Did the Companions disagree on matters of creed?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A question related to this topic: Did the Companions disagree on creed?
The Shaykh : The answer has already been given. As the saying goes, "the sword precedes the excuse". I stated earlier that the Companions disagreed on some secondary issues, but, praise be to Allah, they did not disagree on any matter of creed, just as the Khalaf did.
The Salaf, praise be to Allah, had no Mu'tazilah among them, no Murji'ah, no Asha'irah, and no Maturidiyyah. Rather, they were all Salafis, just as we say today, because they all followed the master of the Salafis, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), without leaning to the right or the left, and without subjecting matters of the unseen to their intellects and opinions. You know, for example, that the Mu'tazilah denied the seeing of Allah in the Hereafter. On what evidence? They said it is impossible for a weak human with poor vision to look at Allah, the Creator, the All-Powerful., rather than saying "this is not reasonable" or "this is far from reason and logic." The Mu'tazilah, the Asha'irah, and others fell into such deviations.
