Question:
I sat with people who cast doubt on me regarding *al-Durar al-Suniyyah*, and then they quoted to me words from it that I do not know where they are. The question is: what is your opinion of it?
Answer:
You are the one who is wrong. Why do you sit with these people? Do not sit with these people; sit with the people of knowledge and the people of virtue. As for these pretenders to knowledge or those with malicious intent, do not sit with them; stay away from them.[Al-An'am 6:68] [Al-An'am 6:68] A companion has an influence on his companion; the righteous companion is like a seller of musk, and the bad companion is like a blacksmith’s bellows. So choose righteous companions and stay away from these people. *Al-Durar al-Suniyyah* is all good, praise be to Allah. It is a call and a defense of the correct creed, and it is based on the Book, the Sunnah, the consensus of the Ummah, and the creed of the righteous Salaf.
It is a fine summary, a response to the people of falsehood. *Kashf al-Shubuhat* contains abundant knowledge, but these people do not appreciate knowledge as it deserves, or they are people of ideas, and these pearls respond to their ideas. Yes.

وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الَّذِينَ يَخُوضُونَ فِي آيَاتِنَا فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَخُوضُوا فِيanother conversation. And if Satan should cause you to forget, then do not remain after the reminder with the wrongdoing people.
حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِ وَإِمَّا يُنسِيَنَّكَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَلَا تَقْعُدْ بَعْدَ الذِّكْرَىٰ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَIt is a fine summary, a response to the people of falsehood. *Kashf al-Shubuhat* contains abundant knowledge, but these people do not appreciate knowledge as it deserves, or they are people of ideas, and these pearls respond to their ideas. Yes.
