(Explanation of the first person who labeled the people of the Sunnah as the Hashawiyyah from among the people of innovation, namely 'Amr ibn 'Ubayd the Mu'tazili) Do you know who named your shaykhs with this name in the past?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"Do you know who named your shaykhs with this name in the past?
'Amr ibn 'Ubayd named 'Abd Allah, that son of the Caliph, the one who drove away Satan"

Ibn 'Ubayd is 'Amr ibn 'Ubayd, the imam of the people of 'Aqilah (the Mu'tazilah). Who did he name with this? 'Abd Allah ibn the Caliph. Which Caliph? The one who drove away Satan, which is 'Umar. That means 'Amr ibn 'Ubayd called 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar a Hashawi (a follower of the Hashawiyyah). He called him a Hashawi. So this label from these theologians who deny the divine attributes is old, dating back to the time of the Companions. Yes.
"So you inherited 'Amr"
You inherited 'Amr, so you said that the people of hadith are Hashawiyyah. "Just as they inherited 'Abd Allah" They inherited 'Abd Allah, so they adhered to the Book and the Sunnah.
"How can the two inheritances be equal?" The question here is for negation and denial. The two inheritances are not equal. The one who inherited 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) is not equal to the one who inherited 'Amr ibn 'Ubayd the Mu'tazili.
