[21] Seeking to Discredit Scholars of Ahlul Athar! [Reminded precisely why Bid’ee Muhammad Hijaab is Reprimanded]
In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “The one who lives long after me will see a lot of differences, so beware of the newly invented matters (in the religion) because it is misguidance. Whoever among you reaches that (time of differing), it is obligated to him to adhere to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Khulafaa [i.e. Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthmaan and Ali], and bite onto it with the molars [i.e. cling to it firmly]”. [Abu Dawud 4607; Ahmad 4/126; Tirmidhee 2676]
Imam Ibn Rajab [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: The Prophet [peace and blessings be upon him] commanded us that during splitting and differing, one should adhere to his Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided khulafaa after him. The Sunnah is the path that is to be adhered to, and that includes adhering to what he and his rightly guided khulafaa were upon with regards to creed, deeds and statements. This is the complete Sunnah. [1]
Imaam Abu Haatim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “This is clear evidence that the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] commanded his Ummah to know the Du’afaa (weak narrators) amongst them and distinguish them from the reliable narrators. That is because the Sunnah cannot be adhered to alongside the lies and falsehood mixed with it, except by way of knowing the Du’afaa and distinguishing them from the reliable narrators”. [2]
Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allaah have mercy upon him] stated, “The Imaams of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaaa’ah, the people of knowledge and Imaan, are possessors of Knowledge, Justice and Mercy. They know the truth in a manner in which it should be in agreement with the Sunnah and free from Bidah. They deal justly with those who are outside of the Sunnah, even if they oppress them, as Allah [The Most High] says:
وَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ عَلَىٰ أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا ۚ اعْدِلُوا هُوَ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ
And let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety. [Surah Al-Maa’idah. Ayah 8]
They are merciful towards the creation. They wish good for them, guidance and knowledge. They do not set out wishing evil for them; rather when they punish them, clarify their mistakes, ignorance and wrong doing, their intention is to clarify the truth, being merciful to the people, enjoining good and forbidding evil so that the entire religion is established sincerely and Allah statement (none has the right to be worshipped except Allah) is the uppermost”. [3]
Al-Allaamah Ubaid Al-Jaabiri [may Allah preserve him] said: “When they [Ahlus Sunnah] speak against anyone amongst the people, it is not due to his lineage, tallness, shortness or specific traits. This does not hold any value in their view. They speak against a Mukhaalif [i.e. the one in opposition to the truth] due to the corruptness of his methodology. They speak against the groups and individuals who are in opposition- not because of their personalities; rather due to their deviation from guidance, the true religion, the path of the believers [i.e. the Sahaabah] and the Sunnah of the leader of the Messengers [Muhammad – peace and blessings of Allah be upon him]. [4]
Therefore, it should be known that Bid’ee Muhammad Hijaab is not reprimanded for anything else other than his misguidance and vile behaviour. Read:

As for his vile mockery of Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) or any other upright scholar, his wrongful actions can be summed up in the following poem:
يُخاطِبُني السَفيهُ بِكُلِّ قُبحٍ
فَأَكرَهُ أَن أَكونَ لَهُ مُجيبا
يَزيدُ سَفاهَةً فَأَزيدُ حِلماً
كَعودٍ زادَهُ الإِحراقُ طيبا
The fool addresses me with every repugnant (expression etc), but I hate to be a respondent, so he increases in foolishness and I increase in forbearance, just as Oud increases in good smell when burnt.
