The Shaykh :"The second answer: When we compare the men who follow the path of the Asha'irah with the men who follow the path of the Salaf, we find that those on this path—meaning the path of the Salaf—are more noble, greater, more guided, and more upright than those on the path of the Asha'irah. The four Imams, the founders of the followed schools of jurisprudence, are not on the path of the Asha'irah" Is that correct? And they are more noble than Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari, and others, and his followers. And if you ascend—also—to those above them from the Tabi'un, you will not find them on the path of the Asha'irah.
"And if you go higher, yes, if you go higher to the era of the Companions and the four Rightly Guided Caliphs, you will not find among them anyone who followed the example of the Asha'irah in the names of Allah and His attributes, or in other matters by which the Asha'irah deviated from the path of the Salaf" So, if we compare the men with the men, what are the men of the Asha'irah in the eyes of these? They are nothing.
