[2] O Ustaadh Musa Richardson! Let’s see what foolishness is in reality

Imam Ash-Shaatibi, may Allah have mercy upon him, stated:

Know that Allah has established this Shariah as proof against the creation (humankind and jinn) – the old and young alike, the obedient and the disobedient, the righteous and the wicked. He did not specify the proof against anyone in exclusion of another one. Also, all the other revealed laws were established as proof against all the nations to whom they were revealed. The Shariah is the judge- in general, and specifically; the judge on all those who have reached the age of responsibility. It is the path attached to (what Allah has ordained) and it is the Greatest Guide. Have you not heard the statement of Allah, The Most High:

وَكَذَٲلِكَ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ رُوحً۬ا مِّنۡ أَمۡرِنَاۚ مَا كُنتَ تَدۡرِى مَا ٱلۡكِتَـٰبُ وَلَا ٱلۡإِيمَـٰنُ وَلَـٰكِن جَعَلۡنَـٰهُ نُورً۬ا نَّہۡدِى بِهِۦ مَن نَّشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَاۚ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَہۡدِىٓ إِلَىٰ صِرَٲطٍ۬ مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ۬

And thus We have sent to you (O Muhammad) Ruhan (an Inspiration, and a Mercy) of Our Command. You knew not what is the Book, nor what is Faith? But We have made it (this Qur’an) a light wherewith We guide whosoever of Our slaves We will. And verily, you (O Muhammad) are indeed guiding (mankind) to the Straight Path (i.e. Allah’s religion of Islamic Monotheism). [Ash-Shura 52]

He (the Prophet) – peace and blessings of Allah be upon him- was the first to be guided to the Book and Iman, and then those who followed him. The Book is the Guide and also the Sunnah that was revealed to him explains that guidance (i.e. the Sunnah and the Qur’an explain each other). All the creation (mankind and Jinn) are guided through it. Therefore, when this is the case that the Shariah is worthy of being a decisive proof against them and a beacon by way of which they are guided to the truth, their nobility is determined by the extent to which they embrace its rulings- through acting upon them in speech, belief, and deeds– and not merely due to the level of their intellects or their nobility amongst their people. That is because Allah, The Most High, has determined nobility through Taqwa and no other than it. Allah, The Most High, said:

إِنَّ أَڪۡرَمَكُمۡ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَتۡقَٮٰكُمۡۚ

Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa] [49:13] [1]

We asked biased Ustaadh Musa Richardson: “What relevance do the demand for justice and Dalil have with the statement ‘Scholars are Allāh’s witnesses’? Either he is flattering others or  making a ridiculous attempt to insult our intelligence. Just because scholars are considered Allah’s witnesses, does that mean we should not question anyone or seek proof and justice? Only a fool would express or suggest such absurdity, or perhaps he simply enjoys hearing his own voice. We reiterate:

“Where is the clear, unambiguous knowledge-based evidence for the Tabdee against Ustaadh Abu Iyaad and the claim that he is a plant?”

Enough with the nonsense; provide us with clear proof. This is the expectation for all mature students of knowledge. With this question and demand of ours, what foolishness in reality is coming from the UK as you claim?! It is very clear that the foolishness is coming from you!

Al-Khattaabee, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

(Unjustified) evil suspicion is the source of an abundance of lies. [2]

The reality of foolishness is to place something in other than its rightful place. [3]

A fool imagines the impossible as the possible and the ignorant cannot differentiate the impossible from the possible. The fool knows the right thing but does not act upon it, and the ignorant one does not know the right thing, but would have acted upon it if he knew. [4]

A fool imagines the impossible as the possible and the ignorant cannot differentiate the impossible from the possible. The fool knows the right thing but does not act upon it, and the ignorant one does not know the right thing, but would have acted upon it if he knew”. [3]

O Ustaadh Musa Richardson! You lack sound judgment in this matter we are addressing, refuse correction, ignore evidence, persist in error despite opportunities to learn and you are intoxicated with name-dropping.

