(Clarification that the people of innovation who declare the people of the Sunnah disbelievers are more severe than the Khawarij) By the right of the One who has distinguished you with knowledge, verification, fairness, and recognition, you are

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"By the right of the One who has distinguished you with knowledge, verification, fairness, and recognition"
It means, who is it that has distinguished you? By the right of the One who has distinguished you, meaning who is it that has distinguished you with knowledge, verification, fairness, and recognition, and forbidden these people? The answer is no one; rather, the opposite is true: it is they whom Allah has distinguished with knowledge, verification, fairness, and recognition.
"Are you more deserving than the Khawarij of what the Messenger said? So clarify with an explanation"
What did the Messenger say about the Khawarij? He said:
They would glance through the teachings of Islam so hurriedly just as the arrow passes through the pray. إنهم يمرقون من الإسلام كما يمرق السهم من الرمية
Sahih Muslim 1064a
So are they more deserving, or are you? He is saying: You are more deserving than them, because the Khawarij only declare disbelievers those who commit sins and make the blood of those who disobeyed Allah lawful to shed, whereas you declare disbelievers those who follow the Book and the Sunnah. There is a great difference between you. For this reason, he said:
"They kill the worshipper of al-Rahman, yet they call upon the people of idol worship"
They kill what? Yes, he said, yes.
"Are you more deserving than the Khawarij of what the Messenger said? So clarify with an explanation"
You had an explanation, so clarify it. Are you more deserving of what the Messenger said than the Khawarij, or are the Khawarij?
