قال أبو الجوزاء
لِأَنْ أجالس الخنازير أحب إِلَيَّ من أن أجالس أحدا من أهل الأهواء
Abul Jawzaa (rahimahullaah) said:
That I should sit with pigs is more beloved to me than that I should sit with anyone from the people of desires (i.e. ahlul bidah)

[Al-Ibaanah’ of Ibn Battah b2/438]
Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him) stated:
Much effort was made with well thought out plans to lead many people astray from this (Salafi) methodology. This path became surrounded with methodologies (Madhāhib) that fiercely opposed it. They did not want anyone to establish this (Salafi) methodology because it is the true Islam in which there is no worship to other than Allāh and no (unconditional) obedience to other than Muhammad, the Messenger of Allāh (sallahualayhiwasallam), and thus causing the partisan, sectarian, political calls and others to fall. No place would remain for them so they stroved to attach the youth to the heads of sectarian groups, different parties and slogan carriers. (From the lecture ‘Asbāb Al-Inhirāf’ )
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] stated: Ahlul Ahwaa [The people who are driven by their vain desires], such as the Mutazilah, the khawaarij, the Rawaafid, and others, are the ones responsible for causing the wars and discord. Fitnah (turmoil) only arises from them and is a result of them. Who was responsible for the assassination of Uthmaan? Who was behind the murder of Ali? Who were the ones that ignited turmoil among the Muslims thereafter? It was none other than these individuals driven by their desires. Who misled Al-Mamoon and those rulers who came after him to persecute Ahlus Sunnah, and ultimately led to the beating and imprisonment of their Imam – Ahmad Bin Hanbal? It was none else other than Ahlul Ahwaa! Who initiated the imprisonment of Shaikh Al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah until he died in prison? It was none else other than Ahlul Ahwaa! It is our responsibility to exercise caution towards these people, as their fitnah ultimately results in the fragmentation of Muslim unity, rebellion against Muslim leaders, and splitting within the Muslim community, leading to the emergence of divergent groups and parties. This stands in stark contrast to the concept of a united Ummah.
An Excerpt from this audio. [paraphrased]
Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali (may Allaah preserve him) stated:
How numerous are those who tell lies today against the carries of Salafiyyah and its callers! And to what extent do they (spread) rumors carried from them until they reach distant lands! They hinder men from the path of Allaah by way of them and seek crookedness therein, and to aid falsehood, spurious affairs, innovations, affairs that are destructive to the sound creed and methodology and the virtuous manners.
