[14] Some of his siblings: During Yahya Muhammad Hamid ed-Din's rule, a notable number of individuals from the al-Mu'allimi family experienced persecution and imprisonment in Yemen.

[17] In Jazan, under the governance of Muhammad ibn Ali al-Idrisi, al-Mu'allimi assumed the role of supreme judge and acquired the title Shaykh al-Islam.

[8][23] Al-Mu'allimi was an adherent of the Athari creed, a doctrinal framework characterized by its continuity with the beliefs upheld by the first three generations of Islam subsequent to the era of Muhammad.

[26] Al-Mu'allimi emphasized the importance of grounding theological and jurisprudential matters in the foundations drawn from the divine revelation (Quran and Sunnah) and the interpretations of the early Islamic generations.

He strongly opposed the incorporation of innovative rules that lacked grounding in the original sources, advocating instead for a return to the authentic teachings of Muhammad and his immediate successors.

[27] Al-Mu'allimi's disapproval of philosophy and Kalam (theological discourse) came from his belief that these represented innovations not inherent in the Quran, the Sunnah, or the initial three generations of Islam.

This doctrinal stance found expression in his influential works, such as "Building up the Graves" (Arabic: عمارة القبور),[28] and the book of worship, wherein he emphasized the superiority of revelation over ideas not firmly rooted in divine guidance.

[6][4] This work serves as a comprehensive response to al-Kawthari's book, "The Reproach of Al-Khateeb: Exposing Fabrications and Deceptions in Abu Hanifa's Autobiography" (Arabic: تأنيب الخطيب على ما ساقه في ترجمة أبي حنيفة من الأكاذيب).

The first section of his response delves into the fundamental principles of the Sunni Athari school, describing their approach to the field of hadith and the criteria for validating or rectifying narrators.

[30] Authored by the renowned 9th-century scholar al-Bukhari, this book holds a pivotal place in the field of biographical evaluations within the Islamic science of narrations and hadith.

Authored by the 8th-century scholar Ibn Abi Hatim, this work is considered one of the most significant and oldest contributions to the field of biographical evaluations in the Islamic science of narrations and hadith.

Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Al ash-Sheikh, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia from 1953 to 1969, incorporated one of al-Mu'allimi's books as a textbook in his instructional sessions.
