00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.240
The essence of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:13.560
The servants of the salaf and Sufism

00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:17.559
Sufism did not appear with its deviations and eccentricities.

00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:20.559
Except after the fourth century of the Hijrah.

00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:22.559
Before that,

00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:26.559
The people of the first three favored generations were thus.

00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:31.559
They are known for their diligent worship, detachment from worldly affairs, and piety.

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.

00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.560
Among these noble servants are

00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:42.560
Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal

00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.560
And Ibn al-Mubarak

00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.560
Sufyan al-Thawri

00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:48.560
And al-Fudayl ibn 'Iyad

00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:49.560
and others

00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:55.560
None of them exhibited any of the eccentricities or innovations of the Sufis.

00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.560
Sufism did not exist at all during their time.

00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:00.560
Nevertheless

00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:05.560
The Sufis claim that these esteemed worshippers are among them.

00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.560
They attribute them to themselves.

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.560
The truth is that they are innocent of all that.

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:17.769
