📒Excerpt from page 32-33:

The Salaf-Us-Saalih, may Allah be pleased with them, due to the severity of their veneration of the Sunnah, and their despising of innovation and its people, would consider giving Salaam to the people of Innovations great sins which they feared that Allah would take them account for.

This is one of the Imams of the Salaf from the Taabi'is, and he is Suleymaan bin Tarkhaan At-Tiymi, may Allah have mercy upon him.

Sa'id bin 'Aamir said:

Suleymaan At-Tiymi fell ill and he cried severely, I said to him:

What made you cry? Is it due to dying?

He said:

No, I passed by a Qadari and I gave him Salaam, I fear that my Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, will take me to account for it.

End of speech.

So if you give Salām to the Rāfidhah (extreme Shīa) and innovators, and sinners amongst the Muslims, you've given full love and affection concerning the enemies of Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ, and on the authority of Qatādah on the authority of Al-Hasan:

"There is no sacredness between you and the open sinner."

And Al-Hasan said:

"Don't sit with a person of innovation, for verily they will cause your heart to become sick."

And An-Nakha'ī said:

"Don't sit with the people of innovation and don't speak with them, for verily I fear that your hearts will turn."

So look - may Allāh have mercy on you - at the speech of the Salaf us-Sālih, and their warning from sitting with the people of innovation, and lending an ear to them, and their severity in regards to that, and their preventing from giving Salām to them."

End of speech

Shaykh Rabī' (➡️ click here for more recent speech on him) said in criticism to Abīl-Hasan in his aforementioned speech after he relayed from al-Baghawī a consensus of Ahlus-Sunnah on having hatred for the people of innovation and distancing away from them:

"Even if some of those who have been destroyed by this, some of the Imāms who we love and revere said this, but everyone's speech is either accepted or rejected, especially if it is in opposition to those who Baghawī mentioned and other than them. Expecially when the people of falsehood have taken this Manhaj of Muwāznāt the likes of this speech as a stepping stone to war against the Manhaj of the Salaf and defending innovation and it's people."

End of speech

'Intiqād Aqadī wa Manhajī 'Ala As-Sirāj Al-Wahhāj'

And for extra: Look at what I wrote in refutation on this path in my book 'Misbāh udh-Dhalām Al-Wāqi' fī Kitāb Al-Ibānah liMuhammad Al-Imām' (First Chapter from the sixth subchapter)

And Allāh is the granter of success.

📝 Calling to loving the people of innovation underneath the guise of legislated Al-Walā'a (Love/Association) for the Muslim.


🍃 For the people of innovation with Firkous, no matter what level their innovation has reached ~ as long as it doesn't expel one from the religion ~ no matter how much they sin, distort and innovate, it is a must to show them love, even if they are Shīa, and Khawārij...as long as they are under the vast fold of Islām, the vast Manhaj encompasses them.

Firkous said in his Fatwa 'Dhawābitl-Hajr Ash-Shar'ī':

"The innovator is shown enmity and hated according to the level of his innovation, if his innovation doesn't expel him from the fold of the religion, he is shown love and association according to his level of Ēmān and Taqwā, and he is not allowed to be shown enmity from all angles like a Kāfir, rather he is loved from one angle and hated from another angle."

End of speech.

This is how Abul-Hasan Al-Misrī affirmed love for the people of innovation underneath the guise of Al-Walā'a (Love/Association) for the Muslim in 'As-Sirāj Al-Wahhāj' (p36 paragraph 76) whereby he said there:

"I believe that the Muslim is shown association and enmity and he is loved and hated, and he is to be connected with and boycotted according to what he has in him of good and bad, Sunnah and Bid'ah, likewise according to his eagerness for good and giving importance to it, and following his desires and his oppression to the people of truth with taking into consideration the benefits and harms."

End of speech

And here is Adnān Ar'ūr saying on a tape of his with the title 'Al-Ikhtilāf Anwā'ihi wa Ahkāmihi' (no.1 the first phase) affirming the likes of what Firkous affirmed:

"The Muslims remains a Muslim no matter how much wickedness he did, or innovated, and that nothing nullifies the brotherhood except Kufr, if only the fully awake youth of Islām young and old would comprehend this critical affair with importance, that a Muslim no matter if he was a sinner or wicked person he has the right of brotherhood upon you according to level if what the legislation designated, with the guidelines which the scholars have placed, and now is not the time for mentioning it, he is your brother despite what you think as long as he is in the fold of Islām...!"

End of speech.

I say:

"Look my brother - may Allāh grant you success - at this speech with an eye of justice and compare it with the speech of Firkous, you will become amazed at it's agreement in foundation and mannerism!!

This is way is far from the Manhaj of the Salaf us-Sālih of Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jamā'ah in their dealing with the people of innovation.

The legislation came preventing the means of getting close to the people of innovation and loving them and showing association to them, all of that from Al-Walā'a wal Barā'a which we have been ordered by it with the opposers to Allāh, each according to their proportion.

As from their Manhaj is abandoning giving Salām to the innovators, visiting their sick, and sitting with them...because that is from the means of love and drawing close, as the Hadith points towards;

(أَوَلاَ أَدُلُّكُم عَلَى شَيْءٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ تَحَابَبْتُم، أَفْشُوا السَّلاَمَ بَيْنَكُمْ)
"Shall I point you towards something if you do, it would make you love one another? Spread the Salām amongst yourselves."

Imām Ahmed said using this Hadith as proof that whoever gives salam to an innovator then he loves him!

Al-Allāmah Muhammad bin Al-Latīf An-Najdī may Allāh have mercy on him said: "Because spreading the salam is a means of gaining love, as comes in the Hadith;

(أَوَلاَ أَدُلُّكُم عَلَى شَيْءٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ تَحَابَبْتُم، أَفْشُوا السَّلاَمَ بَيْنَكُمْ)
"Shall I point you towards something if you do, it would make you love one another? Spread the Salām amongst yourselves."


