حضرة ابو بكر سلطنتیں

Sadr Al-Din Al-Nishapuri (1): The Honorable Sufi Hafidh Abu Ali Al-Hasan Bin Abi Abdullah Muhammad Bin Abi Al-Futouh Muhammad Bin Abi Sa’d Muhammad Bin Abi Sa’eed Muhammad Bin Amrouk, who was ‘Amr Bin Abi Sa’eed Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Al-Hasan Bin Al-Qasim Bin ‘Alqama Bin Nasr Bin Muath Bin Abdel-Rahman Bin Al-Qasim Bin Muhammad Bin Abi Bakr Al-Siddiq, was from the tribe of Taym, a sub-clan of the tribe of Quraysh, and a descendant of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq known as Sadr Al-Din.

Sadr Al-Din’s ancestors came from Nishapur, but he was born and raised in Damascus. He was the father of Shamia Bint Al-Bakri and a descendant of Amrouk Bin Muhammad of Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah, who went to Nishapur and lived there.

Sadr Al-Din was born in Damascus on the 21st of Muharram in 574 AH (1178 AD). He received hadiths in Makkah from his grandfather (Grand Sheikh Abi Al-Futouh Muhammad) and Umar Al-Mianshi, in Damascus from Ibn Tabrzad, in Nishapur from Al-Mu’ayyad Al-Tusi and Al-Qasim Bin Al-Safar, in Herat from Abi Ruh, in Maru from Abi Al-Muthafar Bin Al-Samaani, in Isfahan from Abi Al-Faraj Bin Al-Junaid, in Baghdad from Abdul-Aziz Bin Al-Akhdar, in Erbil from Abdul-Latif Bin Abi Al-Najib Al-Suhrawardi, and in Mosul, Aleppo, Jerusalem, Cairo, and many other cities from many other individuals. He had a large collection of books and produced several works of tafsir as well as other books and compilations, including the beginning of Dhayl ala Tarikh Ibn ‘Asakir. He was regarded as an ideal leader and a man of great virtue.

Sadr Al-Din oversaw the institution of hisbah (regulating the marketplace) in Damascus. The revered King Esa Bin Al-Malik Al-Adil once sent him East with a letter to Sultan Jalaluddin Khwarazm-Shah, the King of the Persians. Upon his return, the king appointed him Grand Sheikh, giving him a new role in addition to his duties regarding the hisbah. He became paralyzed two years before his death. He died in Cairo on a Sunday night, on the 11th of Dhul Hijjah in 656 AH (1258 AH) and was buried the next day in Safeh Al-Muqattam.
