In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
0:03
The life of the ancestor
0:06
Between words and action
0:09
By Sheikh Ahmed bin Nasser Al-Tayyar
0:13
Our duty towards the righteous predecessors
0:18
We must pay attention to my words and the lives of the righteous predecessors and well-established scholars and highlight them
0:27
For the following
0:29
First, fulfill their duty and fulfill their rights upon us
0:34
We benefited from them and our situation was improved after God Almighty because of them
0:40
It is their right for us to show and spread their knowledge and exploits
0:45
We ask God Almighty to unite us with them in Paradise
0:50
Secondly
0:52
Taking care of their words and behavior, being attached to them and loving them
0:57
It brings the believer closer to them and makes him resemble them
1:02
As close as possible to the righteous predecessors
1:05
The believer is righteous and adheres to the Sunnah
1:09
He alienates and stays away from passion and innovation
1:13
There are few mistakes and errors
1:17
And from the letter of the one who deviated
1:19
Some people made many mistakes
1:22
He became closer by keeping them away from the guidance of their predecessors
1:25
And their lack of care about their behavior
1:28
If you wish to join the people, follow their path
1:32
It has become clearly visible to those who walk
1:36
This path must be taken
1:39
The imams of its people succeeded the council for their guidance and knowledge
1:44
Like Al-Shafi’i and Ahmad
1:46
Ishaq and Abu Ubaid
1:48
And whoever follows their path
1:51
Whoever claims to take this path is not their path
1:55
He fell into troubles and dangers
1:58
He took what was not permissible to take
2:01
Leaving what needs to be done
2:03
Third
2:06
To highlight their words and revive their effects
2:10
God repel many heresies and deviations
2:14
Suspicions and desires
2:16
There is only right or wrong
2:20
The weakness of truth is not the strength of falsehood
2:23
The truth is only strong by the strength of its people
2:27
The people of truth are the righteous predecessors, companions and followers
2:31
And whoever follows them with goodness
2:34
Those who adhere to the Qur’an and Sunnah
2:37
Highlighting their influences, morals, beliefs and approaches
2:42
It calls for people to accept what they are
2:45
It corrects the path of those affiliated with Islam
2:48
And their darkness increases
2:50
This inevitably leads to their strength and the weakness of those who oppose them
2:56
Fourth
2:58
To highlight their words and revive their effects
3:01
It makes the Muslim distinguish between right and wrong
3:05
Who is affiliated with knowledge and advocacy
3:08
Whoever sees him violates the guidance of our righteous predecessors in behavior or morals
3:13
Or beliefs or method
3:16
His mistake or misguidance
3:18
Then the Muslim will have insight and guidance
3:22
He is safe from misguidance, deviation, and deception by those who stray from the path of truth
3:28
No matter how great his fame is
3:30
His style was good and his influence reached
3:33
Fifth
3:36
To make the guidance of the righteous predecessors and their understanding of the issues
3:40
Their interpretation of the legal texts is the ruling in the event of disagreement
3:44
And the decisive factor in conflict
3:47
When people disagree, especially those affiliated with knowledge, advocacy, and goodness
3:53
On issues related to faith, methodology, behavior and ethics
3:58
The guidance of our predecessors is the ruling
4:01
The one who does not refrain from seeking judgment except a deviant and misguided person
4:06
Perhaps each one cited a verse or hadith as evidence
4:10
The other opposes it with a verse or hadith
4:13
So we tell them
4:15
Let us look at the understanding of the Companions, the Successors, and their followers
4:19
Those for whom charity has been definitively proven
4:23
We enjoy the understanding of the well-established scholars who followed them
4:27
Those who have a truthful tongue in the nation
4:31
Our understanding cannot be better than theirs
4:35
Nor are our minds better than theirs
4:37
Nor are our sciences more established than theirs
4:41
If they agree on something
4:43
We must surrender to them
4:46
The nation does not unite on misguidance
