Ahmad ibn Ali ibn al-Abbas ibn Noah and his views on men

Abstract

Sharia scholars paid attention to the science of men, and they compiled dictionaries on it, considering that derivation of the Sharia ruling is often done through the pure Sunnah, which is the second source of legislation after the Book of God, Blessed and Most High. It is known that the Sunnah has reached us through the narrators, so we must be honest in conveying it so that we can be confident that what they have conveyed to us is true and we can be reassured that what they have conveyed is the judgment of God. This is what the science of men is responsible for. This is why our scholars paid attention to men’s research, so they composed dictionaries that were responsible for explaining the conditions of the narrators and explaining their trustworthiness and weakness. It is unfortunate that most of these books did not reach us as individual and independent books, but rather reached us through the books of a group of companions whose words are documented in our present era.

The book of Ibn Noah is considered one of the most important lost books on men, as evidenced by the reliance of men’s scholars on his men’s opinions. It appears that this book is available to the Negus. It is directly from him. Therefore, this research came as a study of Ibn Noah’s views on men
