Salam,

The best talk on the biography of Imam Busiri (RA) and the Qasida burda, also including a beautiful commentary on it, by Sheikh Sajjad, a scholar and one who researched the Qasida burda for about 6 years (checking many manuscripts and printed works), and is a student of Sheikh Muhammed al Yaqoubi:

Imam Busiri a Friend of Allah, Qasida Burda


Masha Allah, Shaykh Sajjad is a hidden gem of this community; a-too-often used cliche, perhaps, but true nonetheless. He generally keeps his talks off youtube and other such fora.However, to give people an example, he taught the Burda in weekly classes over two years (that's about 150hrs!) at the FR Institute in Birmingham. When he talks about having read many commentaries, he's not exaggerating.His point about the greatness of the ulama who were contemporaries of Busiri who, far from criticising him, praised his work and commented upon it extensively, bears serious contemplation. 'The noon-day sun needs no proof.

i loved the class by habib Hashim in yemen. he also couldnt have enough time to explain, a page would take a month & so on. but then again when a scholar has a connection with what he is teaching his intro to the book would take a few lessons. my teacher took two lessons or so when we were doing bidayatul Hidaya.
