The Companions' Disagreement in Creed and Jurisprudence

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Did the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and the Salaf have any disagreement in some matters of creed, or were they on one creed in all its details?

Answer:
We know of nothing of that; we have not learned that they disagreed in any of it. Among the matters of creed, disagreement may occur in matters of jurisprudence, matters of derivation, and ijtihad (independent legal reasoning). As for creed, because creed is based on revelation, it is not a place for ijtihad. Creed is based on revelation; nothing is said in it except what has come in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger. It is not a place for ijtihad. As for matters of jurisprudence and derivation, practical matters, disagreement may occur in them because understandings differ and perspectives differ. If you want to know these matters, refer to the book Raf' al-Malam 'an al-A'immah al-A'lam by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. It will explain to you how disagreement occurred in ijtihad, what their excuse was, and what the Muslim's position is regarding this disagreement.
This is in matters of ijtihad. As for matters of creed, they are not a place for disagreement. No one disagreed in them except the people of misguidance. As for the people of truth, they did not disagree because they receive them from the Book of Allah and from the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
