The Shaykh :"And the Rafidah called the people of the Sunnah 'Nuwwasib'."
A Nasibi is one who hates the family of the Prophet and declares enmity against them. The Rafidah say to the people of the Sunnah, "You are Nuwwasib." And the poet says:
"If loving the companions of Muhammad is enmity, *** Let the two weighty ones bear witness that I am a Nasibi."
"If loving the companions of Muhammad is enmity, *** Let the two weighty ones bear witness that I am a Nasibi." Meaning that I love the companions of the Messenger, right? Yes.
They say: Do the Rafidah say that the people of the Sunnah are Nuwwasib? Why? Because they support Abu Bakr and 'Umar, and they love Abu Bakr and 'Umar. And in the view of these people, "just as they supported the family of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."
So the people of the Sunnah and the community say: We support Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthman, and 'Ali, and we hold that the believers among the relatives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) have two rights: the right of kinship and the right of faith. As for the right of kinship, no one who is not a relative shares in it with them. As for the right of faith, every believer shares in it with them, and whoever among them has stronger faith and more righteous deeds is more deserving of loyalty than them from this perspective.
For example, they say: Abu Bakr and 'Umar are higher than 'Ali ibn Abi Talib and the others from the family of the Prophet (may the prayer and peace of Allah be upon him) in terms of faith and righteous deeds.
As for kinship, no, Abu Bakr and 'Umar do not have the same degree of kinship as 'Ali ibn Abi Talib and the family of the Prophet.
So they say: We weigh with the straight balance, and we give—O Fahd—every right its due, yes. So the believers from the family of the Messenger, by Allah, have a right of kinship and a right of faith upon us. Yes. And we hold that their kinship has a distinction and merit in which no one who is not a relative shares with them. But despite that, we do not disavow the other Companions.
They say absolutely: If you do not disavow Abu Bakr and 'Umar and the rest of the Companions, you are declaring enmity against the family of the Prophet. For this reason, they have this false, lying principle where they say: "There is no loyalty without disavowal," meaning there is no loyalty to the family of the Prophet except by disavowing Abu Bakr and 'Umar. I seek refuge in Allah, is this correct? By Allah, this is the biggest lie on the face of the earth.
We support Abu Bakr and 'Umar, yes? And we support 'Ali, Hamzah, al-'Abbas, and others from the family of the Messenger (may the prayer and peace of Allah be upon him), right? If they said: "There is no loyalty to Allah and His Messenger except by disavowing the enemy of Allah and His Messenger," that would be correct, is that right, O Talal?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : No, it is even more correct, because that one denies validity absolutely. It would be correct, as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Mumtahanah 60:4] along with your idols, right? [Al-Mumtahanah 60:4] This is correct; it is not possible to have loyalty to Allah and His Messenger except by disavowing the enemies of Allah and His Messenger.
As for the claim that loyalty to the family of the Prophet is only possible by disavowing Abu Bakr and 'Umar, they have lied, and by Allah, it is the greatest lie.
'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) supported Abu Bakr and 'Umar? Yes, and they were dearer to him than all the Companions without doubt, in our view. Until he (may Allah be pleased with him) would announce from the pulpit of Kufa, saying:Musnad Ahmad 933Lts isnad is Sahih like the hadeeth above] (Darussalam) He himself said this. And whoever claims loyalty to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib while not acknowledging the virtue of Abu Bakr and 'Umar has accused 'Ali ibn Abi Talib of openly committing what is wrong, because he preaches from the pulpit of Kufa saying this statement which these people claim is a lie and worthless.
So what is the bad name that the Rafidah gave to the people of the Sunnah? Nuwwasib, right?
And they also call them Musajjimun and Mushabbihun, because they, meaning the Mu'tazilah, deny the attributes, yes, the Rafidah deny the attributes.

There has already been for you an excellent pattern in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, "Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than Allah. We have denied you, and there has appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah
قد كانت لكم أسوة حسنة في إبراهيم والذين معه إذ قالوا لقومهم إنا برآء منكم ومما تعبدون من دون الله كفرنا بكم وبدا بيننا وبينكم العداوة والبغضاء أبدا حتى تؤمنوا باللهuntil you believe in Allah alone
حتى تؤمنوا بالله وحدهAs for the claim that loyalty to the family of the Prophet is only possible by disavowing Abu Bakr and 'Umar, they have lied, and by Allah, it is the greatest lie.
'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) supported Abu Bakr and 'Umar? Yes, and they were dearer to him than all the Companions without doubt, in our view. Until he (may Allah be pleased with him) would announce from the pulpit of Kufa, saying:
the best of this ummah after its Prophet? [It is] Abu Bakr, then ʻUmar.
