Part 3: O Faris Al-Hammadi! The time has arrived for your deceitful and absurd statements to be unveiled for all to see! [A Brief Examination of Faris’s Main Assertions]

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Allah, The Most High, says:

يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّٲمِينَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ شُہَدَآءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَوِ ٱلۡوَٲلِدَيۡنِ وَٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَۚ إِن يَكُنۡ غَنِيًّا أَوۡ فَقِيرً۬ا فَٱللَّهُ أَوۡلَىٰ بِہِمَاۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ أَن تَعۡدِلُواْۚ وَإِن تَلۡوُ ۥۤاْ أَوۡ تُعۡرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرً۬ا

O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah; even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both (than you). So, follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do. [An-Nisaa.135]

وَإِن تَلۡوُ ۥۤاْ أَوۡ تُعۡرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرً۬ا

And if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do.

Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

Allah, Glorified be He and free is He from all imperfections, mentions two reasons that will inevitably lead to the concealment of truth, then He warned against them and issued a threat: the first of them is distortion and the second is to turn away from giving truthful witness. That is because when a proof that supports the truth is manifested and the one who wants to repel it finds no way of doing so, he refrains from mentioning it and thus becomes a silent devil, and sometimes he distorts it. Distortion is of two types -distorting words and meanings. Distorting words occur when one utters a word in a context in which it does not establish the truth – either adding to the word, omitting something from it, or substituting it with something else to the extent that the listener is made to believe something, whilst something else is intended, just as the Yahood [i.e. those Yahood who disbelieved in the Prophet and hated him in Madeenah] used to distort words when giving Salaam to the Prophet [i.e. saying As-Saamu Alayka (death be upon you), instead of saying Assalaamu alaykum)]. This is one type of distortion. The second type of distortion is related to meanings – distorting the wording, giving it an interpretation that is not intended by the one who uttered it and pretending not to know its unintended meaning; or dropping other meanings intended by it. Allah, The Exalted, says: [وَإِن تَلۡوُ ۥۤاْ أَوۡ تُعۡرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرً۬ا – and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do]. [1]

Faris stated: “You know I get asked this question a lot, and I know usually, Allahu a’lam I’m tested, I’m being tested with this question. Then I say to the brothers who still indulging in such a matter that they should fear Allah and get busy with things that are beneficial to them, yeah”

Observation: In the statement above, deceitful Faris says Allah knows best, but he believes that he is being tested! Therefore, the only thing we deduce from this is that we are all tested in one of two ways in the arena of Dawah and adherence to the religion: one may be tested and challenged while advocating for the truth, or individuals may assess someone’s position on a significant matter before accepting knowledge from them. Neither scenario poses a problem for someone who is questioned, as their ultimate aim is to uphold the truth and maintain the correct position. The challenges faced in the pursuit of Dawah are well known from the stories of the Prophets and their followers. Furthermore, we all know what is mentioned in Surah Al-Asr. We ask Allah to grant us Tawfeeq and include us among those who embody the four qualities highlighted in Surah Al-Asr. Read below:

The pinnacle of human perfection is attained through four qualities

However, what stands out most prominently in Faris’s statement is the scrutiny he faces concerning his stance on a particular issue, specifically the matter of Muhammad Bin Hadi, which will soon come to light. First, it is essential to establish that the evaluation of a teacher or caller’s reliability is a well-established principle within the Manhaj of the Salaf before one seeks knowledge from them. Imam Ibn Sirin, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: “Indeed, this knowledge is religion, so carefully consider from whom you take your religion”. [2]

Imam Muhammad Ibn Salih Al-Uthaymeen, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: We add trustworthiness as an additional characteristic alongside proficiency because proficiency is a strength and it has to be accompanied by trustworthiness. Allah says:

إِنَّ خَيۡرَ مَنِ ٱسۡتَـٔۡجَرۡتَ ٱلۡقَوِىُّ ٱلۡأَمِينُ

Verily, the best of men for you to hire is the strong, the trustworthy.[Al-Qasas. 26]

It may be that a scholar is proficient and vast in knowledge, able to derive and explain subsidiary issues from fundamental principles, as well as categorise, distinguish, and place different subject matters in their appropriate place, but he is not trustworthy and might misguide you from where you do not know”. [3]

Thus, it is only fitting that the seekers of knowledge should be aware of the individuals they accompany or acquire their knowledge from. The poet said, “Do not ask about a man, but ask about his companion because every person guides himself by his companion”. [Al-Ibaanah 2/439] Translated by Spubs

Ibn Mas’ood said, “Indeed, a person walks along & accompanies the one whom he loves & who is like him”. [Al-Ibaanah 2/476] Translated by Spubs