O Ustaadh Musa Richardson! The Shabab can see foolishness as clearly as the mid day sun. They are not interested in your emotional appeals, profuse speech, ranting etc.

We are all still waiting for the unambiguous knowledge-based proof that Ustaadh Abu Iyaad is a plant, as well as your stance regarding the Tabdee.

Stop the nonsense and provide clear proof. This is what is known regarding all mature students of knowledge.

The Danger of Oppression

Abu Musa, may Allah be pleased with him, said, Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “Verily, Allah will give respite to the oppressor until when He seizes him and he cannot escape”. Then he [i.e. the Messenger] recited the verse:

وَكَذَٲلِكَ أَخۡذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَآ أَخَذَ ٱلۡقُرَىٰ وَهِىَ ظَـٰلِمَةٌ‌ۚ إِنَّ أَخۡذَهُ ۥۤ أَلِيمٌ۬ شَدِيدٌ

Such is the Seizure of your Lord when He seizes the (population of) towns while they are doing wrong. Verily, His Seizure is painful, and severe]. [Hud. 102]

Al-Allamah Zaid Bin Hadi Al-Mad’khali, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

There is a warning against oppression in this lofty hadith- oppression against oneself through different levels and types of sins. The one whom Allah has given wealth, good health, safety and stability while he persists upon sin, this is Allah’s plan in stages against this sinner because he deserves it;

 وَلَا يَظۡلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدً۬ا

And your Lord treats no one with injustice. [Al-Kahf. 49]

There’s a warning – in this hadith – against oppressing others because the one who oppresses others is called an oppressor and the one who oppresses himself through sins is called an oppressor. Therefore, the one who oppresses himself and the one who oppresses others are (exposed) to great danger in this life, in the grave and in the afterlife. If Allah gives him respite and does not hasten punishment against him, then indeed Allah reserves for him the punishment he deserves due to the statement of Allah:

وَكَذَٲلِكَ أَخۡذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَآ أَخَذَ ٱلۡقُرَىٰ وَهِىَ ظَـٰلِمَةٌ‌ۚ إِنَّ أَخۡذَهُ ۥۤ أَلِيمٌ۬ شَدِيدٌ

Such is the Seizure of your Lord when He seizes the (population of) towns while they are doing wrong. Verily, His Seizure is painful, and severe.

This is how the hadith is in agreement with the noble verse, that if Allah gives respite to an oppressor, it is not that Allah has neglected his affair. If Allah delays punishment against him in the worldly life, Allah multiplies it for him in the hereafter, thus, he is recompensed based on what he did and the evil deeds he committed. Allah is the possessor of (perfect) wisdom, because He recompenses a doer based on his deed- good recompense for good deeds and evil recompense for evil deeds. [1]

Allah, The Most High, said:

وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ خَاصَّةً‏
وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ‏

And fear a trial (of affliction) which does not affect (only) those who have done wrong among you in particular. And know that Allāh is severe in punishment. [Al-Anfal 25]

وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ خَاصَّةً‏

And fear a trial (of affliction) which does not affect (only) those who have done wrong among you in particular.

Imam As-Sadi, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

Rather, it afflicts the perpetrator of oppression and others as well. This is because when oppression is apparent and is not stopped or resisted, then indeed, its punishment (afflicts) both the perpetrator and other than him. This Fitna is averted through forbidding evil, suppressing the people of evil and corruption, and so that they are not able to commit sins and oppression as much as possible (to prevent it). [2]

[12] Still Waiting! Where’s The Clear, Unambiguous, Knowledge-Based Shariah Proof for the Tabdee

Allah, The Most High, said:

سَيَقُولُونَ ثَلَاثَةٌ رَّابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًا بِالْغَيْبِ ۖ وَيَقُولُونَ سَبْعَةٌ وَثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ ۚ قُل رَّبِّي أَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِم مَّا يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ ۗ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِيهِمْ إِلَّا مِرَاءً ظَاهِرًا وَلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيهِم مِّنْهُمْ أَحَدًا

