Remainder of the answer: Is it correct for one to say that publicly rebuking the rulers is the methodology of the Salaf, and to cite as evidence Abu Sa'id al-Khudri's rebuke of Marwan ibn al-Hakam?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Why? Because the unruly and the rabble of the people can never be controlled, and publicly rebuking the rulers is exploited by these rabble-rousers to achieve their aims. And Satan, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: meaning Satan between whom? Between the inhabitants of the peninsula, he incites between them until the issues lead to killing, and a man meets his brother in Islam, or perhaps his brother by blood, or his cousin, or his brother-in-law, and kills him over what? Over nothing.
So the result is that we say: It is obligatory for the youth of the awakening to look at the texts from all angles, and not to proceed with anything until they look at its consequences. If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2500Sahih (Darussalam) then make this a standard for you in all your words, and likewise in all your actions. And success is from Allah.
I mean, sometimes if we lengthen the answer to the question, the public benefit requires this. Yes.
Satan has despaired, or has been despaired, of being worshipped
إن الشيطان يئس أو أيس أن يعبدin the Arabian Peninsula, but he has been content with inciting between them
بجزيرة العرب، ولكنه رضي بالتحريش بينهمSo the result is that we say: It is obligatory for the youth of the awakening to look at the texts from all angles, and not to proceed with anything until they look at its consequences. If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
And whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, then let him say what is good or remain silent.
من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليقل خيراً أو ليصمتI mean, sometimes if we lengthen the answer to the question, the public benefit requires this. Yes.
