Our Salaf–Ayyoub As-Sakhtiyaanee

It was reported from Al-Hasan Al-Basri (rahimahullaah) who said:  ”Ayyoub is the leader of the youth of Basra.”  [Hilyatul Awliyaa: 3/3]

 

When Ayyoub (rahimahullaah) used to narrate a hadeeth to Ibn Seereen (rahimahullaah), he (Ibn Seereen) would say: ”The truthful one has narrated to me.” [Hilyatul Awliyaa: 3/4]

 

Ibn Shawzab (rahimahullaah) said: When Ayyoub (rahimahullaah) used to be asked a question and he had nothing about it, he would say: ”Ask the people of knowledge.” [Tabaqaat Ibn Sad: 7/247]

Abdul Hameed Bin Abdillaah Ibn Muslim Ibn Yasaar (rahimahullaah) said: When Ibn Seereen (rahimahullaah) was confined in prison, the prisoners said to him: Go to your family when night falls and come back when morning arrives.  So Ibn Seereen said: By Allaah, no.  I will not help you in deceiving the ruler.

Our Salaf–Layth Ibn Sa’d and Imaam Shaafi’ee

Layth Ibn Sad (rahimahullaah) said: If I saw a man of innovation walking upon water, I (still) would not accept from him.  So Shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah) said: Indeed, he (layth) has fallen short (in his statement); if I saw him (i.e. a man of innovation) walking in the air, I (still) would not accept from him.

So Sufyaan (rahimahullaah) said: Let the people know about his affair and ask Allaah to grant me wellbeing. [Talbees Iblees of Ibn Jawzee: page: 18]
