Al Aydid (Aidid) Al Alawi Ammul Faqih

 

IN ENGLISH

The first to be given the name “Al-Aydid (Aidid)” was Habib Muhammad Maula Aydid bin Ali Al-Huthah bin Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Abdurrahman bin Alwi Ammil Faqih.

The title “Al-Aydid (Aidid)”  was given to him as he was always seen in the “Aydid Orchard” that was in the vicinity of the hills of the city of Tarim.

This district was an area that was feared by the nearby inhabitants, because it was said that a lot of evil foreign beings (i.e. Jins and others) lived in the area. It was said that anyone who visits this district will never return.

During one particular dark night, the residents of the district were awaken by a strong light that appeared to be originating from the Orchard. Upon closer inspection, the residents realized that the light they had seen, was coming from the chest of Al-Habib Muhammad Maula Aydid. Since this occurrence, the Orchard was no longer feared upon and became peaceful.

Due to this incident, the residents of the area declared Al-Habib Muhammad bin Ali Al-Huthah as the Authority of (Maula) of the orchard Aydid, hence he was called Al-Habib Muhammad Maula Aydid.

He was born in the city of Tarim (Hadhramaut), and had 6 sons. Of which 3 continued his lineage, who were,

Abdullah , Abdurrahman (Abdullah and Abdurrahman were given the Title Ba-Faqih whose lineage were later known as Al-Bafaqih) and Ali (who continued the lineage title Aydid, but later on continued the lineage with the title “Al-Aydid”).

Habib Muhammad Maula Aydid passed away in the City of Tarim (Hadhramaut) in the year 862 Hijriyah.

Praise and blessing be upon him and his descendents.

IN MALAY

Yang pertama kali dijuluki (digelari) "Al-Aydid" adalah Habib Muhammad Maula Aydid bin Ali Al-Huthah bin Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Abdurrahman bin Alwi Ammil Faqih.
 
Soal gelar yang disandangnya, karena beliau bermukim di "dusun Aydid" yang terletak di daerah pegunungan dekat kota Tarim.
 
Dusun ini pada mulanya merupakan tempat yang sangat ditakuti oleh penduduk sekitarnya, karena dihuni banyak mahluk halus yang jahat sehingga setiap orang yang kesana pasti tidak bisa kembali lagi.
 
Hingga pada suatu malam yang gelap gulita penduduk disekitar tempat tersebut dikejutkan dengan munculnya suatu cahaya yang terang benderang diatas dusun tersebut, dan setelah dekat ternyata cahaya tersebut berasal dari tubuh Habib Muhammad Maula Aydid. akhirnya dusun yang sangat ditakuti tersebut kemudian menjadi dusun yang sangat aman dan makmur.
 
Dimana penduduk dusun tersebut mengangkat Habib Muhammad bin Ali Al-Huthah
 sebagai penguasa (Maula) dusun Aidid tersebut dengan Gelar Muhammad Maula Aydid.