Abu Dardaa said, “It is from the Fiqh (understanding of a person) that he (chooses) those whom he walks with, whom he enters upon (visits) & whom he sits with”. [Al-Ibaanah 2/477] Translated by Spubs

Al-A’mash said, “The Salaf did not used to ask anything more about a person after having asked three affairs: Who he walks with, who he enters upon (visits) & who he associates with amongst the people”. [al-Ibaanah 2/478] Translated by Spubs

Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud said, “Make consideration of the (regions of the) earth by the names given to them & make consideration of a person by his companion”. [al-Ibaanah 2/479] Translated by Spubs

Mu’aadh Bin Mu’aadh said to Yahyah Bin Sa’eed, O Abu Sa’eed! A person may hide his viewpoint from us, but will not be able to hide that in his son, or his friend or in one whom he sits with”. [Al-Ibaanah 2/437] Translated by Spubs

Thus, should the duplicitous Faris perceive himself as undergoing a trial of this nature, it may indeed serve a beneficial purpose, compelling him to embrace honesty in his declarations, associations, and deeds, particularly if he genuinely advocates for Salafiyyah. Nevertheless, upon expressing his sentiment of being tested, he requested that the brothers who continue to engage in such matters should fear Allah and focus on more beneficial pursuits. From this, we can draw several noteworthy observations as follows:

He implores those who engage in this matter to cultivate a profound reverence for Allah. It is indeed commendable that Faris encourages individuals to embrace this fear, and we should always heed such reminders. However, it is equally essential to explore the underlying principles that necessitate this fear of Allah. In this context, such reverence compels one to uphold the truth, denounce falsehood, champion what is right, and provide clarity in all matters. Dr. Muhammad Bin Hadi has overstepped by issuing a Tabdee against some senior Salafi students. Is there any alternative course of action available, other than ensuring that Dr. Muhammad publicly retracts his erroneous Tabdee? This would liberate him from the unjust burden of seeking to undermine the integrity of these senior students of knowledge, based solely on speculation, transgression, and impulsiveness. This is why Al-Allamah Rabee and Al-Allamah Ubaid reprimanded him because he has transgressed. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one”. People asked, “O Allah’s Messenger! It is all right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?” The Prophet said, “By preventing him from oppressing others.” [4]

What actions is Faris undertaking to persuade Dr. Muhammad Bin Hadi to retract the erroneous Tabdee, instead of merely invoking the phrase “Fear Allah” to evade his obligations? Furthermore, there are individuals, whether through deception or naivety, who believe that Dr. Muhammad Bin Hadi’s situation is confined to a court case. In reality, the crux of the issue lies in his issuance of a false Tabdee judgment, which he has yet to revoke. This is precisely why he faced confrontation and scrutiny from Al-Allamah Rabe Bin Hadi Al-Mad’khali. Please read further below:

https://twitter.com/AbuIyaadSP/status/1018974451269033986/photo/1

https://www.manhaj.com/manhaj/print.cfm?uyryh

Beyond the mere utterance of “Fear Allah” as a means to evade his obligations, he further asserted that one should immerse oneself in pursuits that yield more benefit. Is it truly of lesser significance to investigate the matters concerning Dr. Muhammad Bin Hadi? The turmoil he has instigated has undeniably troubled the Salafiyyoon, and should we allow this misguided Tabdee to pass unchallenged, we can anticipate the emergence of another individual who will follow suit. Subsequently, we may find yet another like Faris advising others to fear Allah and focus on what is deemed more beneficial. This is the insidious manner in which the Mu’mayyi’ah gradually stifle the essence of enjoining good and prohibiting evil under the guise of unity and the pursuit of greater benefits, rather than adhering to the clear, knowledge-based guidance provided by scholars against those who err and persist in their missteps. More than two decades ago, and even at present, certain individuals have sought to dissuade others from engaging with and scrutinising the rebuttals directed at those who remain entrenched in their errors, as articulated by Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi Al-Mad’khali, may Allah protect him. The Shaikh said:

“The people extensively read books that contained deviant viewpoints, and the libraries were decaying and being filled with misguidance and Bidah. Nonetheless, they refrained from speaking in this manner (those who object when one seeks to acquaint himself with refutation to be upon clarity about groups and individuals). However, as people started to (follow) the teachings of Allah’s Book and the Sunnah based on the methodology of the Pious Predecessors and discovered books that warned them against Bidah and misguidance, they said, “Do not busy yourselves on these matters, do not neglect knowledge”. These refutations are part of acquiring knowledge. By Allah! To be acquainted with guidance (and distinguishing) it from misguidance, recognising good and (distinguishing it) from evil, are knowledge that will safeguard a person, as Hudhaifah, may Allah be pleased with him, said, ‘The people used to ask the Messenger about the good, but I used to ask him about the evil out of fear of falling into it’. The books of the proponents of Bidah and misguidance should be made known through the books that debunk them. Many young people were ruined when deprived of the likes of these books that protect them. These books offer a shield of protection for the youth”. [5]

