Sheikh Saleh Al Al-Sheikh
Al-Dhahabi who he has many books on biographies and Ilm (Islamic knowledge) writes about himself in the Mujam Almukhtas (specialized lexicon), saying: “Al-Dhahabi, the author, Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Othman bin Qaymas bin Sheikh Abdullah Al-Turkmani Al-Fariqi, then Al-Dimashqi Al-Shafi’i, The reciter, the muhaddith (narrator), the producer of this lexicon.
He was born in the year 673 (Hijri), he compiled works.” Look at how such people, which the body shudders at their grandeur, how they speak of themselves.
“He compiled works that are said to be beneficial, and people are kind to praise him...” “...And he knows himself more (i.e., than them) and his deficiency in knowledge and action...” “...And we seek aid from Allah, and there is no strength except with Him.”
"If my faith was safeguarded, then I would be such a winner!"
The most important thing for him is faith, not authoring or (other things). He wrote for many years huge volumes amounting to more than 150 volumes.
In the end, he says: “If my faith was safeguarded, then I would be such a winner.” This is the reality of religion, faith, righteousness, and good intentions.
A person revolves around his faith. These are all means to strengthen faith, but faith is: “If my faith was safeguarded, then I would be such a winner.”
