▪️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).