And on the authority of Abu Hureirah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet ﷺ said:

(الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دِينِ خَلِيلِهِ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَحَدُكُمْ مَنْ يُخَالِلُ)
"A man is upon the religion of his close friend, so let one of you look at who he takes as a close friend".

[Ahmed, Abu Daud, Tirmidhi and others with a Hassan chain of narration]

Similarly the statement of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him:

"Don't sit with the people of Desires, for indeed their sittings bring about sickness".

[Reported by Ibn Battah in Al-Ibaanah 371]

The statement of Ibn Qillaabah Al-Jarami:

"Don't sit with the people of Desires, I fear that they will submerge you in innovation or deceive you in regards to your religion".

[reported by Daarimi in the introduction of his Sunan nr.405 with an authentic chain of narration]

Imam Ibn Battah, may Allah have mercy upon him, spoke the truth when he said:

"...I pondered over the reason which exited people from the Sunnah and the Jamaa'ah, and forced them to Innovation and Shanaa'ah (hideousness), and open up the door of calamities to their hearts, and have the light of the truth be veiled from their insight, I found this from two angles:

...

The other:

Sitting with those that you are not safe from their fitnah and corrupts the hearts when accompanying them.

[Al-Ibaanah 390/1]

Shaykh Muhammad bin Hadi Al-Madkhali (➡️ click here for more recent information on him) refuted this wrongful path, he said:

Now we are hearing that...boycotting if it got a benefit then yes if there's not then no!!!

Meaning it's like that we want the person that we boycotted!

As for protecting our children, and the children of the (people of the) Sunnah and the Salafi way, and to deter them from mixing with the Innovator, so that they don't become misguided due to him, this is another affair which is not being turned towards!!

This either comes about through ignorance, or Desires, or both.

O Brothers beware of this, beware of those that say this statement, read the books of the Imams of the Sunnah, all praise is to Allah, they are infront of us with their chains of narrations, present...bring us a single letter from within it which points to the contrary to what I have mentioned, so that we may follow you upon what you are saying of this statement which is falsehood and wrongful!!!

[Lecture entitled "Boycotting the people of Innovation and Desires, and warning from them, is from the Sunnah and the Methodology]

I say:

The boycotting out of preservation, by fleeing from the people of Innovation and their doubts which snatch people, is obligatory:

By the ruling from the Book and Sunnah and the Methodology of the Salaf-Us-Saalih

It's then not required to redirect it away to other than these great foundations!

Imam Ahmed, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

It's a must to boycot those who disbelieved or became a faasiq through innovation, or calls to a misguiding innovation or one which renders one a faasiq.

Upon those that are unable to rebuke them or fear them or fear being deceived by them and being harmed.

[Al-Adaab Ash-Shar'iyyah 267/1]

This will become clearer in what's to come.

And He, the Majestic and Lofty, said:

(وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ ٱلظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى ٱتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ ٱلرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًا ۝ يَٰوَيْلَتَىٰ لَيْتَنِى لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًا ۝ لَّقَدْ أَضَلَّنِى عَنِ ٱلذِّكْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَآءَنِىۗ وَكَانَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ خَذُولًا)
"And (remember) the Day when the Zalim (wrong-doer, oppressor, polytheist, etc.) will bite at his hands, he will say: "Oh! Would that I had taken a path with the Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ). Ah! Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as a friend! "He indeed led me astray from the Reminder (this Quran) after it had come to me. And Shaytaan is ever a deserter to man in the hour of need."
[Al-Furqaan:27-29]

And He said:

(فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝ قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ ۝ يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ ۝ أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ ۝ قَالَ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّطَّلِعُونَ ۝ فَٱطَّلَعَ فَرَءَاهُ فِى سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝ قَالَ تَٱللَّهِ إِن كِدتَّ لَتُرْدِينِ ۝ وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ ۝ أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ ۝ إِلَّا مَوْتَتَنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ۝ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ۝ لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ)
"Then they will turn to one another, mutually questioning. A speaker of them will say: "Verily, I had a companion (in the world), who used to say: "Are you among those who believe (in resurrection after death). (That) when we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed (be raised up) to receive reward or punishment (according to our deeds)?, (The man) said: "Will you look down?" So he looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire. He said: "By Allah! You have nearly ruined me. "Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought forth (to Hell)." (Allah informs about that true believer that he said): "Are we then not to die (any more)? "Except our first death, and we shall not be punished? (after we have entered Paradise)." Truly, this is the supreme success! For the like of this let the workers work."
[As-Saaffaat:50-61]

And He, the Majestic and Lofty, said:

(وَٱصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَدَوٰةِ وَٱلْعَشِىِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُۥۖ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَاۖ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُۥ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُۥ فُرُطًا)
"And keep yourself (O Muhammad ﷺ) patiently with those who call on their Lord (i.e. your companions who remember their Lord with glorification, praising in prayers, etc., and other righteous deeds, etc.) morning and afternoon, seeking His Face, and let not your eyes overlook them, desiring the pomp and glitter of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our Remembrance, one who follows his own lusts and whose affair (deeds) has been lost."
[Al-Kahf:28]

And the evidences from the Quran are many.

