Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is not the Khariji’s saying to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), “Fear Allah,” among the statements that contradict Islam?
Answer:
Yes, it is a statement directed at the Messenger. Therefore, the Companions disapproved of it and sought permission to kill him. But as I mentioned to you, the Messenger knew matters that were more severe, so that it would not be said that Muhammad is being killed by his Companions, and that this would become a cause for people to turn away from the religion of Allah, or that their tribes would seek revenge for them and rise up against him. The Messenger knew the harms.
