The Shaykh : We have previously stated that the people of the Sunnah and the community disavow the methodology of the Rafidah and disavow the methodology of the Nawasib, and we have explained the methodology of the Rafidah and the methodology of the Nawasib. Why were they called Rafidah? It was said because they rejected Zayd ibn 'Ali ibn Husayn ibn 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with them). How did they reject him? They came to ask him about Abu Bakr and 'Umar, so he spoke well of them and said: "They are the two ministers of my grandfather". They said: "Do you speak well of them?" He said: "Yes, they are the two ministers of my grandfather". They said: "Then we reject you". Therefore, they were called the Rafidah; they were called the Rafidah because of their rejection of Zayd ibn 'Ali. In this is the clearest evidence that these Rafidah did not become Shi'ah out of love for the Ahl al-Bayt, but for a purpose they seek, which is to divert people from the religion to the authority of the Ahl al-Bayt, so that their hearts are filled with love for the Ahl al-Bayt and no love remains in them for Allah and His Messenger. Is that clear? This is the reason; this is the truth. Therefore, with them, the authority of individuals is above everything; the authority of individuals is above everything. And thus, our position with these people is to clarify the truth to them and to call them to it, and to say to them: Who was man created to worship? To worship Allah (Mighty and Majestic). And the way to worship Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is to look at the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and follow it, not to look at the guidance of so-and-so and so-and-so. Every person's statement is taken and left, except? Except the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). And no one is infallible in the Shari'ah of Allah except the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
As for the Nawasib, they were called Nawasib because they set up hostility toward the Ahl al-Bayt, oppose them, disparage them, and curse them. So the people of the Sunnah disavow these two deviant methodologies.
