Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning the fighting of the Jews, when he said that the stone and the tree would speak and say, “O Muslim, O servant of Allah.” He asks: Does his saying “O Muslim, O servant of Allah” intend only the monotheists, by his saying “O servant of Allah”? Or does it include every Muslim, even if he is from the known sects that fell short in oneness of worship and focused on oneness of lordship?
Answer:
He has not reached the level of disbelief or shirk (associating partners with Allah); he is a Muslim, even if he has fallen short. Yes.
