Qassim ibn Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr

May Allah be Well Please With Him

"So long as you have not contemplated the Creator,
you belong to created beings;
but when you have contemplated Him,
created beings belong to you."

Ibn `Ata'Allah, Hikam.

He was one of the seven most famous jurists in Madinat al-Munawwara. It was through these seven great Imams that hadith, fiqh (jurisprudence) and tafsir (exegesis) of the Qur'an were disseminated to the people. His mother was the daughter of the last king of Persia, Yazdagir. His grandfather was the first khalif, Abu Bakr as-Siddiq. He met some of the Tabi`in, such as Salim bin `Abdullah ibn `Umar .

Hadhrat Imām Qāsim ibn Muhammad ibn Abū Bakr as-Siddīq (24-107 AH), radiyAllāhu anhum ajma’īn, was one of the greatest Tābi’īn and one of the great seven jurists of Madinah.

He was grandson of Amīr al-Mu’minīn Abū Bakr as-Siddīq radiyAllāhu anhu, and nephew of Umm al-Mu’mineen Sayyida Āishā Siddīqā raziyAllahu anhā.

He married his cousin Asmā bint Abdur-Rahmān ibn Abū Bakr as-Siddīq radiyAllāhu anhum. They had a daughter named Fātimā, also called Umm Farwā, who was married to Imām Muhammad al-Bāqir bin Imām Zain al-Ābidīn. She was also the mother of Imām Ja’far as-Sādiq, who received the secret of the Naqshbandi way from his grandfather Imām Qāsim.

The next in the Naqshbandī Mujaddidī Tāhirī spiritual golden chain is Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq.

A man asked the Prophet about the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgment) saying, "When will the Hour be?" The Prophet said, "What have you prepared for it?" The man said, "Nothing, except that I love Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet said, "You will be with those whom you love." We had never been so glad as we were on hearing that saying of the Prophet (i.e., "You will be with those whom you love.") Therefore, I love the Prophet, Abu Bakr and 'Umar, and I hope that I will be with them beCause of my love for them though my deeds are not similar to theirs.
