For whom is it said: "Peace be upon those who follow the guidance"?

The questioner : I just remembered, when you mentioned the Mu'tazilah, I heard your tape. I don't remember if I asked you once: "Should I say: 'Peace be upon those who follow the guidance'?" You said: "Do not say this if it is..."

The Shaykh : To whom, to whom do you say it?

The questioner : If I find Muslims and Christians present in a gathering, and I do not know who among them is Muslim or Christian, I asked you: "Should I say 'Peace be upon those who follow the guidance'?" You told me: "No." Then I heard your tape with this man who said to you, "What is on the paper, what is on the paper," do you remember when he came to your house, when he appeared and was leaving, he said: "Peace be upon you," and I heard you say: "And upon those who follow the guidance, peace." Is there a reason for this?

The Shaykh : This is different from that. You are saying a gathering with Muslims and polytheists, you say: "Peace be upon you." As for this man, he is a Mu'tazili who denies the Sunnah, so I said to him, "I did not hear, what is the problem?"

The questioner : Meaning, if there is someone who denies the Sunnah, we do not call him a disbeliever.

The Shaykh : Misguided.

The questioner : Misguided.

The Shaykh : Let us leave so we can pray.
The student : Before the prayer.