[Some] say they were three, the dog being the fourth among them; (others) say they were five, the dog being the sixth, guessing at the unseen; (yet others) say they were seven, the dog being the eighth. Say (O Muhammad): “My Lord knows best their number; none knows them but a few.” So debate not (about their number, etc.) except with the clear proof (which We have revealed to you). And consult not any of them (people of the Scripture) about (the affair of) the people of the Cave. [Al-Kahf 22]

Allah informed us of the differing between the people of the scripture regarding the number of the people of the cave- a differing out of guessing at the unseen, forging statements and speaking about that which they have no knowledge. Some of them said that the people of the cave were three in number and their dog was the fourth, and others said that the people of the cave were five in number and their dog was the sixth. Allah said that these two statements are tantamount to guessing at the unseen, thus this indicates that they are false. Amongst them were those who said that the people of the cave were seven in number and their dog was the eighth. This statement- and Allah knows best- is what is correct because Allah declared the first two statements false but did not declare this third one to be false, indicating that it is correct.

This differing is one that neither carries any benefit nor are the people benefited by knowing the number of the people of the cave. It contains neither a benefit related to religion nor the worldly affairs and that is why Allah stated:

قُل رَّبِّي أَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِم مَّا يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ ۗ

Say (O Muhammad):My Lord knows best their number; none knows them but a few; and they are those who know what is correct and known for being upon what is correct.

فَلَا تُمَارِ فِيهِمْ إِلَّا مِرَاءً ظَاهِرً

So debate not (about their number, etc.) except with the clear proof (which We have revealed to you) –

Meaning, based upon knowledge, certainty and about that which contains benefit. As for debating based on ignorance and guessing at the unseen or about that which has no benefit- either the debater being obstinate or the affair being debated having no benefit- neither any religious nor worldly benefit, such as the number of the people of the cave and what is similar to it, too much debate and continuous research regarding it is a waste of time, and it makes the hearts have a strong love for that which has no benefit.

وَلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيهِم مِّنْهُمْ أَحَدً

And consult not any of them (people of the Scripture, Jews and Christians) about (the affair of) the people of the Cave] – Meaning, because their speech regarding it is based on guessing at the unseen, and conjecture can be of no avail against the truth.

ففيها دليل على المنع من استفتاء من لا يصلح للفتوى، إما لقصوره في الأمر المستفتى فيه، أو لكونه لا يبالي بما تكلم به، وليس عنده ورع يحجزه، وإذا نهي عن استفتاء هذا الجنس، فنهيه هو عن الفتوى، من باب أولى وأحرى. وفي الآية أيضا، دليل على أن الشخص، قد يكون منهيا عن استفتائه في شيء، دون آخر. فيستفتى فيما هو أهل له، بخلاف غيره، لأن الله لم ينه عن استفتائهم مطلقا، إنما نهى عن استفتائهم في قصة أصحاب الكهف، وما أشبهها.

In this is proof for the prohibition of seeking fatwa from one who is unfit to give Fatwa, either because of his deficiency in the matter being asked about, or because he speaks carelessly without giving concern to what he says, and does not possess the [ورع – i.e. the fear of Allah that stops a person from avoiding ambiguous matters out of fear of falling into Haraam] that would restrain him. If people are forbidden from consulting such a person, then his being forbidden from issuing fatwas is even more appropriate and worthy.

