A Response to Those Who Doubt the Authenticity of the Hadith of the Schism
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another questioner says: The hadith of the split is one on which the Muslim community has agreed, and praise be to Allah, regarding the authenticity of this hadith. However, there are those who doubt the authenticity of this hadith. What do we say in response to them?
Answer:
Do not pay attention to them, and there is no need for a response. Praise be to Allah, we have the words of the scholars and the preservers regarding the authentication and strengthening of this hadith. This person wants to make division permissible. The one who attacks the hadith wants division and encourages division, and it upsets him that the Muslim community is united and cohesive. So this is one of the callers to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), yes.
