[18] Notification to Ahlul Bidah and The Mumayyi’ah: These Clarifications Are Coming Back!

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

Boycotting The Senior Heads

Al Uqaylee, may Allah have mercy upon him, reported with an established chain of transmission to Mu’ammil Ibn Ismaaeel, may Allah have mercy upon him, who said:

Abdul Azeez Ibn Abee Rawwaad died and was brought for the Janaazah prayer; then, he was placed at the door of Safaa, while the people were making Tawaaf. Ath-Thawree, may Allah have mercy upon him, came along, so the people said: “Ath-Thawri has arrived; Ath-Thawri has arrived!” So he came along (i.e. walked along) until he went past the rows- while the people looked at him; (then) he went past the Jazaanah and did not pray (i.e. did not pray the Janaazah prayer of Ibn Abee Rawwaad). The reason behind this was because Ibn Abee Rawwaad used to hold the view of Ir’jaa”. [1]

 

The Excellence of Scholars Who Take Up The Communal Obligation of Warning Against Misguidance 

Abu Salih Al-Farraa’u, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

“I narrated something regarding the fitna to Yusuf Ibn Asbaat from Wakee, may Allah have mercy upon them, so he (Yusuf) said: ‘That one is like his Shaikh; meaning Al-Hasan Ibn Yahyah (i.e. this Hasan Ibn Salih was influenced by some of the views of the khaarijites). I said to Yusuf, ‘Do you not fear that this is tantamount to back biting?’ He said, ‘Why, O idiot? I am better for these people than their fathers and mothers. I forbid the people from acting upon what they have innovated, so that they do not follow their footsteps in sin and the one who praises them is the most harmful to them'”. [2]

The Harm of The Deviated Ones

Abul Wafaa Ibn Aqeel Al-Faqee said, our Shaikh Abul Fadl Al-Hamdaani said:

“The innovators (in) Islam and the fabricators of Hadeeth are worse than the Mulhiddoon, because the Mulhiddon aim to corrupt Islam from the outside, while these (people) want to corrupt it from within. They (i.e. the innovators and the fabricators of hadeeth) are similar to the people of a country who try to corrupt its state of affairs and the heretics are similar to those who lay a siege from the outside; so the ones from within (i.e. the innovators and fabricators of hadeeth) open the fortress. Therefore, they are more harmful to Islam than those who do not (attribute) themselves to it outwardly”. [3]
