About Innovators

Ibn 'Abbaas (radiyallaahu 'anhumaa) said: "Do not sit with the people of
ahwaa', for verily their gatherings cause sickness in the hearts." 1

1 Al-Ibaanah #371




Hishaam said: al-Hasan [al-Basree] and Muhammad bin Seereen used to
both say: 'Do not sit with the people of ahwaa' and do not argue with
them and do not listen from them." 2


Aboo Qilaabah said: "Do not sit with the people of ahwaa', and do not
argue with them, for verily I do not feel safe that they will immerse you
in their misguidance or confuse you in that which you already know." 3


Ibraaheem an-Nakha'ee said: "Do not sit with the people of ahwaa', for
verily their gatherings cause the light of Eemaan to go from the hearts,
and strip the beauty from the faces, and cause hatred to be inherited in
the hearts of the believers." 4


Ayyoob as-Sakhtiyaanee said: "Aboo Qilaabah said to me: 'O Ayyoob!
Memorize from me four (things): Do not speak regarding the Qur'aan
with your opinion, and beware of (speaking about) al-Qadr, and if the
Companions of Muhammad (Sallallaahu 'alayhi wasallam) are mentioned
then withhold, and do not give the people of ahwaa' your hearing so they
cast into it what they wish." 5

Salaam bin Abee Mutee' said: "a man from ahlul-bid'ah said to Ayyoob
[as-Sakhtiyaanee - d.131H]: 'O Abaa Bakr! Can I ask you about a word?'
[Salaam] said: "So I saw him indicate with his hand and he was saying:
'Not even half a word, not even half a word!'" 7


7 Al-Ibaanah of Ibn Battah [d.387H], #482



Muhammad bin Seereen, if he heard speech from a person of bid'ah, he
would put his fingers in his ears, then he said: "if is not halaal for me to
speak to him until he stands up [and leaves] his place." 8

Muslim bin Yasaar said: "Do not open up your hearing to a person of
bid'ah, so he pours inside it what you don't have the ability to take out of
your heart." 9


Sufyaan ath-Thawree [d.161H] said: "Whoever lends his hearing to a
person of bid'ah has gone out from the protection of Allaah and is
entrusted to himself." 10


al-Imaam As-Saaboonee [d.449H]: "And along with that, they were
agreed upon subduing ahlul-bid'ah by debasing them, degrading them,
keeping them far away, being distant from them and from accompanying
them and living with them, and upon seeking nearness to Allaah
(Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) by avoiding and abandoning them." 11


al-Imaam al-Aajurree mentioned in his Akhlaaqul-'Ulamaa': "Because
from the characteristics of the 'Aalim al-'Aaqil is that he doesn't sit with
ahlul-ahwaa', and doesn't debate with them." 12


Sha'eeb bin Harb said: Ibn 'Awn said: "The one who sits with ahlul-bid'a
is more severe upon us than ahlul-bid'a." 13

Abool-Jawzaa' said: "For apes and pigs to live next door to me in a
house is more beloved to me than there live next door to me a man from
ahlul-ahwaa'". 14


Thaabit bin 'Ajlaan said: "I met Anas bin Maalik, and Ibn Musayyib,
and al-Hasan al-Basree, Sa'eed bin Jubayr, ash-Sha'bee, Ibraaheem an-
Nakha'ee, 'Ataa' bin Abee Rabaah, Taawoos, Mujaahid, 'Abdullaah bin
Abee Maleekah, and az-Zuhree, Makhool, al-Qaasim Abaa 'Abdir-
Rahmaan, 'Ataa' al-Khuraasaanee, Thaabit al-Banaanee, al-Hakim bin
'Utaybah, Ayyoob as-Sakhtiyaanee, Hamaad, Muhammad bin Seereen
and Abaa 'Aamir - and he had reached Aboo Bakr as-Siddeeq - and
Yazeed ar-Raqaashee and Sulaymaan bin Moosaa, all of them ordering
me to adhere to the Jamaa'ah, and forbidding me from the people of
ahwaa'." 15
