Could you elaborate on their formation? Uh Right. All right. What is it? Uh A man can I yak to do the A fit man can I yak to do the fit had a teeny be a Emma No.
No. man lump yak to do the fit had a teeny be a Emma for kiss my to who these are and I have to hold her a jar for who do them obey the law here or what the awesome or Abu Bakr Saeed and Suleiman Kharija Allah Allah Allah STILL GOT IT. THAT'S A POEM ABOUT THE seven fuqaha of Medina.
Mhm. Peoples, you might think I grow old. I'll be here. All right. So, that's the uh the poet says that whosoever does not follow the A Emma of this teen, the Imams, then he might as well you know, be to waste really.
That take them take for who do them like these are the ones obey the law here or what the awesome Saeed and Suleiman Abu Bakr Kharija. Now, there is a difference of opinion on these who these uh who these seven are. I think that the the term seven just flies and it just sounds good. It's smooth. So, people liked it.
Al-fuqaha sab'a. They are the teachers of Imam um you know, they contribute to the fact of Imam Malik. So from them you get people like Ibn Hurmuz, Rabi'ah Ra'y studies with them, Ibn Shihab Zuhri studies with them who then all teach Imam Malik. So it kind of funnels down, but they were more as well. There were people like some people said Nafi' should be in this, some people said so they they did disagree on some of the who who these seven you know, the the the magnificent seven who they were at the time.
So cool. But I mean they they they just kind of rose to prominence. That's what it they were just dons of their time. That's all. So it wasn't that it wasn't organic uh appearance if you like.