Therefore, is it not essential for those who enquire to gain comprehension of the sound Manhaj position regarding the erroneous Tabdee proclaimed by Dr. Muhammad Bin Hadi? Have those scholars, Al-Allamah Rabee, Al-Allamah Ubaid, and Shaikh Abdullah Al-Bukhari, squandered their efforts in cautioning us about the perils of this misguided Tabdee? Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi Al-Madkhali, may preserve him, said: “Numerous Fitan have transpired, including the fitna of the Khawaarij, the Rawaafid, and killing. Instances of deviation and misguidance have occurred, often linked to conflicts and trials concerning politics, creed, methodology, and similar matters… Therefore, during every trial, they (the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah) must openly proclaim the truth and clarify it for the people. They should distinguish – for them – between guidance and misguidance, truth and falsehood, how the people will be safeguarded from these trials, the path through which they will be saved from entering into trials and other affairs (through which) Allah guides this (victorious) group when (they) face every trial”. [6]

Then Faris stated: “This happened years ago….”

How intriguing it is that a grave error committed long ago seems to fade in importance, even while the individual responsible continues to uphold it! The controversies surrounding figures like Al-Halabi, Al-Maghrawi, Al-Maribi, Al-Hajuri, and Falih Al-Harbi may have occurred in the distant past, yet they remain subjects of scrutiny due to their unwavering adherence to their misjudgements. Similarly, those who erred centuries ago and did not retract their statements continue to face criticism, with scholars cautioning against their writings and fallacies. So, what of the individual whose erroneous stance on false Tabdee persists, with supporters still rallying to his side, while he remains unrepentant? Yet, Faris dismissively claims, “This happened years ago…” Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “People were (sometimes) judged by the revealing of a Divine revelation during the lifetime of Allah’s Messenger but now there is no longer any more (new revelation). Now we judge you by the deeds you practice publicly, so we will trust and favour the one who does good deeds in front of us, and we will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret, because Allah will judge him for that; but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us an evil deed even if he claims that his intentions were good”. [7]

Imam Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: “Whoever manifests good, it will be accepted from him and a good suspicion is held about him. And if he manifests evil, it will be held against him and an evil suspicion is held about him”. [8]

Indeed, the challenges faced by others far surpass those endured by the deceitful Faris! Consider the esteemed Al-Allamah Rabee and Al-Allamah Ubaid, under whose guidance and other senior scholars Dr. Muhammad Bin Hadi flourished in his quest for knowledge. Yet, when Dr. Muhammad remained stubborn in his misguided Tabdee, they admonished him. Furthermore, what of the senior teachers at Spubs, who have been acquainted with Dr. Muhammad for an extensive period? Despite their long-standing relationship, they took it upon themselves to elucidate his situation when he continued to cling to his errors. Read below:

https://abukhadeejah.com/muhammad-hadi-allegations-and-response-of-the-major-scholars/

This is because the essence lies in the absence of unwavering loyalty to any individual; instead, the Muslim’s loyalty is solely to the truth, as articulated by Al-Allamah Zayd Bin Hadi Al-Mad’khali, may Allah’s mercy be upon him:

“There is no (unrestricted or unconditional) allegiance except to Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, because he is infallible and never speaks out of his desires. As for unrestricted allegiance to personalities whether they are correct or mistaken, then indeed this is not permissible for the seeker of knowledge. On the other hand, he should look to such and such Shaikhs as to which of them is upon uprightness and is following the Manhaj of the Salaf. This is the one whom we place our hands on his hands- not out of blameworthy blind following, but rather, because he is upon the truth. So we agree with him upon truth and follow a singular path in obedience to the statement of Allaah [The Mighty and Majestic]: [وَأَنَّ هَٰذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتَّبِعُوهُ ۖ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَن سَبِيلِهِ – And verily, this is my Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His Path] [6:153]
As for the one who selects Shaikhs, leaders, and guides, whilst agreeing with them- in what is correct and wrong- to the extent that they do not leave their Manhaj whether they are correct or wrong, then these are the people who bring evil upon themselves and others. And if they do not repent, then they are most worthy of being blamed. So the affair-and all praise belongs to Allah- is clear and it is not permissible for a person to be in confusion regarding this affair. We are with those who follow the straight path – a singular path that Allah, The Mighty and Majestic, has commanded us to follow and the messenger called us to. And those you follow the wrong path or are mistaken in many of their affairs, or some of their affairs, we leave him [i.e. we leave his mistakes or abandon him when he deserves to be boycotted]. None is followed in everything except the Messenger of Allah. As for the people, they can be correct or mistaken. Indeed, we do not follow them and we do not follow their footsteps solely because they are Shaikhs, callers to Islam, leaders or guides; rather you should be with the people of the Salafi Manhaj-those who follow the correct Manhaj and correct understanding”. [9]

Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi Al-Mad’khali, may Allah preserve him, stated: “Concerning the individual who possesses the evidence, it is incumbent to accept their speech based on adherence to Allah’s Legislation and Proofs, rather than the personality of that individual”. [10]

The Shaikh also said, “The seeker of truth is not diverted from the truth, fairness, and justice due to admiration of the big personalities and being amazed by them, for indeed the truth is more worthy to be followed. It is not permissible to drop the proofs for the sake of this or that great man. The principle of the Muslim – the unbiased one, the seeker of truth – is always: [قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ -Say, bring forth your proofs if you are truthful]. [Surah An-Nahl. Verse 64] [11]

In addition, there should be no flattery, as emphasised by Imam Ash-Shawkaanee: “We often see a man who holds a belief that aligns with truth and correctness. However, when he speaks to someone who disagrees with him- one who is inclined towards something of the innovated matters in the religion, and especially if that person holds a position of leadership or worldly wealth, not to mention a king, he agrees with him, strengthens, supports and aids him against others. The least in such circumstances is that he would hide what he believes is the truth and show contempt – in the presence of a person from whom it is neither possible to receive harm nor benefit – towards what has become clear to him is the right thing, so, what about someone from whom harm and benefit are possible? This behavior is essentially prioritising worldly things and the life of this world over the religion and the afterlife. If he observed and reflected upon what has happened to him, he would have realised that his inclination toward the (vain) desires of a man, two men, three or more individuals – among those he compliments within that gathering, conceals the truth to be in agreement with them and to gain affection, acquire their possessions, and avoid being isolated by them -is a deficiency in upholding the truth and tantamount to exalting falsehood. If it were not for the fact that these individuals hold a higher position in his eyes than the Lord, he would not have been inclined to their (vain) desires and abandoned what he knows to be what Allah wants and demands from His servants”. [12]

In conclusion, duplicitous Faris said: “This fitnah about Shaykh Muhammad bin Hadi and wallaahi this is not a subject or a topic that should be discussed publicly and especially among people or laymen or young students of knowledge. Discussing this and making you know walaa and baraa because of this matter, this is foolishness and this is from the shaytaan and this will divide the Muslims wAllahu ta’aala A’lam, get busy with what benefits you that’s better and this is not something that is beneficial and valuable.”

Observation: To begin with, is Faris feigning ignorance to the alarming extent of the Fitna surrounding Dr. Muhammad Bin Hadi and the reprehensible conduct of his fervent followers, Al-Musafiqah? Does he genuinely believe that his actions should not be scrutinised and discussed in the public sphere, although his false Tabdee unfolded before all eyes? Shaikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: If a man commits evil openly, denouncing him openly is not tantamount to backbiting him. It is obligatory to chastise him openly with what would prevent him from (the evil), such as boycotting and other than that”. [13]

Imam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz, may Allah have mercy upon him, was asked: When should advice be given in private or openly?

Response: The one giving advice does what is best. If he sees that it is more beneficial in secret, he advises secretly; if he sees that it is more beneficial to do so openly, he does so. However, if the sin is committed secretly, the advice can only be given secretly. If he knows about his brother that he sins in secret, he advises him in secret and does not expose him. But if the sin is committed openly- seen by the people, for example, a person starts drinking alcohol in a gathering, then one must denounce it openly; or if a person started calling (others) to drink alcohol or to fornicate, whilst one is present, he should say, “O my brother! This is not permissible”. [14]

Subsequently, Faris invoked “The Layman Card,” which has echoed for almost thirty years, often uttered by those who seek refuge behind it to evade accountability when confronted with the necessity of honesty. Ironically, it is these same laymen who, in the absence of clarity, become pawns in the hands of the very deceivers who insist they should remain uninvolved. Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali, may Allah preserve him, was asked, “What do you say about an individual who advises people not to listen to refutations, when asked why he took this stance, he answered, ‘The person who asked me about this was a common person, and he is unable to recite the Quran properly’. What is your comment on this? May Allah bless you”.

