(Supplication against the people of innovation, and is it permissible?) We have set them aside and paid no heed to them*** The Messenger and the decisive criterion are sufficient; whoever finds them insufficient, may Allah not suffice him***
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"We have set them aside and paid no heed to them"
It means we have set aside the opinions they adhered to and paid no heed to them. "The Messenger and the decisive criterion are sufficient" of the Qur'an
The student: The criterion
The Shaykh : And the decisive criterion, yes. "The Messenger and the decisive criterion are sufficient
Whoever finds them insufficient, may Allah not suffice him*** from the worst of the events of the times"
He (may Allah have mercy on him) began to supplicate against them, saying:
"Whoever finds them insufficient, may Allah not suffice him*** from the worst of the events of the times"
Meaning, rather, he was afflicted by them.
"Whoever finds them not a cure, may Allah not cure him*** in heart or body"
The one whom the Qur'an and Sunnah do not cure, Allah will not cure his heart or his body. However, we may not agree with Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) on this. We might say: whoever is not cured by these two if he is stubborn. Otherwise, we ask Allah to cure them of their ailment, especially the cure of the heart, which is the important matter. As for the cure of illness, that is easy. But the difficult part is the cure of the heart. Do we say, if we see a person who is an innovator, we present to him the Book and the Sunnah, but he refuses to remain on his innovation, do we say, "May Allah not cure you of the disease of your heart"? Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) says, "May Allah not cure him." But I see that we should say, "We ask Allah for guidance for you." However, Ibn al-Qayyim, considering the harm that befell them and the harm they inflicted upon the people of the Sunnah, saw that they were oppressors and that it is permissible for the oppressed to supplicate against his oppressor. Yes.
"Whoever finds them not a source of sufficiency, the Lord of*** the Throne has cast him into destruction and deprivation"
Yes, if the Book and the Sunnah do not suffice him, then Allah casts him into destruction and deprivation.
"Whoever finds them not a guide, may Allah not guide him*** to the paths of truth and faith"
Everything comes with its opposite. Yes, may Allah have mercy on him.
