Shaykh Muhammad had a number of sons and daughters and married one of his daughters to Muhammad ibn Sa’ud, the tribal chief. His sons, Husayn, ‘Abd Allah and Ibrahim, became judges after their father. Even now, his sons, one after another, hold religious positions in Saudi Arabia.
During his lifetime, apart from training students, the Shaykh wrote some books which nowadays have caught the attention of ’ulama’ and students of the region. These books are as follows:
Kitab at-Tawhid; a collection of his doctrines;
Kitab Kashf ash-Shubahat, which is written in defense of his doctrines vis-à-vis Sunni ’ulama’;
The merits and issues of some stories in the Qur’an;
Kitab al-Kaba’ir, which has been written about the major sins;
Masa’il al-Jahiliyyah, in which he compares the pre-Islamic period of ignorance of Arabia with his own time;
Fawa’id as-Sirah an-Nabawiyyah, which is well-known as Sirat ar Rasul. This book examines the entire course of the lives of some Companions of the Prophet (s), his battles and the prevalent beliefs during that time;
Ikhtisar ash-Sharh al-Kabir; and Adab al-Mashyi ila’s-Salah (These two books have been written about issues related to jurisprudence and the branches of religion).
These books are still available at the present.