And from the Sunnah is the Hadith of Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet ﷺ said:

(مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ وَالْجَلِيسِ السَّوْءِ، كَحَامِلِ الْمِسْكِ وَنَافِخِ الْكِيرِ ؛ فَحَامِلُ الْمِسْكِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْذِيَكَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَبْتَاعَ مِنْهُ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً، وَنَافِخُ الْكِيرِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْرِقَ ثِيَابَكَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ رِيحًا خَبِيثَةً)
"The likeliness of a good companion and a bad companion is that of someone selling Musk and a blacksmith, the one selling Musk he either gives it to you, or he sells it to you, or you either find a pleasang smell from him. And the blacksmith he either burns your clothes or you find a putrid smell from him."

Agreed upon.

📝 On restricting boycotting to the benefit of the person being boycotted and not taking the other benefits into consideration.


🍃The second observation:

Firkous specifies the legislative aims of boycotting to it detering the person being boycotted, and he excludes the benefit of the Ummah in staying away from the deceptions of the people of desires:

Whereby he said:

"The place which Innovation is rampant in, and the strength and power belongs to the people of Innovation, and the Innovator isn't deterred by the boycotting, and the legislative aim of boycotting is not obtained, rather the increasing of evil is feared and the strengthening of it, then boycotting is not legislated at this point due to overriding harm to the benefit of the boycotting, then bringing them close is more beneficial and more appropriate in the aims and goals of the legislation."

He also said:

"When it becomes established that the legislative aim of the boycotting falls under "Walaa and Baraa" (association and disassociation), and that the punishment is put into effect to rebuke the Innovator, and to discipline him, and to set his deviation from the correct path straight, and to confine his innovation and misguidance, so that it doesn't affect the Muslim community negatively, and threatens its integrity due to the deseminating and spreading of his innovation."

End of speech of what's intended.

I say:

These statements from Firkous clarify that he restricts the boycotting in the first category which returns back to the benefit in what relates to the one boycotted being detered from their innovation or their fisq.

And he excludes the second category which - is more important - returns back to the benefit of the one boycotting being protected from the people of Innovation and their trials, and their doubts which cause sickness!

What's more important with Firkous is the one being boycotted returns back from their innovation and their fitnah, and there's no consideration of the benefit of the one boycotting, with him!

Rather the benefit of the Ummah in being far from the people of falsehood and preserving the religion of the people.

If the one boycotted isn't dettered then the benefit is in being distant from the mixing with them! Let alone bringing them close with them!

The Salafi would become an easy prey for the people of Desires, and Hizbiyyah, in what is results in the mixing with them, making one sick and trialled and be alligned with the people of Innovation and Hizbiyyah!

With this, this establishment by him, would be a war upon the Salafis and an assistance to the people of Innovation and Hizbiyyah!

Abstaining from the boycotting the people of Innovation and mixing with them with the intent being bringing them closer, is a benefit which is an illusion, which is met with a great harm, as it's of the greatest means of deviation and falling off, either straight away or later on, as mixing with them brings this about even after a while.

Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said:

(يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ بِطَانَةً مِّن دُونِكُمْ لَا يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالًا وَدُّوا۟ مَا عَنِتُّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ ٱلْبَغْضَآءُ مِنْ أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِى صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُۚ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ)
"O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends, etc.) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand."
[Aal-I-'Imraan:118]


The answer is:

It's an obligation that the conditions are implemented by every person of innovation, there is no doubt that the Hizbiyyoon, the people of innovation, are of various types and sorts, as from them are the Khawaarij, from them are the Suufiyyah, from them are the ignorant folk who are blind following these and those, it's an obligation upon all to repent to Allah fulfilling all the conditions, each in accordance to their situation.

ومن يشأ خير الحياة والرضــا فليتبع حقا سبيل من مضى
في سنــة قــائـــــمة نقيــــة وشرعـــة واضحة جليــة
سار عليها المصطفى ومن على منهجــه عض فنعـم النبلا
صـــلى عليـــه ربنا وسـلــما والآل والصحب وتابع سما.

Whoever wants the best of life and happiness
Then let them truly follow the path of those that preceded
In the pristine raised Sunnah
A clear manifest legislation
Which the Mustafa (the chosen one) tread upon and those that hold on tight to his methodology the best of the noble ones.
May the lofty Salaat of our Lord be upon him and Salaam
And upon his household and his companions and those that follow him.

شروط توبة المخالفين لمنهج السلف من أصحاب التقريرات البدعية وغيرهم

The conditions regarding the repentance of the opposers to the methodology of Salaf by those who established innovative principles, and other than them.



This is a valuable sound Fatwa in this subject matter, by the Shaykh, the Scholar, Zaid bin Hadi Al-Madkhali, may Allah have mercy upon him, he mentioned in it the conditions of the repentance of the opposer to the methodology of the Salaf, this includes innovators and those beneath them, this is the question and answer:

Question Nr. 37:

What are the conditions of advising the opposer to the Methodology of the Salaf?

And does advise have to be for a certain specified period of time?

Answer:

The conditions of the repentance of the Innovator are the conditions well known through careful investigation and extrapolation, for the acceptance of the repentance of every sinner:

The first:
Quitting the sin.

The second:
Regretting what took place.

The third:
Determination to not return to it.

And for the Innovator the following are added to the three conditions:

1- Publicised freeing of oneself outwardly and inwardly, especially in the areas which he used to emit his innovations in, and upon the ears of those that that he called to take it on board and to be fanatical to it, and for them to spread it until the innovation becomes like the noble Prophetic Sunnah, making one eager to call towards it and to act upon it, of those that have had their hearts filled with it, and had their limbs act it out.

And those that Allah leaves him to be misguided, you will not find him a helper to guide him.

2- That he refutes himself, if he was to have authored calling to it in the authoring, and casting blame on those that critique it.

Or for him to critique those that call to it and spread it.

So the refutation is to be:

▪️Direct.

▪️Clear, everyone that reads it or hears it understands it, this is for freeing oneself from blame and in aid the Sunnah and love of its people.

