The grave of Shaykh Muhammad Ali Ādam al-Ityūbi رحمه الله. Allah honored me with assisting to dig and expand it before the Shaykh arrived. I am forever in debt to the Shaykh for his knowledge, wisdom, character, kindness...
This is where we'll all end up. What have you prepared?

Note from Aboo Shaybah unrelated to the content of today's sermon translation posted above:
Between Thuhr and 'Asr on Thursday 21 Safar 1442h (8 October 2020), the day before this sermon was delivered, we were informed about the passing of our teacher and neighbour here in Makkah, the esteemed interdisciplinary scholar of Islaam and prolific writer, ash-Shaykh Muhammad 'Alee Aadam al-Ityoobee, who taught at Daar al-Hadeeth al-Khayriyyah and also taught at al-Masjid al-Haraam for a time. His funeral prayer was scheduled to be performed at al-Masjid al-Haraam after the 'Ishaa' prayer on the same night, though with very limited attendance due the precautions in place against the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic. We beseech Allaah to accept the tutelage and writings of our teacher and neighbour, ash-Shaykh Muhammad 'Alee Aadam, and allow them to be a continuous source of benefit, guidance, and reward. We further implore Allaah to be pleased with him, forgive him, have mercy upon him, multiply the rewards of his righteous deeds, admit him to Jannah without reckoning, and bestow much perseverance and steadfastness upon all the members of his household. In addition, as students of Islaam whose knowledge and efforts are relatively meager, we earnestly pray that Allaah grants us the sincerity, fortitude, and correctness required to perhaps one day be individuals whom Allaah Himself deems worthy possessors and conveyors of the knowledge that He blessed us to acquire at the feet of remarkably gifted scholars of Islaam whom He put in this world during the portion of our lives in which He gave us the opportunity to learn about His religion; and to us, ash-Shaykh Muhammad was undoubtedly one of the gifted scholars whom we had the privilege of knowing and learning from. We all most certainly belong to Allaah, and to Him alone we will all most certainly return. O Allaah, we beseech You to let the adversity we face be a source of attaining Your reward, and we beseech You to bestow upon us a replacement that will be even better than what is now gone.

Two Very Short Arabic Poems About Studying Islaam
by ash-Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Alee ibn Aadam al-Ityoobee
by ash-Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Alee ibn Aadam al-Ityoobee
Here are some fond memories of light moments with Sh. Muhammad Ali Adam al-Ethiopi (Rahimahullah) from the time he taught us Sunan al-Nasai at Dar al-Hadith al-Khairiyyah (circa 2005-2006):
1. The rule in Shaykh's class was that if anyone happened to doze off, he would be made to stand up till the end of class. Once I was close to dozing off, and being in the first row the Shaykh saw me and told me to stand. The Shaykh was reading some selected passages from his commentary on al-Nasai, and I had the same in my hand. While standing with the book in my hand, I noticed a typo in one of the passages the Shaykh skipped. I immediately exclaimed, Shaykh! a typo! And the Shaykh immediately was like in his unique style:
الله المستعان! الله المستعان! أين؟ أين؟
Here I found my opportunity! I said, Shaykh, I will only tell you if you allow me to sit! And the Shaykh laughs and tells me to sit down. To correct his book for the new edition was more important for him than to keep me standing!
2. Once the Shaykh was explaining the Hadith when Abu Sufyan's wife came complaining to the Prophet ﷺ that her husband is very stingy, so he ﷺ allowed her to take from his money what suffices her and her children. And the Shaykh started to mention the difference of opinion between scholars on whether the judge can pronounce a verdict in the absence of the defendant. The Shaykh mentioned that some scholars say that passing judgment against a person in absentia is not allowed, and the Hadith does not contradict that, because it is not a verdict (قضاء) rather a Fatwa (فتوى).
I don't know what came over me, but I said, Shaykh, this seems to be the stronger opinion!
Immediately the Shaykh burst into laughter saying:
الآن ظهرت حنفيتك يا سندي! الآن ظهرت حنفيتك يا سندي!
This opinion happened to me that of the Hanafiyyah, but I didn't know that when said what I said.
3. I used to attend Dar al-Hadeeth wearing the normal Saudi attire, but it so happened that once I attended wearing the Pakistani dress, and the Shaykh sees me in class and laughs and says, this is the attire of Imam Yahya b. Yayha al-Naisapuri (d. 226) which Imam Ahmed (d. 241) turned down! Then the Shaykh mentioned how Yahya b. Yahya had willed that after his death his clothes be given to Imam Ahmed. When they were brought to Imam Ahmed in Baghdad, he took only one and turned down the rest saying, this attire is not worn here in our city!
He was a unique embodiment of knowledge, asceticism, humility, and cheerfulness. May Allah have mercy on him.

