Clarification that falsehood is rejected from whomever it comes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Some students of Islamic knowledge in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia permit this religious innovation, and people are deceived by them. And when you tell the students who attend this shaykh’s lectures: This is a religious innovation,They say: We accept the truth from the shaykh, but we reject the falsehood. They cite the story of Abu Hurayrah with Satan when Satan told the truth,The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (He told you the truth, and he is a liar) They cite this hadith, so they go to the shaykh and take knowledge from him. So, with the shaykh’s evidence and proofs that he presents to them, do they become convinced of this matter?
We say: These people are like those who say: [al-Zukhruf: 22] ,And the statement of those who say: [al-Ahzab: 67] They resemble them, even if they are not of them, because the difference between this and that is clear, but they resemble them, so the principle is the same.So we say: Whatever their shaykh brings, whom they claim is on the right path, we, with the help of Allah, are engaged in refuting it. Even if this were not for a clear reason, brothers! Is this worship or not worship? They claim it is worship by which they draw near to Allah.We say: Where is the Messenger? Where are the Companions? Where are the Successors? Where are the Successors of the Successors regarding this?And we have previously said: These people are either ignorant, or they are concealing the truth, or they are arrogant about the truth. None of this is possible.
And the story of Abu Hurayrah indicates that the truth is accepted from whomever it comes,And we say: and the falsehood is rejected from whomever it comes.
We say: These people are like those who say:
Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion
إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَى أُمَّةٍOur Lord, indeed we obeyed our masters and our dignitaries, and they led us astray from the [right] way.
رَبَّنَا إِنَّا أَطَعْنَا سَادَتَنَا وَكُبَرَاءَنَا فَأَضَلُّونَا السَّبِيلاAnd the story of Abu Hurayrah indicates that the truth is accepted from whomever it comes,And we say: and the falsehood is rejected from whomever it comes.
