Abd al‑Rahmān b. ‘Abd al‑Rahmān was a critic of the Burda cited in the 16th‑century Malay translation of the Burda (see PAGE 35). His remarks are presented in the seventh risäla as part of a broader denunciation of the poem’s alleged shirk.
Role in the Anti‑Wahhabi Dispute
The source records that Abd al‑Rahmān, son of ‘Abd al‑Rahmān, contributed a passage that the author of the Malay translation used to illustrate the anti‑Wahhabi stance of certain scholars. His commentary is quoted without extensive biographical detail, indicating his prominence was chiefly intellectual.
