'Ilm al Kalaam (rhetorical, argumentative speech)

Imaam ad-Dhahabee (rahimahullaah) said: "It was declared authentic that Imaam Daraqutnee said:

    ‘There is nothing I despise more than 'ilm al kalaam.’

I say (i.e. ad-Dhahabee) that the man never ever became involved in 'ilm al kalaam or argumentative speech or ever became engrossed in 'ilm al kalaam, rather he was a Salafee".
