Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is your response to those who say: that the creed of the Khawarij was a Salafi creed, and that they—namely the Khawarij—were Salafis?
Answer:
This is an invalid statement, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) invalidated it by his saying regarding the Khawarij:, and in another wording from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said regarding the Khawarij: they are Sahih Muslim 1064a.
It is known from their creed that they declare the sinning Muslims to be disbelievers and rule that they will abide in the Fire forever; for this reason, they fought 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and the Companions with him and others, so 'Ali fought them and killed them on the Day of al-Nahrawan, and [this is the position] of all the Companions. May Allah grant success.

Answer:
This is an invalid statement, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) invalidated it by his saying regarding the Khawarij:
A group will emerge during a time of division in my Ummah, for whom one of you will consider his own prayer insignificant compared to their prayer, and his recitation insignificant compared to their recitation. They will emerge from Islam as an arrow emerges from a quiver. Wherever you encounter them, kill them, for there is a reward in killing them for the one who kills them.
تمرق مارقة على حين فرقة من أمتي، يحقر أحدكم صلاته مع صلاتهم، وقراءته مع قراءتهم، يمرقون من الإسلام مروق السهم من الرمية، أينما لقيتموهم فاقتلوهم، فإن في قتلهم أجرًا لمن قتلهمthey would kill the followers of Islam and would spare the idol-worshippers
يقتلون أهل الإسلام ويدعون أهل الأوثانIt is known from their creed that they declare the sinning Muslims to be disbelievers and rule that they will abide in the Fire forever; for this reason, they fought 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and the Companions with him and others, so 'Ali fought them and killed them on the Day of al-Nahrawan, and [this is the position] of all the Companions. May Allah grant success.
