The questioner : He says: What is your opinion of the group that calls itself the people of hadith, interprets the hadith according to their own understanding, and says when reminded of the sayings of the Salaf: "They are men and we are men, we have our opinion and they have their opinion"?
The Shaykh : There is no one among the people of hadith who says this word, unless they are some of the young upstarts of this time. These people are deluded; they are not from the people of hadith, because the people of hadith follow the Salaf and do not contradict them, and then they follow the Imams who preceded them and do not act independently in understanding from them. And whoever says such a word, that means he has declared himself to be one of the afflicted. "Those are men and we are men!" What Allah wills!
