Our Salaf: Ibn Seereen

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Shu-aib (rahimahullaah) narrated: I said to Ibn Seereen: ‘’what is your view concerning listening to the people of desires (i.e. ahlul bidah)? He said: ”We neither listen to them nor honour (them).” [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 4/611]

Hishaam (rahimahullaah) narrated from Muhammad Ibn Seereen (rahimahullaah) who said: Whenever a man wished to travel for trade, he was told: ”Fear Allaah (The Most High) and seek that which has been decreed for you; because if you seek it from other than that, you will not get more than what has been decreed for you.” [Hilyatul Awliyaa: 2/263]