▪️To continue doing this until meeting Allah.

3- To burn and lay waste to what he has infront of him of affairs which contains the innovations, so that nothing remains trialling whoever it may trial, either while the one who introduced it is still alive or after their death.

Lastly know, O Questioner:

That the Innovator is an immense evil upon himself, and upon his community, and his nation, he is to be advised, if he rejects the advise of the advisers it's an obligation for him to be boycotted, and to flee from sitting with him and accompanying him.

Listen to the statement of those that carefully analysed the conditions of the people of Innovation, and came to the knowledge of the heinousness of Innovation and its harms, and the harms of its perpetrator to individuals and communities alike where ever it may be.

He said, and how splendid it is:

وكل بر في اتباع مـــــن سلف وكل شر في ابتداع من خلف
فكن من الأتباع في درب الهدى تظفر بخير ثم تنجو من ردى
والسنــة الغرا طـــريق المهتدي فلا تزغ عنها فتهلك في غـــد
ودر مـع الحـــق بعلـم وتقـــى لتحرز الأجر وحسـن المرتقى

All good is in following those that preceded
And every evil is in the innovating of those that followed.
Be from the followers to the path of guidance.
You will obtain good and then be saved from demise.
The Sunnah is the path of the rightly guided.
So don't deviate from it whereby you will be ruined by the morning.
Abide to the truth with knowledge and Taqwa
So that you may obtain reward and a good elevation.



And if you, O Questioner, said:

Does this apply to the Hizbiyoon in this era?


▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️


The establishment of the owner if this fatwa - may Allah correct him - also includes many harms, to many to mention in entirety here, but from it is:

▪️That it necessitates that the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ both directed towards differing, which Allah casted blame upon in His Book and upon the tongue of His Messenger ﷺ.

As many legislative texts from the Book and the Sunnah encourage following the Salaf, and made following their path a condition for guidance, and that those who oppose their path are threatened with being forsaken and a painful punishment.

The legislative texts have tied the obtainment of unity and agreement to the following of their way and their path, as it comes in the Hadith of Iftiraaq (splitting) and other than it, so how will this directing be to a people who many of them have oppositions to the Creed and manifest foundations of the Sunnah?!

▪️And what this conceals of preparation of defending the Hizbis, and the people of Desires and Innovation, those with opposition to the methodology of the Salaf, and their Creed and their foundations.

What the owner of this fatwa - may Allah correct him - wrote is considered protection for them from the rulings of Ahlus-sunnah, and the implementation of what the Prophetic Salafi legislation necessitates upon them, in what they deserve of declaration of innovation and other than this.

▪️In it is a call - by the owner of this fatwa - to opening the door of differing wide open, and making it a proof for the people of Innovation and Desires to place in the faces of the advisors from amongst Ahlus-sunnah, as the Salaf differed in some foundations of Creed, to say:

Why are you rebuking for differing in this subject matter?!

Why are you rebuking us for defending and commending those who opposed in this subject matter?!

Why are you declaring us innovators and exiting us from the Sunnah?


▪️It includes a call - by the owner of this fatwa - to the all-inclusive spacious methodology, by revisiting many of the rulings of the Imams, past and present, of declaration upon many people being innovators due to their opposition in affairs of Creed and the manifest foundations of the Sunnah, after being heads of the Sunnah at one point.

Thus opening the door for them, starting a fresh, to enter into the realm of Ahlus-sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah!?

▪️Watering down the angle of Walaa (association) and Baraa (disassociation) regarding the foundations of the Creed of Ahlus-sunnah, and the owner of this fatwa has clearly mentioned as previously preceded that:

"The mistake or missteps in Creed or in the foundations of Ahlus-sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah generally, is buried in the good and it doesn't affect it..."

This speech of his is general: it includes clear-cut affairs.

As it falls under what's called:

Foundations of the Sunnah and Creed

So opposition with the owner of this fatwa is considered simple, and it's ruled upon to be buried, which basically means it being negated and not being taken in to consideration next to the good of the Imams.

This is enough of a waterig down of the Walaa and Baraa in what relates to the foundations of Ahlus-sunnah, if differing in clear-cut affairs and foundations of the religion is entered into what relates being excused and pardoned, then threshold has been reached, and Walaa and Baraa in greatest of chapters in the religion will have been dropped.

And speech upon what this dangerous establishments entails is much..

And in what we have written is sufficiency in the rendering of this innovative establishment, which is in the aforementioned fatwa, false.

And all praise is to Allah Lord of all that exists.


سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك لا إله إلا أنت أستغفرك وأتوب إليك.

He also said:

Similarly Fiqh (jurisprudence) the differing only took place in it when the clarification of the legislator was obscured to them, but the differing of this only took place in what's intricate as for what's clear-cut then they wouldn't differ in it.

The Companions themselves differed in some of this, but they didn't differ in Creed, nor in the path towards Allah which men from the Awliyaa of Allah, the righteous, those that are drawn close tread upon.

End of speech.

He, may Allah have mercy upon him, also said:

The Creed of Shaafi'i and the Creed of the Salaf of Islam, like:

Maalik, Thawri, Awzaa'i, Ibn Mubaarak, Ahmed bin Hanbal, Ishaaq bin Rahaaway

Is the Creed of the Mashaayikh who are taken as a lead, like:

Al-Fudayl bin 'Iyaadh, Abu Suleymaan Ad-Daaraani, Sahl bin 'Abdullah At-Tustari, and others.

For indeed there isn't any differing between those Imams and their likes, of differing in the foundations of the religion.

Similarly Abu Hanifa, may Allah have mercy upon him, the Creed established from him in Tawhid, Al-Qadr and the likes, is in agreement with the Creed of those (aforementioned), and their Creed was what the Companions, and those that followed them in goodness, were upon, and it's what has come in the Book and the Sunnah.

