بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ Imam Swalah ad-Din Abu asw-Swafa’ Khalil ibn Aybak asw-Swafadi ( r.a. ) said, of Shaykh Taqi’ ad-Din Ahmad ibn ‘Abd al-Halim ibn Taymiyyah ( r.a. ), “The shaykh , imam , and erudite scholar, Taqi ad-Din Ahmad ibn Taymiyyah was immensely learned but he had a defective intelligence that embroiled him into perils and made him fall into hardships.”
