The Ruling on Disliking 'Amr ibn al-'As (may Allah be pleased with him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I have a colleague who works in the Kingdom, but the people of knowledge, when they want to mock, recall the letter from 'Amr ibn al-'As to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), in which he mentioned at a certain hour that it was criminal matters, and then he made him declare that he does not like 'Amr ibn al-'As (may Allah be pleased with him). What should I do with him?
Answer:
This is wrong. First, this story and its presentation, if it is true, is intended to cause excitement and fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). As for disliking 'Amr ibn al-'As (may Allah be pleased with him), that is nifaq (hypocrisy). Whoever dislikes one of the two companions of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), that is nifaq (hypocrisy). Yes.
