999 Statements In Defence of the Salafi Creed and Manhaj

-23-


Shaykh ul-Islam Imam Ibn Taymiyyah said,

"The people who are most worthy to be the saved sect are the Ahl al-Hadith and Sunnah, who do not follow anyone else with any blind attachment except the Messenger of Allaah (Sallalahu Alayhee Wasallam) and these people are the ones who are most acquainted with his statement and actions." (Majmu'a Fatawa (3:374)


BENEFITS

1. The existence and the clear reality of the saved sect, it exists and is as real as it gets with its features.

2. The Ahl Al-Hadith and Ahl Al-Sunnah are the saved sect

3. These people ie the saved sect, the Ahl Al-Hadith do not make taqlid or blindly follow anyone but yet there is a group of people who blindly follow the opinions and statements of men other than the Messenger of Allaah (Sallalahu Alayhee Wasallam).

4. The reprehension of following and being blind for someone other than the Messenger of Allaah (Sallalahu Alayhee Wasallam).

5. A sign of the saved sect, the Ahl Al-Hadith is their knowledge, study and comprehension of the statements and actions of the Messenger of Allaah (Sallalahu Alayhee Wasallam) which can be considered a hallmark of the Ahl Al-Hadith and Salafis and yet at the same instance others are ardently busy with the opinions and rulings of others who are from the Ummah of Muhammad Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam.

999 Statements In Defence of the Salafi Creed and Manhaj

Imam Lalika'i said

“And it Is found in some of the books of Abi Hatim Muhammad bin Idris ibn al-Mundhir al-Hanzali al-Razi (d.277H), May Allah have mercy on him, from what has been heard from, he said, “Our MADHAB which we have chosen and adopted is to to do ITTIBA ie follow and obey the Messenger of Allah (Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam), the Sahabah and the Tabi’een and those who followed them in good. And abandoning looking into their innovations. And holding onto the MADHAB of AHL AL-ATHAR from the likes of Abi Abdullah Ahmad bin Hanbal, Ishaq ibn Ibrahim, Abi Ubaid al-Qasim bin Salam and al-Shafi’i. And holding firmly on to the Kitab and Sunnah whilst defending the Imams who followed the narrations of the Salaf. Accepting and adopting what the Imams of Ahl al-Sunnah from the different lands adopted from the likes of Malik bin Anas in Madinah, al-Awza’I in Sham, Layth ibn Sa’d in Misr, Sufyan al-Thawri and Hammad ibn Zayd in I’raq for (protection) the events (ie of trials and tribulations) that occurred which could not be found in the narrations from the Prophet (Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam), the companions and successors.” (Sharh Usul al-Ei’tiqad Ahl al-Sunnah Wal-Jama’ah (1:180 no.323)



BENEFITS

1. There was a madhab based on following and obeying ie doing Ittiba of the Messenger of Allah (Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam). This was also the Madhab of the Salaf.

2. In recent times some quarters have attempted to deny the understanding of Ittiba, however the understanding of Imam Abu Hatim al-Razi clearly evidences the understanding the factual reality of Ittiba.

3. There being a madhab of the people of narration and reports, Athar, which are the narrations and hadith therefore the Madhab of Ahl al-Hadith.

4. The aforementioned scholars were upon this way, on the madhab of Ahl al-Hadith.

5. In every affair the reports from the Messenger of Allah (Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam) and the companions and successors are looked at.

The Usul of the Madhab of Imam Ahmad is not Always the Hanbali Madhab.

Imam Ahmad said,

"Whenever I wrote a Hadith I would always act on it, so when I came across the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, that he had Hijamah done and paid Abu Taybah one Dinar, I also had Hijamah done and I paid the person who did it, one Dinar." (Tadrib Al-Rawi 2:144, Siyar A'lam al-Nabula 21:312, Al-Manaqib p.232 or Ibn Al-Jawzi)



BENEFITS

1. The Importance to seek, learn, understand and write Hadith.

2. Imam Ahmad unquestionably based his understanding on Hadith due to his writing them and preserving them and then went onto practise or actualise the Hadith in reality

3. The love of Imam Ahmad for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, his Hadith as well as making complete Ittiba of him.

4. Imam Ahmad did not hesitate to act on the Hadith, without asking how, why and when, but rather he gave the Hadith reverence and immediately practised it in the same the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did. No excuses of looking at what the scholars of the Madhab said or a single excuse, except that he acted upon the Hadith with the most succinct precision.

5. We find this methodology was in reality and in actual fact one of the core principles Imam Ahmad had adopted as part of his understanding in approaching Hadith as well as Fiqh. This was an Asal of his Madhab ie to act upon the Hadith.

How the Salaf dealt with innovators, and they were not necessarily the heads. We find an incident as mentioned by al-Uqayli, he said:

Mu'adh b. Mu'adh said:

I was with Sawwar b. Abdullah when a servant entered and said: "Zufar is at the door!" Sawwar said: "The Zufar who belongs to the school of opinion (Ahl al-Ra'yy)? Do not let him in, for he is a innovator (Mubtadi)" One of the people present said: "He is your cousin, who has been on a journey. You have not gone to him, He has come to you, It is better to let him in."

So Sawwar let him in. Zufar came in and gave us Salam, but i did not hear Zawwar reply to him. I saw Zufar holding out his hand, but Sawwar did not shake it. Sawwar did not even look at Zufar until stood up and went out. (al-Uqayli, al-Du'afa al-Kabir, 2:98)





BENEFITS

1. The Salaf and early scholars were aware and understood that people deviated and they attributed them to groups, sects and parties. In this case it was the school of al-Ra'yy.

2. The Salaf refusing to let a man enter his gathering, rebuking and labelling him to be an innovator on account of being from Ahl al-Ra'yy.

3. The people present put forward 2 arguments, 1. that he was a cousin ii. He had been on a journey and they also added you have not gone to the innovators, rather they have come to you. This is what the Salafis do today, we do not go to the innovators.

4. The Salaf refused to give him Salam despite him putting his hand out. This was perhaps due to many reasons from the way of reprimand, encouragement for him to seek the truth, a warning and so on.

5. Not only did the Salaf refuse to give him Salam, he did not even look at him. This was the way of the Salaf, compare this to the stark difference and the reality of the people of today, who not only ask to be invited by the innovators, they sit and mingle with them, enjoy their company, praise and defend them.