End of speech from Majmuu' Al-Fatawa (256/5) and look in Majmuu' Al-Fataawa (65-64/13).


▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️

Similarly that this clear-cut mention of the owner of this fatwa, may Allah correct him, of the presence of many Imams who opposed in foundations from the foundations of the Creed of Ahlus-sunnah, includes a number of innovated foundations - their mention will come bi-idh-nillah - we will mention some of it here:

1- Being obliged to accept differing in the foundation of the Creed of Ahlus-sunnah and the Methodology of the Salaf and that this is possible, using as an evidence that we suffice ourselves with what the Salaf and the Imams sufficed with, those who many of them opposed - per claim of the owner of this fatwa - in the foundations of the foundations of the Creed of Ahlus-sunnah, and that with this the Salaf and the Imams didn't declare them innovators.

This is what the callers to Muwazinaat accuse of and proclaim, as the fruits of their establishments.

And this is - with much regret - what the owner of this fatwa wishes to implement as previously clarified.

And Allah is the guide to the correct path.

2- Establishing a danger innovative foundation, which is destructive to the methodology of the Salaf, it being:

The attribution of the presence of differing between the Imams of the Sunnah in Creed and the foundations of the Sunnah, by many of them opposing in this.

This is while the Imams of Islam fought this innovative establishment and dismantled it and proclaimed war against it.

At the head of the Imams of Islam:

The Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, Shaykh-Ul-Islam clarified in Minhaaj Us-Sunnah (336/6) and as found in Majmuu' Al-Fataawa (71/5) that they didn't differ at all on a principle from the principles of Islām, nor a foundation from the foundations of the Creed, nor in Attributes, nor in Emaan, nor in Qadr, nor in the subject of leadership, nor in the affairs relating names and rulings, nor in other than this, this is what is unanimously agreed upon by the Righteous Predecessors from the Companions and those that came after them, only rare differing occured in some subsidiary affairs and intricate sub-branches.

End of speech.

Similarly those that came after them from the Salaf and the Imams of the Sunnah and guidance:

This is Shaykh-Ul-Islam, may Allah have mercy upon him, who has an extensive reach in acquaintance of the establishments of the Imams of Ahlus-sunnah, those who are taken into consideration, and their books and their biographies, he negates the presence of those amongst them who opposed in the foundations of the Sunnah of the Creed, he said:

For indeed the Imams of Sunnah and Hadith didn't differ in anything of the foundations of their religion

End of speech from Dar'ut-Ta'aarud Al-'Aql wan-Naql (363/5).


▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️


What assist the rendering false of the claim of the presence of many of the Imams of the Sunnah differing in Creed and the foundations of the Sunnah is that whatever is claimed to have occured in this, didn't bring about any disputation at all between them, not in speech nor in action, as differing in Creed and the foundations of the Sunnah brings about animosity and hostility and disunity.

Shaykh-Ul-Islam, may Allah have mercy upon him, in Minhaaj Us-Sunnah (336/6) said:

What's intended is that the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, never fought due to differing on a principle from the principles of Islām, at all, and they haven't differed in any Islamic principle, nor about the attributes, nor about the predecree, nor in the affairs of names and titles and rulings, nor about the subject of leadership, they haven't differed in this through disputing with speech, let alone by fighting with swords, rather they would affirm the attributes of Allaah which He informed us about Himself, and negate its resemblance with that of the creation.

End of speech.

How would opposition occur from the Salaf and the Imams of the Sunnah after them, when the reasons which bring it about are not found with them, of using desires or intellect or personal preference or opinion or other than this as a returning point which would bring about differing and contradiction, as the Most High said:

(أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَۚ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ غَيْرِ ٱللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا۟ فِيهِ ٱخْتِلَٰفًا كَثِيرًا)
"Do they not then consider the Quran carefully? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much contradictions."
[An-Nisaa':82]

The decisive ruling with them was in the returning back to the Book and the Sunnah, and 'when the river of Allaah comes the river of Ma'qil is of no use'. [Proverb]

Due to the source of their taking and their judgement being the same, and their establishment of this is in everything small and big, and they were the most rightly guided of the creation in this ummah after its Prophet ﷺ, and his Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, those that Allaah stipulated upon those that came after them, to take them as a lead and to tread upon their path and understanding, so that they can be upon guidance and far away from the causes of splitting and differing.

The Most High said:

(فَإِنْ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِمِثْلِ مَآ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦ فَقَدِ ٱهْتَدَوا۟ۖ وَّإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنَّمَا هُمْ فِى شِقَاقٍۖ فَسَيَكْفِيكَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ)
"So if they believe in the like of that which you believe, then they are rightly guided, but if they turn away, then they are only in opposition. So Allah will suffice you against them. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower."
[Al-Baqarah:137]


▪️And from this angle is what the callers of Muwazinaat, those that establish the same thing which our brother, the owner of this fatwa is establishing in his principle:

What has come from some of the Imams of the Salaf of rebuking one and other regarding some of the recitations of the Qur'aan.

And similarly what has come from Al-Qaadhi Shurayh, may Allah have mercy upon him, and he is an Imam of the Imams, where he rebukes the Attribute of (Amazement) which has come in a recitation which is authentic mutawaatir, Shaykh-Ul-Islam may Allah have mercy upon him clarified that it being mutawaatir wasn't established with those that rebuked it, he said:

"Al-Qaadhi Shurayh rebuked the recitation of those that recited

(بَلْ عَجِبْتُ)
"Nay, I was Amazed"

And they said Allah doesn't become amazed, this reached Ibrahim An-Nakha'i, and he said:

Shurayh is only a poet, who fancies his knowledge, 'Abdullah was more knowledgeable than him, and he would say:

(بَلْ عَجِبْتُ)
"Nay, I was Amazed"

He has rejected an established recitation, and he rebuked an Attribution which the Book and the Sunnah point towards, and the Ummah unanimously agreed upon that he is an Imam from the Imams, and similarly some of the Salaf rebuked some of the recitations of the Qur'aan ... and this is a mistake which is known by unanimous agreement and mutawaatir relayment.

