as-Salamu Alaykum The following was written by Sayf al-Islam Shaykh Gibril on Sunnipath : Imam Zainul Aabideen (radi Allahu anhu) poem Answered by Shaykh Gibril F Haddad I heard that this poem which is called 'Ya Syyedi Irham Lana' was written by Imam Zainul Aabideen (radi Allahu anhu). i have heard that this is narrated in the following books: Tirmidi, Musnad Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, Dala'il al-Nubuwwa Baihaqi, fatawa ridawiyyah. I was wondering whether you could kindly tell me if this is sahih. Could i also have if possible there sanad. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you. Here is a link to the poem in arabic. http://www.ishaateislam.net/audio/lyrics/syyedi.jpg This is a forgery. The poem is in none of the hadith books mentioned or in any other, and is chock full of mistakes in grammar and prosody. GF Haddad Can anyone tell me if this is true or not (i.e. Shaykh Abu Hasan , Shaykh Abu Nibras, Shaykh Raffiq Ahmad) ?