Sh. Muhammad Ali Ādam's رحمه الله love for the Salah & the first row.
Being his neighbor for a number of years, I had the opportunity to pray in the same local masjid as him and on numerous occasions I witnessed many examples of his love for the Salah & the Sunnah.
The Shaykh had to be pushed on a wheelchair by his family members for every Salah. Despite that, the Shaykh would ALWAYS make the first row. Now, due to the narrowness of this masjid, there wasn't alot of space in the first row. Only about 10-15 (and that's being generous) could fit this space. Despite that, the Shaykh made it a point to pray in this coveted space. He would pray on the left hand side of the Imam due to the ease of access from the doorway.
I witnessed the same on Jumu'ah prayers. He would pray in the first row with his wheelchair on the left hand side of the imam towards the wall. And most of the time Sh. Yahya al-Mudarris حفظه الله would be right behind him in a wheelchair as well.
He was elderly, sick, & in a wheelchair, yet he would still find a way to pray in the first row. How many of us are young and healthy yet don't even pray in the masjid or pray in the 2nd+ rows of Salah? May Allah rectify our situation and make us better.

Sh. Muhammad Ali Ādam al-Ityūbi's love for knowledge and teaching رحمه الله.
A few years ago after the Shaykh recovered from his acoma, a classmate from Russia and I went to go visit him in the hospital. I believe it was the first day he felt well. He was expected to be discharged in a few days. When we arrived, only the Shaykh's sons and his best friend, an elder with his own son, were there on this occasion. After kissing the Shaykh's forehead and exchanging pleasantries, the Shaykh surprisingly said that class will be tonight إن شاء الله.
My classmate and I looked at each other out of shock. How could he deliver a class in such a state? The elder tried to talk him out of it and stated that his health was more important and it was better to rest. The Shaykh exclaimed "no, no what about the students? They are waiting for me."
Wallah, I could never get that moment out of my head. Some of us stop seeking knowledge if we're "not in the mood", or don't feel "motivated", or have a cold, or body aches, or insert any other reason...but this Muhaddith, may Allah illuminate his grave, was ready to deliver a lecture within hours of waking up from acoma. Also notice his selflessness and great concern he had for his students. Despite his condition, he was worried about his students. Subhanallah.
Alhamdulillah, the elder eventually convinced the Shaykh to rest.
*Silly moment* I didn't have much money at the time to buy a gift so I extended to the Shaykh the only thing on me at that moment which was a pocket-sized copy of Bulugh al-Maraam. The elder in the room said, "my son, get this beginner book out of here." The Shaykh smirked, lol...

From the signs of beneficial scholars is that you're always able to benefit from them.
By simply looking at the cover of Shaykh Muhammad's books رحمه الله we learn a tremendous etiquette: recognizing the status of one's parents/teachers and good treatment towards them even after their passing.
Before writing his father's name "Ali" (who was a scholar in his own right) he puts the noscript "ash-Shaykh, al-'Allāmah".
No matter how knowledgeable Sh. Muhammad became, he never forgot the virtue of his father/first teacher.
I've notice that when some mention the Shaykh, they write "Muhammad Adam", skipping his father's name. We should instead say Muhammad *Ali* Adam al-Etiūpi/al-Ityūbi and seek forgiveness for them all.
Additionally, we see the humility of the Shaykh as he refers to himself as خُوَيْدِم العلم meaning a small servant of knowledge. Allahu Akbar, despite being a mountain of knowledge he only refers to himself as being a "tiny servant".
Humility is from the outstanding traits of the people of knowledge.
He also says:
لجامعه الفقير إلى مولاه الغني القدير
Showing his reliance in Allah and that all of his efforts were not possible except with Allah's assistance.
May Allah grant us all beneficial knowledge coupled with humility. May He also have mercy on our Shaykh and grant him Firdous al-'Alā.
