Do we cooperate with the Rafidah in what we agree upon and excuse them in what they have opposed us in?

The questioner : Yes, Shaykh, what is your opinion of this statement, Shaykh? It says: "We, the people of the Sunnah, must extend our hands to the Rafidah, shake their hands, smile in their faces, sit with them, talk to them, visit them and have them visit us, reconnect what has been severed between us, and engage in dialogue and consultation. We cooperate in what we agree upon and dialogue in what we differ in, combining cooperation and dialogue. We do not want them to compromise, nor do we compromise; each remains in his place and upon his belief, while continuing cooperation and dialogue. This is because we do not want the Ummah to become more scattered than it already is, or to be torn apart beyond the tearing it is currently experiencing. We do not want the Ummah to continue cursing one another and insulting one another. The Ummah needs cooperation because we are living a bitter reality. We cooperate and dialogue to lift it out of its bitter reality. There is no need for some of us to provoke others. If you, O Rafidi, want to curse Abu Hurayrah, curse him in your house, but do not curse him in public!" He went on to say: "I found that the Shi'ah madhab is a collection of errors that were gathered and called the Shi'ah madhab. If we took some of the mistakes of some of the great scholars of the people of the Sunnah, like Ibn Hazm, and the great scholars of the Ummah in reliable and well-known books, there would be serious problems. This exists in all places. If you gathered them and put them in a book and said, 'This is the madhab of the people of the Sunnah and the community from their books,' meaning in his own words, he said, 'By Allah, we would be the disbelievers?'"

The Shaykh : This is wrong. I say this statement is wrong. Can anyone permit cursing Abu Hurayrah, whether in public or in private? Given the grace Allah bestowed upon him and the Ummah by transmitting these great hadiths, which resulted in a great wealth of Shari'ah? In any case, he must fear Allah the Mighty and Majestic in himself and return from what he wrote or what he put on a tape. This is not possible. This is a rejected and refuted statement. May Allah guide us among those He has guided.
As for the unity of the Ummah, there is no doubt that it is obligatory, as Allah the Mighty and Majestic said: But obligatory upon what?
Upon the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his family and his Companions, and not upon desires. He began with the rope before saying "all together," and the rope of Allah is His religion and His Shari'ah. As for agreeing through compromise, this is wrong. For this reason, we find the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) refuting the innovators and holding that it is obligatory for them to return to the truth.