With this as it wasn't mutawaatir with them they didn't disbelieve, even though the one who the binding evidence that it was mutawaatir was established upon him, would disbelieve, and also the Book and the Sunnah point towards that Allaah does not punish anyone except after the message has been relayed to them, so those that didn't have nothing reach them are not punished at all, and those that have had it reach them but not the intracies, they're not punished except for rejecting what has become established with them of the binding evidence of the message.

And this is the like the statement of the Most High:

(رُّسُلًا مُّبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ حُجَّةٌۢ بَعْدَ ٱلرُّسُلِۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا)
"Messengers as bearers of good news as well as of warning in order that mankind should have no plea against Allah after the Messengers. And Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise."
[An-Nisaa':165]

Majmuu' Al-Fataawa (13/493).

This is exactly what has been previously established, and Shaykh-Ul-Islam spoke the truth:

(This is a great foundation so ponder over it for verily it is beneficial)

And from what's affirmed with certainty and is unanimously agreed upon is that the Salaf were upon one thing in the subject matter of Names and Attributes, and there isn't any differing and opposition betweent them in this, all of them leave the legislative texts upon their apparent, and they believe in what it includes of meanings without delving into the how, nor drawing complete comparisons, nor distorting nor negating.

Whoever claims other than this is a liar, fabricator, declared as such by the people of knowledge, and I have relayed their speech in the establishment of this in my book "Bayaan...".


For this reason, from the beneficial foundations which Shaykh-Ul-Islam, Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy upon him, established is:

"If you see a wrongful statement which has come from an early Imam, then they are overlooked and pardoned, due to the proofs not having reached them, and the one who the proof has reached is not pardoned like the first one is pardoned, and for this reason the one whom the Hadiths of the punishment of the grave and their likes has reached, is declared an innovator if they reject them, and 'Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, and the likes of her of those who did not know that the dead could hear in their graves are not declared innovators.

This is a great foundation so ponder over it for verily it is beneficial."

As found in Majmuu'l Fataawa (6/61)

For this reason 'Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, was not considered an opposer for this, nor was this considered to be a place of differing, but this ruling is not for those that opposed after this subject matter and its proofs became well known, and this is why Shaykh-Ul-Islam declared those who have had the binding evidence reach them to be innovators, because those that preceded them of the companions didn't have the proofs reach them, so the lack of it reaching them isn't an evidence for those that came after them.

So those that came after are not overlooked for and pardoned as they were overlooked for and pardoned.

Because the establishment of the evidence with them.


▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️


If we were to look at what the callers of Muwazinaat and Tamyee' used as a proof - those whose principles the owner of this fatwa fell into - to establish that many Imams, as they claim, fell into opposition of clear-cut foundations of Creed and the Sunnah.

The people of knowledge have already clarified that there is nothing for them to cling on in this subject matter, due to affairs, from it is:

1- Either that the angle of opposition is not established.

This becomes clear at contemplation, in that there is (infact) no opposition which took place, this is the situation regarding the majority of what's narrated in this regard, as clarified by Shaykh-Ul-Islam, may Allah have mercy upon him, dismantling of what's used as an evidence by the callers of Muwazinaat to establish that differing took place between the Salaf in some subject matters of Creed.

Where they use as an example, in what they claim, that some of the companions fell into opposition by their affirmation that the Prophet ﷺ saw his Lord.

He, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

"Similarly the differing of the companions regarding the Prophet ﷺ seeing his Lord on the night of the ascention, in reality there is no differing, those that affirmed; affirmed the seeing by way of the heart, and those that negated; negated the seeing by way of the eyes, so the two statements are in agreement."

End of speech from Manhaaj As-Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah (328/6).

2- Due to lack of having the proof reach them, or due to the proofs for it not being established with the opposer, who's from the Salafi Imams.

This is not what's counted when establishing opposition to the Creed and the foundations of the Sunnah by one of them or between them.

Allah, the Most High, said:

(رُّسُلًا مُّبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ حُجَّةٌۢ بَعْدَ ٱلرُّسُل)
"Messengers as bearers of good news as well as of warning in order that mankind should have no plea against Allah after the Messengers. And Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise."
[An-Nisaa:165]

(وَمَن يُشَاقِقِ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِۦ مَا تَوَلَّىٰ وَنُصْلِهِۦ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ وَسَآءَتْ مَصِيرًا)
"And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) after the right path has been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers' way. We shall keep him in the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell - what an evil destination."
[An-Nisaa:115]

And other than this of proofs.

Shaykh-Ul-Islam, Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy upon him, clarified that "many of those that can perform Ijtihaad from the Salaf and the Khalaf, said or did, what's an innovation and they didn't know it was an innovation.

Either due to Hadith which were inauthentic which they thought was authentic, or due to verses they understood from it what wasn't intended by it, or due to viewpoint they had in subject matters which the legislative texts didn't reach them.

If a man had taqwah of his Lord, to the utmost of his capability then he would enter into the statement of the Most High:

(رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَآ إِن نَّسِينَآ أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَاۚ)
"Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error."
[Al-Baqarah:286]


And in the Hadith, that Allah said:
(قَدْ فَعَلْتُ)
I already did so (I.e not hold you to account)"

..."

As found in "Ma'aarij Al-Wusuul (p43).

