(The Affliction Befalling the People of Hadith) There, the soldiers of Allah were afflicted by the *** troops of the accursed one in all manner of ways: beating and imprisonment, then declaring them disbelievers and *** innovators.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"There, the soldiers of Allah were afflicted by the *** troops of the accursed one in all manner of ways"
Why? Because the Sultan was with them, and they afflicted the people of hadith.
"Beating and imprisonment, then declaring them disbelievers *** and innovators, and cursing with open slander"
Meaning, they bring every kind of curse against the people of hadith, until they say they are disbelievers, may Allah protect us!
"Indeed, we have seen from a group of them *** a matter that shakes the strength of faith
They curse the people of hadith and their religion ***"
That is, the religion of the people of hadith.
"*** Taking hadith and leaving the saying of so-and-so"
Meaning: they curse the people of hadith. Why? Because their religion is taking hadith and leaving the opinion of so-and-so and so-and-so, and despite that, they curse them.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him), as has passed us by many times, it appears from his words that in his heart toward them is the anger and enmity for which they are the cause, because they afflicted the people of hadith, they afflicted the people of the Sunnah, they cried out against them openly and secretly and in every place. And this is what caused some denial of the divine attributes to spread in the Islamic world; they were, may Allah protect us, tightening the noose around the people of hadith and the people of the Sunnah. We ask Allah for safety.
