00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.179
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:09.179 --> 00:00:12.179
Among the characteristics of those firmly grounded in knowledge:

00:00:12.179 --> 00:00:17.730
The scholars who are firmly grounded do not argue using falsehood.

00:00:17.730 --> 00:00:19.730
Nor do they dispute regarding the truth.

00:00:19.730 --> 00:00:23.730
In compliance with the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:

00:00:23.730 --> 00:00:27.730
"I guarantee a house on the outskirts of Paradise

00:00:27.730 --> 00:00:31.730
for one who abandons disputation, even if he is in the right."

00:00:31.730 --> 00:00:33.729
Narrated by Abu Dawud.

00:00:33.729 --> 00:00:36.729
And if they differ among themselves,

00:00:36.729 --> 00:00:40.729
they only differ in matters where disagreement is permissible.

00:00:40.729 --> 00:00:45.729
Their disagreement is based upon evidence and the exercise of ijtihad regarding it.

00:00:45.729 --> 00:00:48.729
This is the arguing in a manner that is best.

00:00:48.729 --> 00:00:51.789
And it is hoped that there is mercy in such disagreement.

00:00:51.789 --> 00:00:57.789
As for disagreement based on falsehood for the sake of prestige, status, position, or wealth,

00:00:57.789 --> 00:01:01.789
it is a curse and a calamity, and there is no mercy in it.

00:01:01.789 --> 00:01:06.430
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