Also in the verse is that a person may be prohibited from being consulted for Fatwa in one matter but not in another. Thus, he may be asked about matters in which he is qualified and not others, for indeed, Allah did not prohibit consulting them absolutely; rather, He only prohibited consulting them regarding the story of the People of the Cave and similar matters. [Paraphrased] [end of quote] [An Excerpt from Tayseer Al-Kareem Ar-Rahmaan Fee Tafseer Kalaam al-Mannaan]

This is indeed a beautiful and clear matter. Where is the ورع of those who concoct scenarios, misrepresent words, distort them, and remove them from their context, then proceed to pass a verdict against a man who is well known for his Salafiyyah and defence of it for over three decades? Yet everyone is expected to remain either a passive bystander or an aider in the oppression. We ask Allah for safety. Once again, we ask: “Where is the clear, unambiguous, knowledge-based proof for the tabdīʿ against Shaikh Abu Iyaad and the other claims made about him without proof?” May Allah protect us and him from every evil. Āmīn.

In a clarification of his regarding Tabdee, Al-Allamah Rabee’ bin Hadi al-Mad’khali, may Allah have mercy upon him, concluded his advice as follows:

فنصيحتي لطلاب العلم أن يعتصموا بالكتاب والسنة وأن ينضبطوا بمنهج السلف في كل ناحية من نواحي دينهم، وخاصة في باب التكفير والتفسيق والتبديع حتى لا يكثر الجدال والخصام في هذه القضايا.
وأوصي الشباب السلفي خاصة بأن يجتنبوا الأسباب التي تثير الأضغان والاختلاف والتفرق، الأمور التي أبغضها الله وحذّر منها، وحذّر منها الرسول الكريم صلى الله عليه وسلم والصحابة الكرام والسلف الصالح، وأن يجتهدوا في إشاعة أسباب المودّة والأخوة فيما بينهم، الأمور التي يحبها الله ويحبها رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وصلى الله على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم.

Therefore, my advice to the students of knowledge is that they adhere firmly to the Book and the Sunnah;

[وأن ينضبطوا بمنهج السلف في كل ناحية من نواحي دينهم – and that they are orderly within established methodological boundaries, restrained and grounded] based upon the methodology of the Salaf in every aspect from the various aspects of their religion, particularly in the subject matter regarding Takfir, Tafsiq, and Tabdee, so that there is not too much back-and-forth disputation and contention.

I advise the Salafi youth, in particular, to avoid the causes that incite rancour, (blameworthy) differing, and splitting — the matters that Allah hates and warned against, and which were warned against by the noble Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, the noble Companions, and the pious predecessors. They should strive to promote the things that bring about affection and brotherhood among themselves, which Allah loves and which are loved by His Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.  [وصلى الله على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم] Paraphrased [1] [end of quote]

We ask again: “Where are the clear, unambiguous knowledge-based proofs for the Tabdee against Shaikh Abu Iyaad?” May Allah protect him.

Strive to Avoid Five Destructive Things

Imam Fudayl Bin Iyaad, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

Whoever avoids five (things), then indeed he is protected from the evil of the worldly life and the afterlife: self-amazement, riyaa, arrogance, seeking leadership, and Fame.

Impeccable Scholarly Impartiality Even Toward the Worst of Ahlul Bidah!

The Story

The Khawarij captured Abdullah, the son of Khabbab bin Al-Aratt, a noble companion of the Messenger. They questioned him, asking, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am Abdullah bin Khabbab.” They said, “Tell us a Hadith you heard from your father, who transmitted it from the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.” He said, “I heard my father say, ‘Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “There will be a Fitnah where those who remain seated would be better than the one walking, and the one walking would be better than those who hurry. Thus, if someone must either kill or be killed, let him be killed and not be the killer.” They asked, “What do you think of Abu Bakr and Umar?” Abdullah spoke highly of them. They then asked, “What is your opinion on At-Ta’hkim (when Ali and Mu’awiyah turned to some companions to judge their dispute based on the Quran and Sunnah)?” He responded, “I believe Ali has superior knowledge of the Book of Allah, is more cautious with the religion, and possesses greater wisdom than you!” Afterward, they took him to a river and slaughtered him, and they also killed his pregnant wife, stabbing her belly.

