SHAYKH MUHAMMAD AL-HASAN IBN AHMAD AL-KHADIM

(A Teacher of Generations of Ulama & A Mujaddid of Traditional Islamic Sciences in Our Age)

By: Ustadh Mustafa Briggs

Shaykh Muhammad al-Hasan ibn Ahmad al-Khadim is one of the senior ulema of Mauritania. Extremely pious and humble, the shaykh is a master in every field of the Islamic sciences, without exception, and one of the leading scholars in Mauritania at the moment.

He is probably most famous in the West for being the Shaykh that Hamza Yusuf took ijaza from for his book, Purification of the Heart, as it was based on his commentary on the poem of Shaykh Muhammad Mawlud. Shaykh Muhammad Hassan has written commentaries on most of his books as well as having having written books on fiqh, usul al-fiqh, usul al-hadith and tasawwuf.

Among his published works is a commentary on the Alfiyyah of Imam Suyuti in usul al-hadith, a commentary on the Nadhm of Jam’ al-Jawami’ of Imam Suyuti in usul al-fiqh, a commentary on the Nadhm al-Kaffaf, which was a versification of The Risala of Ibn Abi Zayd with additions, and a commentary on Ibn Ashir in Maliki fiqh, as well as commentary on Qurratul Absar in Seerah, and numerous books on Tassawuff.

I was blessed to visit him in his village of Taysir, which is a couple of hundred kilometers away from the capital, where he spends his time teaching hundreds of students, who study the traditional West African Mahdara style, memorizing everything they study. The Shaykh also gifted me copies of over 20 of his books from his personal library, as well as the greatest gift of all, his advice and prayers.
 




SHAYKH MUHAMMAD AL-HASAN IBN AHMAD AL-KHADIM
(One of the Senior Ulema of Mauritania)
By: Mustafa Briggs

Alhamdulilah I’m back in Mauritania, a country that I have been visiting and spending time in for nearly a decade, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to return to Taysir, one of the most prominent teaching villages in Mauritania, and spend time with Shaykh Muhammad al-Hasan ibn Ahmad al-Khadim, the founder and Shaykh of the village and one of the senior scholars of Mauritania, just before he left for Tunisia for an eye operation.

The Shaykh is a humble and devout man, and a master of all fields of Islamic sciences, without exception. He has published over 30 works, including books on Fiqh, Usul al-Fiqh, Usul al-Hadith, and Tasawwuf. Among his published works are Commentaries on the Alfiyyah of Imam Suyuti (Rahimahullah) in Usul al-Hadith, the Nazm of Jam’ al-Jawami’ of Imam Suyuti (rahimahullah) in Usul al-Fiqh, the Nazm of al-Kafaf in Maliki Fiqh, (which is a Versification of the Risala of Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani with extra information) and numerous books on Tasawwuf.

He  is also a senior Sufi shaykh of the Tijani tariqah and very strict in following the Sunnah and wary of bid’ah (innovation). He is busy teaching and writing most of the time, he teaches from 11am to sunset with a break at around noon time.

Shaykh Muhammad al-Hasan ibn Ahmad al-Khadim is also the scholar who granted Hamza Yusuf ijaza (permission to teach and transmit knowledge) for the famous book "Purification of the Heart." Shaykh Hamza Yusuf expressed his gratitude to him in the acknowledgments, stating,...

"I also thank the eminent scholar and spiritual master, Shaykh Muhammad Hasan ould al-Khadim, for giving me license to teach and translate the poem and whose outstanding commentary on it was my constant companion during the classes and remains so today”.

I am praying for the Shaykh’s health and that Allah grant him a long life, as he remains a pillar and benefit to the Ummah and one of the unique scholars of the age, and I ask you all to do the same 🤲🏿



SHAYKH MUHAMMAD AL-HASAN IBN AHMAD AL-KHADIM 
(A Teacher of Generations of Ulama & A Mujaddid of Traditional Islamic Sciences in Our Age)

HAD THE HONOUR of visiting one of the greatest living scholars of Mauritania Shaykh Muhammad al-Hasan bin Ahmad al-Khadīm in his desert village of Tayseer.

The Shaykh is over 85 and a teacher of generations of Ulama. He is considered a Mujaddid of traditional Islamic sciences in our age. 

It was a blessed meeting. We greeted him, sat in his class, sought his advice, requested his Duas & obtained his books.
