According to Shaykh Abdul Dayyan At Tijani:
This book i chanced upon sometime ago when we were cleaning the library of one of the revered Shuyūkh of our time, which i bought afterwards. It’s entitled طبقات التجانية by محي الدين الطعمى a student and mureed of Shaykh Ahmad Al- Hafīz the son of Shaykh Muhammad Al-Hafīz, the revered saint and Muhaddith. This book’s Muqaddima was written written by the Shaykh Shareef Sālih(RTA) and was published long before the insurgence of the “Jawahara” brouhaha and the interesting thing is that the sainthood and great station of Shaykh Salah(RTA) has been confirmed by the author who shares experiences he witnessed personally about Shaykh Salahudeen(RTA), some of which are highlighted in the pages that were captured along with the book cover. Among them, he narrates a dream he had about Shaykh Salah in which they were standing at the gates of Paradise and what ensued between them. He also states emphatically that Shaykh Salah is one of the great Khalafā of Shaykh Tijani who have attained complete annihilation in him and that he does not perform any action at all unless with permission from Shaykh Ahmad Tijani(RTA), rather unfortunate that some people can turn out to declare him outside the fold of Tijaniyya today; something i personally believe sprouts from jealousy and hatred. With everything Shaykh Salah altered and said was from his portion of inheritance of the station of Shaykh Tijani and he provided the appropriate proof to all his declarations. At least, even if you don’t agree with him in his stance with regards to certain affairs, you still have to acknowledge the fact that he is an established scholar and Mujtahid, in fact one of the top ranking scholars of Egypt, but to recruit people(even children) to hate him and discredit his scholarship can only be an act of pure jealousy.
NB:
As stated earlier, the author is not a student nor mureed is Shaykh Salah, he is the mureed of Shaykh Ahmad Al-Hāfiz. May Allah be pleased with them all.