It has become clear to everyone with sight:

That the type of opposition which is correct to be attributed to "many of the Imams"(5) and that its area is the obscured subject matters - Creed based or action (worship) based -.

As for opposition in the clear-cut manifest foundations of the Creed of Ahlussunnah - I.e: in that which the proofs thereof have become manifest and well known - then the attribution of this to the Salaf and the Imams Al-Mu'tabareen (those who are taken into consideration) is not correct at all.



__________
(5) As it came in the usage of the owner of the fatwa - may Allah correct him -.


If some people of knowledge delved into innovation due to the praise of some Imams on some innovators, those whose condition didn't become clear to them, and they had good thoughts of them due to having some good with them and defense of the religion.

Then what about those that set up the likes of these dangerous principles, and beautify it in the name of justice and fairness and advise to the Muslims!!

Arguing on behalf of the people of falsehood - knowingly or unknowningly - by the likes of these inconsiderate weighing scales?!

The harm of this, without a doubt, is greater!

Al-Haafidh, Adh-Dhahabi, in "Siyar Al-A'laam An-Nubalaa" (558/17):

"Abul Waleed Al-Baaji said in the book "Ikhtisaar firaq Al-Fuqahaa" which he authored, he mentioned regarding Al-Qaadhi Ibnl Baaqilaani:

"I was informed by Shaykh Abu Dharr, and he used to lean towards his Madhab, I asked him:

Where did you get this from?

He said:

I was walking in Baghdaad with Al-Haafidh Daraqutni, and we met Abu Bakar Bin At-Tayyibi, and Shaykh Abul Hassan remained with him, and kissed him on his face and eyes, and when we seperated from him, I asked him:

Who was this that you did this to, while I think you would do this, being that you are the Imam of your era?

He said:

This is the Imam of the Muslims, the defender of the religion, this is Al-Qaadhi Abu Bakar Muhammad bin At-Tayyibi.

Abu Dharr said:

From that point I often visited him with my father, and every place he entered in the lands of Kharasaan and other than it, nobody is turned towards from Ahlussunnah except that they were upon his Madhab and his way."

End of speech.

I said:

Due to this praise Abu Dharr Al-Harawi entered into Ash-'ariyyah, and nations of people, who were in a state of safety from it, entered into it!!

Adh-Dhahabi, "Siyar Al-A'laam An-Nubalaa" (557/17) said:

He took the rhetoric and beliefs of Abul Hassan [meaning Ash-'ari] from Al-Qaadhi Abu Bakar bin At-Tayyibi, and he spread that in Makkah, the Morrocans took it over to Morroco and Andalus, before this the scholars of Morroco didn't involve themselves into Rhetoric, rather they paid attention to Fiqh or Hadith or Arabic (language), they wouldn't delve into into intellectual (based Rhetoric), and this was what Al-Aseeli was upon and Abul Waleed bin Al-Faradhi, and Abu 'Umar At-Talamanki, and Maki Al-Qaysi, and Abu 'Umar Ad-Daani, and Abu 'Umar bin 'AbdilBar, and scholars".

End of speech.

▪️This dangerous path which is calling to not taking mistakes, which occur in Creed and the clear foundations of the Sunnah, into consideration.

And that the basis in making rulings is the good method of life and good traits... and the Methodology of Hamal Al-Mujmal 'Alal Mufassal, and Correcting and not Ruining...!!

Is taking those that say this to resembling those that say that sins don't harm at the presence of Emaan, by saying that nothing harms at the presence of knowledge and Salafiyyah!


And from them are those that are not excused, treading upon the basis in this, as preceded many Imams of the Sunnah were upon this, and at the head of them Imam Ahlussunnah Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal, as the clarification of this preceded, and the Salafi narrations from the Imams are many, in declaring innovation upon those that are attributed to knowledge and Sunnah who are described as Imams, as innovators.

And Allah is the guide to the right path.(4)


So do we not pay consideration to the narrations of the Salaf-us-Saalih?!

Don't you know that Allah, the Most High, said:

(وَمَن يُشَاقِقِ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِۦ مَا تَوَلَّىٰ وَنُصْلِهِۦ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ وَسَآءَتْ مَصِيرًا)
"And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) after the right path has been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers' way. We shall keep him in the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell - what an evil destination."
[An-Nisaa:115]

So are they people of oppression and transgression, who are not just and have no fairness in what relates to people of mistakes and missteps?! Because they didn't prevail the angle of their good?!


▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️



________
(4) Look in my book: "Misbaah Adh-Dhulaam" at [Sub-chapter: establishing the Methodology of Al-Muwazinaat and Hamal Al-Mujmal 'Alal-Mufasal]


▪️And from that which has come from Imam Ahmed, may Allah have mercy upon him, which nullifies this inconsiderate weighing scale which the owner of the fatwa - may Allah pardon him - is calling to, is:

What has been mentioned by Ibn Abu Ja'laa in "Tabaqaat Al-Hanaabilah" (233/1):

'Ali bin Abu Khalid said:

I said to Ahmed: this Shaykh - to a Shaykh which was present with us - is my neighbour, I warned him from a man and he wishes to hear from you about him, Al-Haarith Al-Qaseer - meaning Al-Haarith Al-Muhaasibi - you saw him with me for many years, and you told me:

Don't sit with him nor talk to him.

So I haven't spoken to him until today, and this Shaykh is sitting with him, so what do you say regarding him?

I saw Ahmed becoming red, and his veins and eyes growing, I have never ever seen him like this, then he dusted himself of and said:

This one Allah has trialled him, and his action isn't known except by those that test him and know him, oh oh oh, that one isn't known except by someone who tested him and knows him, that one Al-Maghazali used to sit with him, and Ya'qoob, and so-and-so, and he took them to the beliefs of Jahm, they were ruined due to him!