In his explanation of Kitaab Ash-Shaaree’ah by Imam Al-Aajuree, may Allah have mercy upon him, al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi Al-Mad’khali, may Allah have mercy upon him, did not quote the full story, but he referred to the reference (number 75), stating that there is an unknown narrator in the chain; thus, he holds that the narration is neither authentic nor hasan. Then he said:

[نحن ما عندنا تحامل – we do not have bias, prejudice, partiality, or favoritism]. We do not authenticate a narration unless the trustworthiness and precision of the narrator have been firmly established. The Shaikh also briefly touched on the conditions for the authentication of a hadith up until he said:

“We hate the Kharijites and believe that they are the worst of the people and the creation. Despite this, we do not oppress them due to our belief in the obligation of justice that Islam obligates toward both Muslims and non-Muslims. Therefore, we do not pass judgment on them based on weak narrations”

[10] Still Waiting! Where’s The Clear, Unambiguous, Knowledge-Based Shariah Proof for the Tabdee

Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi Al-Mad’khali, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

إن إصدار الأحكام على أشخاص ينتمون إلى المنهج السلفي وأصواتهم تدوي بأنهم هم السلفيون بدون بيان أسباب وبدون حجج وبراهين قد سبب أضراراً عظيمة وفرقة كبيرة في كل البلدان )

Indeed, passing judgments against individuals who ascribe to the Salafi methodology – while their voices loudly (proclaim) that they are indeed the Salafis – without explaining the reasons and without proofs or evidence, has caused great harm and great splitting in all countries. [1]

The Shaikh also said:

فأنا من أبعد الناس عن التكفير ، بل من أشد الناس على المكفرين والمبدعين، وهذه كتبي وأشرطتي مبثوثة في الناس ، وما هذه المعارك التي تقومون بها إلا من أجل أنا زجرناكم عن التبديع الظالم والتأصيل الفاسد

I am among the people farthest removed from declaring others disbelievers. Rather, I am among the harshest against the Takfeeris, and the Mubaddi’in (those who pass false judgements of Tabdee). These are my books and recordings widespread among the people. And these battles you wage (against us) are not pursued except because I rebuke you for unjustly declaring people innovators and for corrupt principles. [2]

We ask again: “Where are the clear, unambiguous knowledge-based proofs for the Tabdee against Shaikh Abu Iyaad?” May Allah protect him.

Seize The Benefit of Five Things From The People Of Your Era

Ibn Abee Hatim(.328H)- may Allah have mercy upon him – said:

‘I entered Damascus and came upon the students of hadeeth, and I passed by the circle of Qaasim al Joo’ee(d.248 AH). I found a  group sitting around him and he was speaking. Their appearance amazed me; and I heard him saying:

”Seize The Benefit Of Five Things From The People Of Your Era:

“When you are present, you are not known, when you are absent you are not missed, when you are seen, your advice is not sought, when you say something, your saying is not accepted, and when you have some knowledge, you are not given anything for it.”

I also advise you with five matters:

When you are treated unjustly, do not behave unjustly, when you are praised, do not become happy, when you are criticised, do not become upset, when you are not believed, do not become angry, and if people act deceitfully towards you, do not act deceitfully towards them.”

Ibn Abee Haatim said: ”So I took that as my benefit from Damascus.”

Four things that will earn us Allāh’s Love

Ubadah Bin Samit, may Allah be pleased with him, said that he heard Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, saying that Allah, The Most High, said:

حقَّت محبتي للمتحابين فيَّ

وحقت محبتي للمتواصلين في

وحقت محبتي للمتزاورين في

وحقت محبتي للمتباذلين في

My love is assured for two (people) who love one another for My Sake. My love is assured for two (people) who maintain ties with one another for My Sake. My love is assured for two (people) who visit one another for My Sake and My love is assured for two (people) who help one another (financially) for My Sake. [1]

And in another version reported by Ibn Hibban:
