The student: I am sitting and reflecting, O Shaykh, if... the rule of the people of the Sunnah, and whoever opposes them, O Shaykh, it becomes clear that the people of the Sunnah are upon the truth.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: Because they do not disagree.
The Shaykh : Okay.
The student: And the people of kalam do not agree on anything.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed, good. This is a clear cause, meaning it indicates to you the validity of the path of the people of the Sunnah: that there is no disagreement among them. As for the people of innovation, they are all in disagreement. The Jahmiyyah are divided into sects, the Rafidah are divided into sects, the Asha'irah are divided into sects, and so on. In fact, a man among them contradicts himself; he writes a book and says this is impossible for Allah, then he writes another book and says this is obligatory for Allah. Yes, there is no doubt that this indicates the validity of the madhhab of the people of the Sunnah and the community. We continue.
