The questioner:
And may He bless you. This questioner says: Shaykh Abd al-Rahman ibn Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said in *al-Durar al-Saniyyah*, and the text is: “The scholars, both the Salaf (the earliest generations) and the Khalaf (the later generations), from among the Companions, the Tabi'un (the generation after the Companions),
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The questioner:
Ibn Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) in his book *al-Durar al-Saniyyah*.
The Shaykh:
It is a collection, a collection of scholars of knowledge, by Ibn Qasim? What is it by Ibn Hasan? Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. In *al-Durar al-Saniyyah*, the text is: “The scholars, both the Salaf and the Khalaf, from among the Companions, the Tabi'un, the Imams, and all the people of the Sunnah and the community, agreed that a person is not a Muslim except by being free from major shirk (associating partners with Allah) and disavowing it, and those who commit it, and hating them and opposing them to the extent of one’s ability and capacity.

The Shaykh:
Seeing shirk and the mushrikin.
The questioner:
And hating them and opposing them to the extent of one’s ability and capacity.
The Shaykh:
And disavowal means hating them and opposing them; this is the meaning of disavowal of them. But if you love them and say, “I am disavowed of them,” while you love them, that is a lie; it is not disavowal. Yes.
The questioner:
Because it has been found in these days among those who claim affiliation with the Salafiyyah (followers of the Salaf) that they say this is the doctrine of the Khawarij and the Mu'tazilah.
The Shaykh:
You are the one from the Khawarij. The one who says this is the one from the Khawarij. We ask Allah for safety. This is a statement of truth. This is a statement of truth. It is not the doctrine of the Khawarij. This is the doctrine of the people of the Sunnah and the community. Yes.
