Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: There are those who have made me doubt the attribution of this book, *Sharh al-Sunnah*, to Imam al-Barbahari. He says it has not been historically proven to be his, so is his statement correct?

Answer:
What does he know about history? What does he know about this? He is a compound ignoramus. He does not trust the scholars who have established this, nor does he trust Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, who quoted from it in his fatwas. So we are to disbelieve the Imams and believe this man? What does he know? What does he know about history? And about the lives of the scholars? This is a systematic ignoramus. Perhaps he has something in his heart against this creed. He does not want to make people doubt it. They also said the Qur'an is not the word of Allah. Are you surprised? There is no one who said the Qur'an is not the word of Allah. I mean, is it impossible for someone to say this treatise is not the word of al-Barbahari? It is not impossible. Yes.
