The Meaning of the Poet's Saying: "Where do you come from, and what of the hadith and its people? *** And the revelation and reason by proof?"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"Where do you come from, and what of the hadith and its people? *** And the revelation and reason by proof?"
This means you are nothing in the company of the people of hadith, the people of revelation, and the people of reason by proof.
"You have nothing but claims and complaints *** or testimonies against slander.
This is what, by Allah, we have received from you *** in battle when the two ranks faced each other
Yes, when the two lines face each other. It is known that claims, complaints, and false testimonies do not establish truth nor invalidate falsehood. But this is their habit; they escalate matters to the ruler and lie about the people of the Sunnah, to the extent that rulers imprison the people of the Sunnah and beat them, as is well known in what they did to Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (may Allah have mercy on him), Ibn al-Qayyim, and others, and to the Shaykh al-Islam as well, and others.
