualities and his miracles are described in every
detail. Generally known by its short title, Ash-Shifa, this work
was so highly admired throughout the Muslim world that it soon
acquired a sanctity of its own for it is said: "If Ash-Shifa is
found in a house, this house will not suffer any harm... when a
sick person reads it or it is recited to him, Allah will restore
his health." Ash-Shifa gathers together all that is necessary to
acquaint the reader with the true stature of the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, with the esteem and respect which is
due to him, and with the verdict regarding anyone who does not
fulfil what his stature demands or who attempts to denigrate his
supreme status - even by as much as a nail paring. QADI 'IYAD His
full name was Abu al-Fadl 'Iyad ibn Musa ibn 'Iyad ibn 'Imran ibn
Musa ibn Muhammad ibn 'Abdullah ibn Musa ibn 'Iyad al-Yahsubi, the
famous Imam. He was born in Ceuta in the month of Sha'ban, 496 AH
and lived there although his family originated from Andalusia.
According to his son, Muhammad, his ancestors originated in
Andalusia and then moved to the city of Fes, staying in the
Qarawiyyin at some point. 'Imrun moved to Ceuta after having lived
in Fes. Qadi 'Iyad was the Imam of his time in hadith and its
sciences. He was a scholar of tafsir and its sciences, a faqih in
usul, a scholar in grammar, language and Arabic speech, as well as
in the battles and lineages of the Arabs. He had insight into
judgements and had the legal competence to write contracts. He
preserved and knew the Maliki madhhab. He was an excellent poet,
familiar with literature and an eloquent orator. He was steadfast,
forbearing and a good companion. He was generous and gave a lot of
sadaqa. He was constant in action and tenacious in the truth. He
died in Marrakesh in the month of Jumada al-Akhira or Ramadan in
544 AH. AISHA BEWLEY Aisha Abdurrahman at Tarjumana Bewley is one
