What is the difference between the Khawarij and the Nawasib?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the difference between the Khawarij and the Nawasib?
Answer:
They are at opposite extremes. The Khawarij declared 'Ali a disbeliever, rebelled against him, and killed him. The Nawasib, on the other hand, exaggerate in their praise of 'Ali. They claim that he is the caliph after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and that the caliphates of Abu Bakr and 'Uthman, and the caliphates of Abu Bakr, 'Umar, and 'Uthman, are invalid. They assert that the truth belongs to 'Ali, so they exaggerate in his regard. In fact, some of them say that he is Allah, and they ascribe divinity to him. So the difference is clear; they are opposites, and may Allah protect us from this. These people killed him, while those people exaggerated in his praise. Yes.
