(The comparison between the Khawarij and the people of innovation regarding their disbelief and their fighting of the people of the Sunnah, and the meaning of al-naqir, al-fatil, and al-qatamir) But it is you who have made their killing permissible
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"But it is you who have made their killing permissible *** in accordance with his Sunnah and the Qur'an"
The Sunnah of whom? The Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Qur'an. You have made it permissible to kill those who hold to the Book and the Sunnah.
"And by Allah, they did not add a naqir to them", meaning to the Book and the Sunnah, "but by affirming it along with faith"
By Allah, they did not add a naqir. That is, these people whom you have declared disbelievers and whose killing you have made permissible did not add a naqir to them. To what? To the Book and the Sunnah. And they did not exceed them by a naqir. The naqir is used as an example for something small and insignificant. In the Qur'an, there are qatamir, naqir, and fatil.[Fatir 35:13] [An-Nisa 4:124] and the fatil. [An-Nisa 4:77] Now, what is the fatil? The scholars said: The fatil is the vein that is on the pit. Do you know the pit? It is called al-'ajam in the language of the people of the Hijaz, and it is called al-fasam in the language of some of the Bedouin, and it is called al-fasa in the language of the Egyptians, al-fasa with the deletion of the mīm, and it is called mandaka in the language of the Afghans. Yes, in any case, now everyone knows it, praise be to Allah, we have known it. And it is called 'abbas in our language. Yes, this pit has three things: the naqir, the fatil, and the qatamir. They are all in the pit. We mentioned that the fatil is the vein that is like a thread in the middle of the pit. And the naqir is a hole in its back, a hole in its back from which the vein comes out. If it is buried in the ground, the vein comes out from this naqir to take root in the mud. And the third, by the permission of Allah, is the fatil. What is it? The cloth wrapped around it, the qatamir. Yes, the qatamir is the cloth wrapped around the pit.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, it is not a cloth sewn by a tailor, O 'Abd al-Rahman. I mean, what is the thread? The skin, the membrane. It is fine, the point is that it is understood by everyone. So he said, may Allah have mercy on him, that they did not add a naqir to the Book and the Sunnah. And Allah knows best.

The Shaykh : ... what fixed it, in the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may the prayers and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. Yes.
"And by Allah, they did not add, and by Allah, they did not add a naqir to them, but by affirming it along with faith"
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, swore that the people of affirmation did not add a naqir to the Book and the Sunnah, but by affirming it along with faith. So they affirmed what came in the Book and the Sunnah, believed in it, and clarified it for the people, and did not add to it.
The Sunnah of whom? The Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Qur'an. You have made it permissible to kill those who hold to the Book and the Sunnah.

To the Book and the Sunnah. And they did not exceed them by a naqir. The naqir is used as an example for something small and insignificant. In the Qur'an, there are qatamir, naqir, and fatil.
And those whom you invoke other than Him do not possess [as much as] the membrane of a date seed.
والذين تدعون من دونه ما يملكون من قطميرwill not be wronged, [even as much as] the speck on a date seed.
ولا يظلمون نقيراHave you not seen those who were told, "Restrain your hands [from fighting] and establish prayer and give zakah"? But then when fighting was ordained for them, at once a party of them feared men as they fear Allah or with [even] greater fear. They said, "Our Lord, why have You decreed upon us fighting? If only You had postponed [it for] us for a short time." Say, The enjoyment of this world is little, and the Hereafter is better for he who fears Allah. And injustice will not be done to you, [even] as much as a thread [inside a date seed]."
