Al-Hussein” in close contact , interdependent , connected and
س
sequenced from the beginning of the (sanad) up to its end; the students
of” Al-Hadi” and his son “Al-Murtada Mohammed Bin Yahia”, they are
the sheikhs of “Al-Mutrafya” .
Al-Mutrafyah was founded on 360H. by “Al-Sheikh Ali Bin Mshfooz” and
not by” Al-Sheikh Ali Bin Harb”.
Its foundation was started by a debate between “Al-Sheikh Ali Bin
Mahfooz” &” Al-Sheikh Bin Shihr” concerning Reputation (AL-Irrd) ,the
actual originator of “Al-Mutrafyah” was “Mutrif Bin Shihab” and to him
it was attributed.
The roots of contradiction between “Al-Mutrafyah” and” ALMukhtaryaa”
was very early, it was a contradiction between two
different ideas:
The school of “Al-Hadi” represented by students of “AL-Hadi” who are
the “Mashaeikh of AL-Mutrafyah” which was an extension of the ideas
of the school of “Moutazillah Al-Bagdadiah “ ,the school of “ALWafideen””
Immigrants” who came to Yemen of “AIIMMAh” and
scholars who came from Jail, Dailam, Tubrustan and Iraq who came
with different ideas and opinions compared to those of “Al-Hadi” In
jurisprudence (Figh) and in doctrine of (Iitigad) with the support of the
scholars of “Saada” who were affected by the immigrants “wafideen” ;
also the scholars of Yemen who went to those countries to learn there ,
it was an extension to the ideas of “Al-Mutrafiayah Jibaiaah” school.
What “Al-Mukhtariyah” imputed to “Al-Mutrafyah” in a doctrine stated
that “Al-Mutrafyah” are disbelievers; it was revealed what was rated to
“Al-Mutrafyah” are absolutely not right; the doctrine of “Al-Mutrafyah”
is opposite to what they stated , and in fact
what “Al-Mutrafyah” believes does not lead to disbelieve.
The doctrine of “AL-Murafyah” is the doctrine of “Abi-Algasim Al-Bulkhi”
,the Sheikh of Imam “Al-Hadi”; the founder of “AL-Zaydiah” in
Yemen,and also “Mazhab” AL-Immam “AL-Hadi” himself, and the
doctrine of the judge “Algaddi” “Abd-Aljabar Al-Moutazili” in his book
(the Explanation of the five origins); generally the doctrine of “Al-
Mutrafyah” is not far away from the “Moutazilah”.