Then the Shaykh said to him:

O Aba 'Abdillah he narrates Hadith in a serene manner with khushuu'

To which Abu 'Abdillah became angry and said:

Don't let his kushuu' and gentleness deceive you.

And he said:

Nor be deceived by the lowering of his head, because he's an evil person, none know him besides those that have tested him, don't speak to him and no honour is to him, is it that you sit with every person who recites Hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ whilst being an Innovator?!

No, and no honour is to him, nor any relaxation of the eyes, and then he started saying:

That one, that one"

End of speech.

This is like a textual evidence from Imam Ahmed, may Allah have mercy upon him, dismantling this inconsiderate weighing scale!

As this Shaykh didn't reject the mistakes of Muhaasibi which was mentioned by Imam Ahmed, but he wanted to prevail the angle of him being an Imam, and War', and good mode of life, and virtues of Muhaasibi, to make it the basis at making the ruling upon him, without taking the mistakes and missteps into consideration!

This was then all completely nullified by this expert Imam, and he clarified the invalidity of this dangerous Tamyee'i establishment!

And there are many other examples to this which will lengthen this article with the mention of it all.

The Imams of Ahlussunnah excuse one and other, the Imams that can make Ijtihaad, in some of the affairs which they fall in, not based upon the establishment which was mentioned by the owner of this fatwa and him making it a principle, but due to indicators which came to light with them, which warded away the angle of descending the ruling upon them regarding what occured from them and what it necessitates, while clarifying the falsehood that they fell into, out of preservation of the Religion and the Creed of the Muslims.


▪️This is Al-Haarith bin Asad Al-Muhaasibi, he was a person of Asceticism, and War', and bringing himself to account, Al-Khateeb said:

"He has many books regarding Asceticism, and in the foundations of Creed, and refutations upon the Mu'tazilah and the Raafidah."

Adh-Dhahabi said:

"Al-Muhaasibi was of big status, a little bit of Philosophical speech crept up on him and he was resented for it"

From "As-Siyyar" (12/110-112).

I said:

While he was of a great status when spoke with "Al-Lafdh" and other than this, Ahlul Hadith dropped him and they didn't take into consideration of him being an Imam and they didn't prevail his mode of life and his virtues, and they didn't make this the basis when making a ruling upon him, without looking at the slip ups and mistakes!

Sa'eed bin 'Amr Al-Bardha'i said:

"I saw Abu Zur'ah Ar-Raazi and he was asked regarding Al-Muhaasibi and his books, and he said:

Beware of these books, these books are books of Innovation and Misguidances, upon you is the Narrations you will find sufficiency.

Has it reached you that Maalik or Thawri or Awzaa'i wrote regarding thoughts and Wiswaas?

How great is the haste of the people towards Innovation!
"

And Ibnl Arabi said:

Al-Haarith taught him, and he wrote down Hadith, and he knew the Madhabs of the Ascetics, and he was of a high status in knowledge, except that he spoke regarding "Al-Lafdh" and regarding the subject matter of Emaan".

"As-Siyar" (12/112).


▪️ This is Hishaam bin 'Ammaar bin Nusayr As-Sulami, Al-Haafidh Ad-Dhahabi said regarding him in his biography in "Siyar A'laam An-Nubalaa" (11/420-430):

"The Imaam, the Haafidh, the 'Allaamah, the proficient recitor, the scholar of the people of Shaam, Abul Waleed As-Sulami, he is also called Adh-Dhafari, the Khateeb of Damascus....Hishaam is great of status, has much knowledge, other than him are more precise and more just/balanced, may Allah have mercy upon him...Hishaam was an eloquent Khateeb a person of improvisation, 'Abdaan Al-Jawaaliqi narrated from him that he said:

"I haven't prepared a Khutbah for the past twenty years"

Then 'Abdaan said:

"There was none like him on the Dunya".

Abu Zur'ah Ar-Raazi said:

"Whoever missed Hishaam bin 'Ammaar has to descend ten thousand Hadiths".

End of speech.

I said:

While there were these virtues and good, Imam Ahmed would describe him with being slightly reckless, and declared him to be a Jahmi, due to what has taken place from him of general speech which contains an angle to a meaning which is a dangerous falsehood, and it wasn't said that he's from the Imams and his mode of life was a good one and that he has virtues, and that this is the basis when making a ruling, and that there's no consideration given to mistakes and missteps?!

Al-Haafidh Adh-Dhahabi said in "Al-Miyzaan" (303/4):

"AL-Marwazi said:

A book came from Damascus: ask Abu Abdillah for us, because Hishaam bin 'Ammaar, said:

The uttering of the Qur'aan by Jibreel and Muhammad, may the Salaam (of Allah) be upon them, is created.

So I asked Abu Abdillah and he said:

I know him to be reckless, may Allah fight him! Karabeesi couldn't get himself to mention Jibreel nor Muhammad, may the Salaat and Salaam of Allah be upon them, this one became a Jahmi.

And in the book it says that he said in his Khutbah:

All praise is to Allah who has appeared to His creation by way of His creation.

So I asked Abu Abdillah, and he said:

This is a Jahmi, Allah appeared to the mountains, and he is saying Allah appeared to His creation by way of His creation, if they prayed behind him let them re-do their prayer.

Adh-Dhahabi said:

The statement of Hishaam has an angle which can have it be given some consideration and be correct, but it's not befitting to use this ambiguous statement unrestrictedly."

End of speech.

With this Imam Ahmed didn't take into consideration that Hishaam bin 'Ammaar was an Imam and that his mode of life was a good one, and he ruled upon him with being a Jahmi when this wrongful speech occured from him, and he didn't look and search an excuse for him or an elaboration for this ambiguous speech!
