Zakariyyah Ibn Yahyah (rahimahullaah) said:

I heard Abu-Bakr Ibn Ayyaash (when) a man said to him: ”O AbuBakr! Who is the Sunni?” He said: Is the one that when the desires are mentioned (i.e. when the innovations are mentioned and criticized), he does not become bigoted (in defending or following) any of it.”

An-Nasr Abaadiy (rahimahullaah) said:

”The foundation of this Madhab (i.e. the Madhab of Ahlus Sunnah) is adherence to the Book and the Sunnah; abandonment of desires and innovations; to take the Salaf as an example and abandon what the late comers have invented (in the religion), and to be established upon what those who came earlier (i.e. the Salaf) followed.”

 

[Madaarij As-Saalikeen of Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) 3/149]

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:

Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthmaan, Ali and all those who were foremost to embrace Islaam of the Muhaajiroon and the Ansaar used to depart from Madeenah to Makkah to perform Hajj and Umrah, and as travellers; but it is not stated that a single one of them strove to pray at (any particular) spots in which the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) prayed.  And it is well-known that if this (practice) was something they considered recommended, they would have been more worthy to precede in it; because they were more knowledgeable about his Sunnah and followed it more than others.

Harb Al-Kirmaani (rahimahullaah) stated regarding the creed transmitted from all the Salaf that: ”If the ruler commands you an affair in which there is disobedience to Allaah, then you do not obey him at all; but you are not allowed to rebel against him nor deny him his rights.” [حادي الأرواح of Imaam Ibnul Qayyim: page: 104]

Imaam Nawawi (rahimahullaah) said:

”As for rebelling against them (i.e. the rulers) and fighting them, it is forbidden by way of consensus of the Muslims (i.e. scholars of Islam) even if they (i.e. rulers) are sinful and oppressive.  And indeed the ahaadeeth are manifestly clear regarding what we have mentioned and Ahlus Sunnah (i.e. the Ulama of Ahlus Sunnah) have consensus that the ruler is not removed due to (him being) sinful.” [Sharh An-Nawawi 12/229]

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:

”The leaders of the people of Bidah are more harmful upon the Ummah than the sinful people; so  because of this the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) commanded that the khawaarij are killed (i.e. fought and killed by the Muslim ruler) and he prohibited (us) from fighting the oppressive rulers.” [Majoo Al-Fataawaa 7/284]