Response: If he is a layman, he must be taught the Islamic creed and warned against ahlul bidah. Because the majority of ordinary people have become supporters of the people of bidah these days, it is necessary to warn them. Say to him, “So and so is on such and such bidah, and you will be harmed if you listen to him.” This is done so that they will not read (his books), listen to his audio tapes, and will be cautious of his statements. This layman needs someone to caution him and remind him of the principle, “This knowledge is religion so look at whom you take your religion from”. During these times, the common people are targeted by the people of bidah, who will tell you, “Do not let them read the books of refutations.” No. No. This will expose them (the people) to destruction. [15]

Then Faris expressed that the matter concerning Dr. Muhammad is being transformed into a divisive issue of Walaa and Baraa, deeming such behavior as folly and a ploy of Shaytaan. He cautioned that this could lead to a rift among Muslims, urging instead a focus on pursuits that yield what is more beneficial, for such endeavours are better and more valuable!

Observation: Faris’s approach once again reminds us that it is indeed the case that when an individual consciously chooses to evade their responsibilities from the very beginning, they often resort to uttering something either malevolent or nonsensical to mask their wrongdoing. There is no doubt that this situation must be examined through the lens of love and hatred for the sake of Allah, as we detest injustice and transgression. We harbour disdain for the unfounded Tabdee made by Dr. Muhammad Bin Hadi, and we abhor his stubbornness and unwillingness to retract this falsehood. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stated: “Whoever loves for the sake of Allah, hates for the sake of Allah, gives for the sake of Allah, and withholds for the sake of Allah has perfected the faith”. [16] We ask Allah to include us among those who hate what He hates and loves what He loves Ameen.

In this context, what Faris considers to be from Shaytaan is absolutely not the case in the twinkling of an eye, rather, whoever assesses the situation honestly will discern – by the Tawfeeq of Allah – precisely between the influences of Shaytaan and the genuine emotions of love and hate. It is undoubtedly an act of Shaytaan to obscure the truth or to condone the misdeeds of Dr. Muhammad Bin Hadi, regardless of an individual’s awareness. Conversely, to reject the transgressions and obstinacy exhibited by Dr. Muhammad Bin Hadi is a manifestation of justifiable disdain. From this vantage point, Faris’s attempts to articulate his objections reveal a profound folly, as he naively seeks to label a sound pursuit and stance as misguided. Were this issue trivial, esteemed scholars and diligent senior students would not have taken the time to elucidate the matter and offer guidance on the appropriate stance to adopt.

Then Faris said that engaging in the matter in a manner he finds objectionable will lead to a rift among Muslims. To illuminate this point, we can refer to a hadith that underscores the root of the discord: it stems from Dr. Muhammad’s overstepping and his unwavering commitment to the erroneous practice of false Tabdee, thus he became the one prolonging the dispute because he refuses to abandon this sin. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “There are not two people who love each other for the sake of Allaah, and then they split from each other, except that it is due to a sin of one of them”.  Al-Allamah Zayd Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said: This hadith shows that to love one another- the religious and worldly benefits it contains – is legislated in the Shariah. Regarding the religious benefits of this love, (it brings about) cooperation upon righteousness and piety. As for its worldly benefits, it (results in attaining those) necessities of life that are sought after. Those who love one another are attached and remain upon that until one of them commits a sin that leads to the destruction of this legislated love- the love that was established for the sake of Allah and the sake of Islamic brotherhood. Therefore, it is a good thing that the person abandons the sin he committed, which was the cause of separation between them so that brotherhood for the sake of Allaah is restored as it was before, and so that both the religious and worldly benefits of that brotherly love can continue. The basis of the sin committed by one of them may have occurred without any external influence (i.e. it was solely the person’s fault), or it may have occurred due to tale-bearing and instigated by some of the devils amongst mankind- those who hasten to cause corruption in the earth. Loving one another for the sake of Allaah [The Mighty and Majestic] carries a reward that has been mentioned in the Shari’ah texts. Abu Hurairah [may Allaah be pleased with him] reported that the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “Allaah will give shade to seven on the day when there will be no shade but His”’…and amongst those people are “Two people who love each other only for the sake of Allaah and they meet and part in Allaah’s cause only”. [17]

It is this very clarity that deceitful Faris attempts to elude, resorting instead to feeble justifications to uphold his absurdities. He mistakenly believes he possesses the right to voice an opinion; however, what is truly incumbent on him is to either convey the truth or maintain silence, thereby avoiding the embarrassment of exposing his own deceitful and superficial comprehension. His misguided attempts to obscure the distinctions between virtue and vice, integrity, and falsehood, only serve to highlight his folly.
