What is the nature of the disagreement between the people of the Sunnah and the Rafidah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Who says that the disagreement between the people of the Sunnah and the community and the Rafidah is only in the branches?

Answer:
The disagreement is in creed; they believe regarding the Ahl al-Bayt: they call upon them along with Allah, they seek aid from them, they make vows to them, just as the other polytheists do with al-Lat and al-Uzza, the angels, the prophets, and the righteous.
Q: What is the ruling on this person who says this?
A: It is explained to him that he is ignorant of their creed; he is clarified what their creed is. Their creed is exaggeration in the Ahl al-Bayt, exaggeration in 'Ali specifically, and in al-Hasan, al-Husayn, Fatimah, and the daughters of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), especially al-Hasan, al-Husayn, and 'Ali. They claim that they benefit whoever seeks aid from them, that they deliver and save them from the punishment of Allah, and that Allah has granted them a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person).
Some of them believe that 'Ali is the Prophet, and that Jibril betrayed the message. They call them: al-Mukhannathun (the effeminate), and some of them exaggerate in him: if they call upon him, he benefits them, and if they seek aid from him, he relieves their distress. For this reason, many of them say: "O 'Ali, O 'Ali" when they stand, and "O Husayn, O Husayn, O Fatimah" when they sit, just as we say: "O Allah, O Allah."
