حضرة ابو بكر سلطنتیں

Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Abdel-Rahman Bin Al-Qasim ⁽¹⁾: Born in Madinah, Judge Muhammad Bin Abdullah 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. He was appointed Chief Justice of Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah by Caliph Al-Ma’mun of the Abbasid Dynasty (and sworn in in 198 AH). He was also the Judge of Basra in Iraq.

Muhammad Bin Abdullah narrated on the authority of his father, while Abu Bakr Bin Abdel-Rahman Bin Abdul-Malik Bin Shaiba Al-Hizami and Al-Zubayr Bin Bakkar narrated on his authority.

He is the one who narrated the hadith about the virtues of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq’s family, which is the hadith that says: “We know of no one in [the history of] Islam with four [generations of men within the same family] and their sons who lived at the same time as the Prophet, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him and his family, except for: Abu Quhafa, Abu Bakr, Abdel-Rahman Bin Abi Bakr, and his son Abu Ateeq Muhammad Bin Abdel-Rahman Bin Abi Bakr, may Allah be pleased with them.”

In Wafa’ Al-Wafa’, Al-Samhudi mentioned that Muhammad Bin Muawiyah wrote:

Muhammad Bin Abdullah Al-Bakri—who was Chief Justice of Madinah—and I were taking a walk in Aqiq—which is a valley in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah—in Ibn Bukair’s palace, whereupon Muhammad Bin Abdullah wrote on the wall:

Where are the people of Aqiq? Where is Quraysh? … Where are Abdul-Aziz and Ibn Bukair?

And if time could immortalize a living person …

Then below that, he wrote: Whoever completes this half has an advantage.

Later, Umar Bin Abdullah Bin Nafi’ was taking a stroll in the palace of Ibn Bukair, whereupon he read the writing and completed the second half, writing:

It would have immortalized Ibn Al-Zubayr.

Then Muhammad Bin Abdullah went back for a stroll and found that the line had been completed, so he asked who had completed it, and I told him: “Umar Bin Abdullah,” whereupon he said: “If I were able to speak to him, I would acknowledge his advantage. He [made the best choice] and has spoken the truth.” Umar Bin Abdullah had not been speaking to him.

Muhammad Bin Abdullah died sometime between 201 and 210 AH.
