Did the Sufis take their creed from the Jahmiyyah?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: Did the Sufis take their creed from the Jahmiyyah?

Answer:
No, the Sufis did not take their creed from the Jahmiyyah. The original basis of Sufism is striving in worship. Striving in worship and being strict in worship. This is their starting point. Then it developed, and atheists entered it, until it led to the unity of existence. The reason for this is ignorance, for they are ignorant.
Because the Sufis, as you know, do not see the seeking of knowledge. They say: Do not learn, for knowledge occupies you from worship. Seeking knowledge occupies you from worship. And from the remembrance of Allah. Devote yourselves to worship and remembrance. And knowledge will come to you from Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Inspiration from Allah. Satan says this to them. They disdain the seeking of knowledge. Therefore, they fell into what they fell into. Yes.
