Our Salaf: Bishr Ibn Mansoor-Minimise the (number) of people you (want) to know

He (rahimahullaah) said: ”Minimise (the number) of people you (want) to know because you do not know what is going to happen; for if it is going to be open disgrace on the day of standing (i.e. day of judgement), then those who know you will be few.”

Bishr (rahimahullaah) once prayed for a long time and a man behind him was looking at him; so when Bishr finished, he reminded the man, saying: ”Do not be amazed by what you saw from me, because Iblees worshipped Allaah alongside the Angels for such and such time (i.e. before Iblees was cursed and condemned for his disobedience).

Our Salaf: Amr Ibn Deenaar (rahimahullaah)–his ears were bounded to the scholars

Ibn Taawoos (rahimahullaah) said: My father (rahimahullaah) said: When you arrive in Makkah sit with Amr Ibn Deenaar, because his ears used to be bounded to the scholars.  He used to sleep one third of the night, spoke (about knowledge in the second) one third and prayed in the (last) third.  Ibn Uyaynah (rahimahullaah) said: I sat with Amr for two years and he never made a statement that harmed me.

[Part 1] The Reality of Abu Eesaa Niamatullaah–A Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing

All praise be to Allaah and may His Salaah and Salaam be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and companions.  To proceed:

 

Indeed, the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ‘’Three things destroy: The greed that is obeyed, the desires that are followed and a person being amazed with his own opinion. [Silsilah Al-hadeeth as-saheehah: Number: 1802: 4/412-416]

 

Shaikh Raslaan (may Allaah preserve him) said:

This (i.e. these three affairs) are never in harmony with a (person’s) complete return to the command of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) [For further details: See:  Ash-Shi-aaraat Wahdahaa Laa Takfee: page: 35].

 

The Shaikh also said:

Indeed the great religion of Islaam is founded upon knowledge and not ignorance; but when a person is amazed with himself and his opinion, and when splitting occurs in the Ummah in the big affairs of knowledge and every foolish one formulates his own independent judgement; there comes about an uncontrollable chaos and it then proceeds upon a path that has no halter, and then it becomes an affair of trial, corruption, confusion and deviation, and an affair in which truth is confounded with falsehood…[end of quote] [For further details see: Ash-Shi-aaraat Wahdahaa Laa Takfee: page:39 and footnote number 1]

 

This short article is a reminder to the salafi brothers and sisters in Manchester concerning the real state of affairs of Abu Eesaa Niqmatullaah.  This brother is well known to the Salafiyyoon at Al-Markaz As-Salafi (Cheethamhill–Manchester).  He is a deceiver and caller to some of the people of bidah and hizbiyyah.  His companionship with some of the people of bidah is well-known; rather he openly declares his allegiance to such people.  Although he may utter statements which the common people regard to be in harmony with the Manhaj of the Salaf, however this is all in contradiction to his real state of affairs.  Shaikh Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said: ‘’The sensible person does not (merely) look at what is apparent, rather he looks at the reality.’’ [Al-Uboodiyyah]

The Reality of Abu Eesaa Niqmatullaah

Reader: After reading the following narrations of the Salaf, then visit the link below them to find out the reality of Abu Eesaa

 

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:

‘’And Imaan is known about a man, just as all the states of his heart are known by way of his (outward) allegiances, enmities, his rejoicing, anger, hunger, thirst, and other such affairs.  For these matters have certain outward binding necessities [Lawaazim Dhaahirah] and the outward matters necessitate inward matters.  And this is a matter known, the people know this concerning the one that they have experienced and tested.  [Minhaajus Sunnah: 8/475][http://www.salafipublications.com/sp…articlePages=1]

 

Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallaahu-anhu) said:

Indeed a person walks alongside and accompanies the one whom he loves and who is like him.’’ [Al-Ibaanah: 2/2476] [http://www.salafipublications.com/sp…articlePages=1]

 

Imaam Al-Awzaa’ee (rahimahullaah) said:

Whoever hides his innovation from us will not be able to hide his companionship from us.’’ [Al-Ibaanah: 2/476][ http://www.salafipublications.com/sp…articlePages=1]

 

Al-Amash (rahimahullaah) said:

‘’They (salaf) did not used to ask anything more about a person after having asked about three affairs: Who he walks with, who he enter upon (i.e. visits) and who he associates with amongst the people.’’ [Al-Ibaanah:2/478][http://www.salafipublications.com/sp…articlePages=1]

 

Abdullaah Bin Mas’ood (radiyallaahu-anhu) said:

Make consideration of the (regions of the) earth by the names given to them and make consideration of a person by his companion.’’ [2/479][http://www.salafipublications.com/sp…articlePages=1]

 

Muhammad Bin Ubaid (rahimahullaah) said:

‘’The Ahlul Ahwaa (people of desires) hide everything except their intimate friendship and companionship.’’ [Al-Ibaanah: 2/482] [http://www.salafipublications.com/sp…articlePages=1]


 Abu Eesaa (Niqmatullaah) and Yaasir Qaadhi Signed the Pledge of Mutual Respect and Cooperation along with a group of extreme Soofees, Jahmee, Ash’aree, Dervish, Muqallid callers to innovation….

