Shaykh Sulaymaan bin Sahmaan (1349H)

The town of Tabaalah, one of the districts of Beesha, was the home of his forefathers. His father moved from there to the town of Saqaa and got married. He had three children, amongst which was Shaikh Sulaymaan, who was born in 1266H.

Then when the Turkish army took over the lands of Aseer, his father migrated with him and his brother, Muhammad, to Riyaad. There he learned from Shaikh ‘Abdur-Rahmaan bin Hasan and his son, ‘Abdul-Lateef bin Hasan. He also studied under Shaikh Hamd bin ‘Ateeq, whom he accompanied for no less than seventeen years, progressing in his studies, investigations and research.

Allaah granted him sharp understanding and tremendous memory and intelligence. He was also quick in his ability to write. He would write all that his teachers would report to him. This was such that he gained supremacy in many of the Islamic sciences, such as Tawheed, Hadeeth, Fiqh, Tafseer, Usool and Nahw. He became an Imaam, at whom people may look to follow, and a symbol by which the people may receive guidance.

He would not grow tired from his extensive researching and lecturing on knowledge-based matters. He loved the students of knowledge and showed great kindness to them. He was a very well honored Shaikh. He would not mention worldly matters in his gatherings. He was slim and used to dye his hair with henna. He lost his eyesight towards the end of his life.

After the death of his teachers, he began to give classes and spread the correct and beneficial knowledge. And he would refute the enemies of Islaam and defend the Imaams of the Da’wah and its supporters – in both prose and poetry.

His students include:

1. Shaikh ‘Abdullaah bin ‘Abdil-‘Azeez Al-‘Anqaree

2. Shaikh ‘Umar bin Hasan Aali Shaikh

3. Shaikh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez bin Saalih bin Murshid

4. Shaikh ‘Abdul-Lateef bin Ibraaheem

5. Shaikh Ibraaheem bin Husayn, and others

Below are some of the books he wrote:

1. "Minhaaj Ahlil-Haqqi wal-Ittibaa’ fee Mukhaalafati Ahlil-Jahl wal-Ibtidaa’" (The Methodology of the Adherents of Truth and Following in Opposing the Adherents of Ignorance and Innovating) – A Powerful book in which he refutes many of the deviant concepts prevalent in his time, such as going to extremes in the religion, exceeding in takfeer, reviling the scholars and boycotting. Shaikh ‘Abdus-Salaam bin Barjis, may Allaah have mercy on him, has checked the book in recent times and it was printed by Maktabah al-Furqaan 1417H.

2. "Tabri’at-ush-Shaikhayn al-Imaamayn min Tazweer Ahlil-Kadhib" (Absolving the two scholarly Imaams from the Fabrications of the Liars) – A book in defense of Muhammad bin Isma’eel As-San’aanee and Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab, in which he refutes some authors who falsely ascribe statements to these two Imaams.

3. "Tanzeeh-ush-Sharee’ah ‘anil-Alfaadh ash-Shanee’ah" (Absolving the Religion from Atrocious Statements) - Another book refuting false ideas and innovations

He passed away in 1349H, may Allaah have mercy on him.
