In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Milestones on the path to stability
The company of the steadfast
It is a means of stability
The constant company of established scholars
And patient workers
And honest friends
God Almighty said
And be patient with those who call on their Lord
In the morning and evening they want his face
And do not turn your eyes away from them
You want the adornments of the worldly life
And do not obey someone whose heart We have made neglectful of Our remembrance
And follow his whims
His matter was excessive
And keep people on the path
They are the people of the Book and the Sunnah
Those who follow the understanding of the nation’s predecessors
And on top of them are the divine scholars
Who are the heirs of the prophets
They are the victorious sect that appears upon the truth
In Sahih Muslim, on the authority of Thawban, he said:
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
A group of my nation continues to adhere to the truth
Whoever takes it for them will not harm them
Until God's command comes and they are
Imam Ahmed, may God have mercy on him, said
In the statement of the Victorious Sect
If they are not the owners of the hadith
I don't know who they are
Ahmed bin Sinan, may God have mercy on him, said
They are scholars and archaeologists
Ali bin Al-Madini, may God have mercy on him, said
They are the ones who talk
Al-Bukhari, may God have mercy on him, said
I mean the people of hadith
Yazid bin Harun, may God have mercy on him, said
If they are not the owners of the hadith
I don't know who they are
Sheikh al-Islam said about the hadith scholars
As in fatwas
They are the most intelligent people
And the fairest of them
I give them a correct opinion
And give them words
And the most correct of them in view
He gave them evidence
And I will debate them
He perfected their physiognomy
And the most sincere inspiration
How noble Imam Ahmad and Al-Shafi’i are
And others among the nation
Except by following the Hadith and Sunnah
That is why the scholars were
From the scholars of hadith and narration
And speakers of wisdom
Abu Othman Al-Jabri said
He who commands the Sunnah upon himself
In word and deed
He spoke wisdom
It is a matter of passion
On himself in word and deed
He spoke heresy
God Almighty said
If you obey Him, you will be guided
And from this
If only one world
From the scholars of hadith and narration
On earth
It would be the duty of the people of the earth
To follow him
Because it is the true community
Which was conveyed by the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
With her commitment
When Ishaq bin Rahwi was asked
About the group
He said
Muhammad bin Aslam al-Tusi
Group
Isaac said
I have not heard a scientist in fifty years
He was more stubborn
With the influence of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
From Muhammad bin Aslam
Ibn al-Qayyim commented
According to the words of Ishaq bin Rahwi
In relief of the anxious
In Satan's traps
Saying
And it is true, I swear
If the era is in it
He knows the Sunnah and calls for it
It is the argument
It is the consensus
It is the greatest blackness
It is the path of believers
Which is the difference
And follow others
By God, God did not take care of it
He will be sent to hell and an evil destination
He said in informing the signatories
Consensus and argument
And the greatest blackness
He is the world who has the right
Even if he was alone
Even if the people of the earth disagree with him
All the people were deceived
The time of Ahmed bin Hanbal
Except for a small group
They were the group
The judges were then
The muftis, the caliph, and his followers
They are the gays
Imam Ahmed was alone
It is the group
And this is what I said
Athar bin Masoud believes him
May God be pleased with him
As he says
The group did not agree with the truth
Even if you are alone
And what distinguishes him
People of Hadith and Sunnah
Consistency in the curriculum
The Sheikh of Islam said in fatwas:
And the people of Hadith and Sunnah
They are the most knowledgeable and certain people
And peace and tranquility
And they are the ones who know
And they know that they know
They are certain of the truth
They do not complain or complain
This is unlike others
One of the theologians and philosophers
He said in fatwas
You will find people of speech
Most people move
From saying to saying
It was stated clearly in one place
And definitely the opposite
And the expiation of his speaker is in another place
This is evidence of uncertainty
This is why some of the predecessors said
Omar bin Abdul Aziz or others
Whoever makes his religion an object of disputes
More mobility
As for the people of Sunnah and Hadith
None of their scholars know
Nor is it for the benefit of their common people
He never went back on his statement or belief
Rather, they are the most patient people in this regard
Even if they are tested with all kinds of ordeals
They were tempted by all kinds of temptations
This is the condition of the prophets and their followers from the past
Like the people of Al-Akhdood and the like
The predecessors of this nation were the Companions and Followers
And other imams
And in bulk
Constancy and stability are in the people of Hadith and Sunnah
Many times more than what is found among the scholars of theology and philosophy
Rather, the philosophizing person is more disturbed and confused
At his command from the speaker
Because the speaker has the truth that he received from the prophets
What the theologian does not have
We do not mean by the people of hadith and narrations
Those who work in it correct and weaken
Just listen and leave
Then after that, they contradict the approach of the predecessors in belief and behavior
Rather, he means the people of hadith
Those who venerate texts and govern them in all aspects of religion
And in the manner of the first companions, followers, and established imams
The predecessors used to disparage the people of color
Those who do not stand firm in what they say
Abu Masoud entered upon Hudhayfah while he was sick
So he assigned it to him
Abu Masoud said
Or Suna
Hudhayfah said
Misguidance is the right of misguidance
To know what you are denying
Deny what you know
Beware of variation in religion
Ibrahim Al-Nakhai said
They saw diversity in religion as a result of doubt in the hearts
The Sheikh of Islam said about the people of innovation in the collection of fatwas
They do not adhere to one religion
They are overcome with doubts
This is God’s custom among those who turn away from the Qur’an and Sunnah
And then
The Muslim should avoid and stay away from the people of heresy and misguidance
Unless it is to mingle with them
Benefit from an invitation or an informative debate
This can only be done by someone who is capable and knows the true method
And the methods of the people of falsehood
Sufyan Al-Thawri said
He who sits with a heresy
He was not spared any of the three
Either it could be a temptation for others
Or something falls into his heart and he is distressed
Then God will cause him to enter Hell
Or he says
I swear I don't care what they say
I am confident in myself
Whoever believes in God will maintain his religion for the blink of an eye
Take it away from him
Al-Shatibi said in the sit-in
One may be certain about one of the matters of the Sunnah
Then the possessor of desires throws into him a passion beyond what the word can bear
It has no origin
Or he has more restrictions on his opinion
He accepts it
If he goes back to what he knew
He found it dark
Either he senses it and responds to it with knowledge
Or he is unable to respond
Or he doesn't feel it
He goes with those who perished
