[8] Usaamah Ibn Ataayaa – [The Pottymouth Vile Hater] – Employed Both The Method of Silent and Speaking Devils By Uttering Falsehood and Concealing Truth Regarding Fitna Makers Prevented From The Masjid]
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
Allaah [The Exalted] said:
[ يٰأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوۤاْ إِن جَآءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوۤاْ أَن تُصِيبُواْ قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُواْ عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ – O you who believe! If a rebellious evil person comes to you with a news, verify it, lest you harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful to what you have done]. [Surah Al-Hujuraat. Aayah 6]
Imaam As-Sadi [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said: This is also one of the moral etiquettes that are obligated on the people of [sound] understanding to adorn themselves with and put into practice. And that is if a rebellious sinful person informs them of some news, they should verify his news and not to merely accept it, because indeed there is great danger [in doing so] and [possibility] of falling into sin. That is because if his news is placed at the same level with the news given by truthful reliable person, one might pass a judgement based on that news and what it necessitates, so loss of life and wealth occurs without right due to that news and thus brings about regret; rather, what is obligated with regards to the news given by a rebellious sinful person is that it is verified and clarified. So, if the proofs and clear indications demonstrates his truthfulness, then it [i.e. the news] is acted upon and declared to be true; but if they demonstrate that he is lying, then it is declared to be lies and not acted upon. Therefore, in this [Aayah] there is a proof that news [given] by a truthful person is accepted, the news [given] by a liar is rejected and the news [given] by a rebellious sinful person is suspended as we have stated. [An Excerpt from Tafseer As-Sadi]
Indeed, not only did Mr pottymouth slandered us, but he also lend an ear to news based on what he desired and did not investigate the true reality of the situation. He desperately ranted that we did prevent some people from the Masjid and thus -in his view – we have committed a heinous crime; then this pathetic deceiver desperately sought to conceal the fact that it is legislated to stop the people of Fitna from entering the Masjid. So, he behaved like the speaking devils by falsely accusing us of committing a crime and behaved liked the silent devils by concealing the fact that our deed was legislated in the Sharee’ah. Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [may Allaah have mercy upon him] said, “When a proof that supports the truth is manifested and the one who wants to repel it finds no way of doing so, he refrains from mentioning it and thus becomes a silent devil, and sometimes he distorts it. Distortion is of two types: Distorting words and distorting meanings. Distorting words is when one utters a word in a context in which it does not establish the truth – either adding to the word or omitting something from it, or substituting it with something else- to the extent that the listener is made to believe something, whilst something else is intended by it, just as the Yahood [i.e. those Yahood who disbelieved in the Prophet & hated him] used to distort words when giving Salaam to the Prophet [i.e. saying As-Saamu Alayka (death be upon you), instead of saying Assalaamu alaykum)]. This is one type of distortion. The second type of distortion is related to meanings – distorting the wording; giving it an interpretation that is not intended by the one who uttered it and pretending not to know its unintended meaning; or dropping other meanings intended by it etc. Allaah [The Most High] said: [وَإِن تَلۡوُ ۥۤاْ أَوۡ تُعۡرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرً۬ا – and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do]”. [An Excerpt from ‘Badaa’i At-Tafseer Al-Jaami Limaa Fassarahu Al-Imaam Ibnul Qayyim. Vol 1. Page 300-303. slightly paraphrased]
Indeed, those prevented from the Masjid were amongst the most obstinate and excessive followers of Dr Muhammad Bin Haadi – those who openly called to their Fitna and put people to trial in the Masjid.
May Allaah bless our beloved Salafi brother Abu Nuaim (Abdullah) and his parents. Indeed, he fulfilled this Fardu Kifaayah by rebutting and exposing the obstinate Musaafiqah – Abu Makkah and his ilk (may Allah guide them) Aameen.
