One of the doctors, when he reached the chapter on the rulers, said that there is disagreement among the Salaf regarding rising against the rulers!

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. One of the doctors who teaches us the subject of 'Aqeedah, when he reached the chapter on the rulers, said that there is disagreement among the Salaf regarding rising against the rulers, and then the matter settled on it being not permissible. The question is: Does this disagreement actually exist? And how do we deal with this teacher if it is not true?

Answer:
No, there is no disagreement among the Salaf regarding not rising against the rulers. Rather, they are in consensus, and they fought the Khawarij. They fought the Khawarij under the leadership of the Commander of the Faithful, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). How can he say that they disagreed?
This story is wrong, but you must guide him and tell him that this is a mistake and that it is not permissible for him to mention these things, even though he is a teacher. It is not permissible for him to mention these things. If he wants to consider the disagreement of the Mu'tazilah and the disagreement of the Khawarij, this is the evil of the people of misguidance; it is not taken into account. The disagreement of the people of misguidance is not taken into account.
Rather, the disagreement among the people of the Sunnah and the community is what is taken into account, and it does not occur in these matters and these principles. They only disagreed in fiqh issues. As for what concerns 'Aqeedah and the principles of 'Aqeedah, they did not disagree in it, and praise be to Allah. So you must alert this teacher and guide him to this. Yes.
