As for what follows, the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said in *Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim* "And the cause of the excess in exalting it may be from some of those who claim affiliation, in order to counter the Rafidah, for Satan's aim is to divert creation from the straight path, and he does not care which of the two sides they turn to. It is necessary to avoid all these innovations. And from this category is the month of Rajab, for it is..."
The Shaykh : And what the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned, that Satan wants a person to be led astray from the straight path, whether by extremism from this side or that, is the meaning of what some Christian preachers and leaders of Christian states said: "The most important thing for us is that you take the Muslim out of his religion, whether he becomes a Christian, a Jew, or a Communist; the important thing is that you take him out of his religion, let it be whatever it is." Satan also wants the children of Adam to deviate from the straight path, whether they are Rafidah or Nawasib; the important thing is that he takes them out of the straight path. Based on this, do we counter the Rafidah's sad innovation on the days of Ashura with joy? No, no. It is not correct to say that Ashura and other days are the same in this regard, even though Ashura has the virtue of fasting, because Allah saved Musa and his people in it and destroyed Pharaoh and his people. Yes.

The reader: I have, O Shaykh, that he perhaps means some of those who claim affiliation to knowledge and the Sunnah
The Shaykh : Yes, but from some, what?
The reader: Those who claim affiliation
The Shaykh : Those who claim affiliation
The reader: Yes, yes. And in the marginal note: "He perhaps means some of those who claim affiliation to knowledge and the Sunnah"
The Shaykh : By Allah, what I have is not a doubt if it is cut off at the first rule, but the Sunni-affiliated is better; the Sunni-affiliated instead of the Shia-affiliated, meaning my intention is in comparison to the Shia-affiliated.
The student: We have not omitted it

The Shaykh : Yes, we learned this before, man. You have it like the Ikhwan, so let us make it a copy of the Sunni-affiliated.