Reader: Ponder again upon the words of Shaikh Raslaan:

But when a person is amazed with himself and his opinion, and when splitting occurs in the Ummah in the big affairs of knowledge and every foolish one formulates his own independent judgement; there comes about an uncontrollable chaos and it then proceeds upon a path that has no halter, and then it becomes an affair of trial, corruption, confusion and deviation, and an affair in which truth is confounded with falsehood…

 

 

We ask Allaah for safety

Our Salaf: Al-Hasan

Al-Hasan Al-Basri (rahimahullaah) said: The soul of the son of Aadam does not exit this world, except with a loss in three (things): [1] It did not satisfy itself with what it gathered (of the worldly things); [2] It did not achieve what it hoped for; [3] It did not increase in perfecting what is sent forth (for it of good deeds in the hereafter).

Our Salaf–Yahyah Al-Qattaan and Yazeed Bin Haaroon

Abdullaah Bin Ahmad Bin Hanbal (rahimahullaah) said: I heard my father saying: ”Yahyah Al-Qattaan related to me (about such and such).  My eyes have never seen (someone) similar to him.” [Sifatus Safwa: 3/365]

 

Imaam Dhahabi (rahimahullaah) said: ”He (Yazeed) was a figurehead in knowledge, trustworthiness and a great proof.” [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 9/358]

 

Ibn Abee Haatim (rahimahullaah) said: I asked my father about Yazeed Bin Haaroon, so he said: ”Reliable, an Imaam and truthful in hadeeth.  The likes of him should not be asked about.” [Al-Jarh Wat-tadeel: 9/295]

 

Imaam Dhahabee (rahimahullaah) said: ”Indeed, Yazeed was a figurehead in the Sunnah, having enmity towards the Jahmiyyah and rejected their false interpretations regarding Allaah’s Istiwaa.’’ [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 9/362]


 

Our Salaf–Sufyaan Bin Uyaynah

Rabee (rahimahullaah) said: I heard Shaafiee (rahimahullaah) saying: Had it not been for Sufyaan and Maalik (Bin Anas), the knowledge of the hijaaz would have gone away. [Tahdheeb Al-Kamaal: 11/189]

 

Ibn Wahb (rahimahullaah) said: I do not know anyone more knowledgeable about tafseer than Sufyaan Ibn Uyaynah.  (Imaam) Ahmad (rahimahullaah) said: I do not know anyone more knowledgeable about the Sunan than him.  [Taareekh Al-Islaam: 13/193]

 

Ahmad Bin Abil Hawaaree (rahimahullaah) said: I said to Sufyaan, ‘’what is Zuhd in the worldly life?  He said: you are thankful when favoured and patient when put to trial.  That is zuhd. [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa:8/468]

 

Abee Mamar (rahimahullaah) said: Sufyaan Bin Uyaynah (rahimahullaah) said to us: The scholar is not the one who knows good and bad; rather the scholar is the one who knows good and follows it, and he knows evil and avoids it.’’ [Hilyatul Awliyaa: 7/274]


 

Our Salaf-Wakee Bin Jarraah

Saeed Mansoor (rahimahullaah) said: Wakee (rahimahullaah) came to Makkah and he used to be chubby.  So Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (rahimahullaah) said to him, ”what is this chubbiness and you are the Raahib of Basra (i.e. the one known for seclusion, devotion in worship, abstinence from the worldly life etc.).”  He Wakee said: ”this is from my joyfulness with Islaam (i.e. the happiness I feel in Islam).” [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 9/157]

Ahmad Bin Abee Hiwaaree (rahimahullaah) said: I heard Marwaan (rahimahullaah) saying: ”No one has been described to me except I saw that he was lesser than the description, except Wakee; for he was above what was described to me.” Hilyatul Awliyaa: 8/370]

Abdur Razzaaq (rahimahullaah) said: ”I have seen Sufyaan Ath-Thawree, Sufyaan Bin Uyaynah, Mamar, Maalik, and I have seen, and I have seen.  My two eyes have not seen (someone) like Wakee.” [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 9/146-147]
