The Shaykh :"In any case, the doubt for those who deny it in that, because of Abu Jahl's argumentation with it" What is the meaning of this word? The doubt for those who deny it in that, meaning in the exaltation of the ancestors and the great ones. Yes, because of Abu Jahl's argumentation with it, and that is his saying:Sahih al-Bukhari 4675 And this doubt is a doubt mentioned by Allah in the Qur'an [Az-Zukhruf 43:23] Look, the doubt is a doubt that says: Their ancestors were upon the truth and we will follow their example. Yes, so the deniers argue with such arguments, and I seek refuge in Allah, with such arguments for their doubt. They argue with such arguments for their doubt and say: Our fathers, how can we disparage their wisdom? How can we consider them misguided in what they were upon? This is not possible. And this exists in the cause of the extremists for their shaykhs and great ones, who say: We do not accept the Qur'an or the Sunnah in opposition to the shaykh, the shaykh of the madhhab, or so-and-so imam, or the like. This leads them to infallibility, and they consider them infallible, just as is found among the Rafidah, the Jahmiyyah, the Qadiyyah, and others. They consider some of their imams infallible, that they cannot err, while the Book and the Sunnah may err. I seek refuge in Allah. And this is undoubtedly a great doubt. And a person must be a follower of what? Of what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) brought. And whoever opposes him among his ancestors and great ones, he does not argue with them against the Qur'an and the Sunnah, but he excuses them for opposing the Qur'an and the Sunnah, if they are worthy of excuse, in that no opposition or contradiction of the text was known from them. As for the one known for opposition and contradiction of the text, he is not excused. But if we see an error in the statement of an imam from the imams, or a scholar from the scholars known for sincerity to Allah, His Book, His Messenger, the imams of the Muslims, and the common people, and we know from these people opposition, what is our position toward it? That we excuse them, we do not agree with them. We know their error, but we excuse them with the excuses mentioned by the scholars of knowledge. And the best book written on this is the book of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, which is: "Raf' al-Malam 'an al-A'immah al-A'lam". For he, may Allah have mercy on him, mentioned many reasons for the opposition of some scholars to what came in the Book and the Sunnah.
The student: ... the one who established the madhhab is more knowledgeable ... .
The Shaykh : Correct, we say first: The one who established the madhhab is more knowledgeable than ... but did the one who established the madhhab receive this hadith and speak about it? It is possible that the one who established the madhhab did not receive it.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : What opposes the authentic among his statements did not oppose the hadith.
The student: The implication of this madhhab.
The Shaykh : It is not correct, not correct. It is an error.
"The twelfth: Reflecting"
The student: The eleventh.
The Shaykh : Yes, "The eleventh: The evidence for the fact that deeds are judged by their endings, because if he had said it, it would have benefited him".
"The eleventh: The evidence for the fact that deeds are judged by their endings, because if he had said it, it would have benefited him" This is based on the fact that the meaning of their saying "the death has arrived" means that the signs of death and dying appeared on him.
"The twelfth: Reflecting on the magnitude of this doubt in the hearts of the misguided, because in the story they did not argue with him except with it, despite his (peace and blessings be upon him) emphasis and repetition, so because of its greatness and clarity in their eyes, they confined themselves to it". And what is it? The exaltation of the great ones and the ancestors.
