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!
