00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:09,240
The essence of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,560
The servants of the salaf and Sufism

3
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,559
Sufism did not appear with its deviations and eccentricities.

4
00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:20,559
Except after the fourth century of the Hijrah.

5
00:00:20,559 --> 00:00:22,559
Before that,

6
00:00:22,559 --> 00:00:26,559
The people of the first three favored generations were thus.

7
00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:31,559
They are known for their diligent worship, detachment from worldly affairs, and piety.

8
00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:37,560
Following in this the guidance of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and his noble Companions.

9
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,560
Among these noble servants are

10
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,560
Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal

11
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,560
And Ibn al-Mubarak

12
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,560
Sufyan al-Thawri

13
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,560
And al-Fudayl ibn 'Iyad

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,560
and others

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:55,560
None of them exhibited any of the eccentricities or innovations of the Sufis.

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,560
Sufism did not exist at all during their time.

17
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,560
Nevertheless

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,560
The Sufis claim that these esteemed worshippers are among them.

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,560
They attribute them to themselves.

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,560
The truth is that they are innocent of all that.
