Al-Layth Ibn Sa'd & al-Shafi'ee On Seeing An Innovator

Postby Shehzad Sattar » Thu Aug 25, 2016 9:48 pm

Al-Layth Ibn Sa'd said:
"If I were to see an innovator walking on water I would still not accept him".

So al-Shafi'i said:
"Al-Layth did not go far enough. If I were to see an innovator walk on air I would not accept him".

Abu Nu'aym in al-Hilyah, 9 /116
The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Make things easy and do not make things difficult. Give glad tidings and do not repel people..”
