The reason the poet singled out Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari for mention
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, why did the poet (may Allah have mercy on him) single out Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari in these verses?
The Shaykh:
Yes, because the Asha'irah are the closest of the sects to the people of the Sunnah and the community, and yet, this is their distance from the other sects, even though they are considered among the closest sects. This is the reason for that. Also, the Asha'irah are now called "after the Sunnah" if the term is used now, they are called Ash'aris. This is a mistake. He is not a follower of the Sunnah, nor is he on the madhhab of al-Ash'ari; they are Mu'tazilah.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
As for al-Ash'ari, he is close to the Sunnah, close to the Sunnah, and his errors are limited, but these people have no limit to their errors.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
