Shaikh Salih al-Fawzan Hafizahullah was asked,

Question: When does someone who hates the Companions become a disbeliever with major disbelief?

Answer: Whoever hates the Companions is a disbeliever, since he only hates the Companions because of his hatred for the Messenger ﷺ. And they will never have Iman in their hearts due to the hatred they have for the Messenger ﷺ.

(al-Ijabat al-Muhimmah fil Mushakil al-Mulammah (1/152)

Historical trouble makers of kufan origin under the horrible garb of fanataical madhabism aimed to sow seeds of doubt against Imam ash-Shafi'i by diminishing his status. Hanafis put the doubt out there (paraphrased) "If ash-Shafi' was so good, why didn't al-Bukhari transmit from him?". Perhaps an attempt of "damage limitation" because al-Bukhari had shunned an "Imam"

Imam al-Khatib al-Baghdadi leapt to Imam ash-Shafi'i's defence and authored a short but succinct reply to the Hanafis, titled,


الجزء فيه مسألة الاحتجاج بالشافعي فيما انتقد اليه والرد على الطاعنين بعظم جهلِهِم عليه

"A Parchment on the issue of using ash-Shafi'i as evidence for matters he was criticised for and a Refutation of those who criticise him due to their great ignorance of him"

Imam al-Khatib thoroughly answers the doubts and then brings the chapter heading

"The statement of ash-Shafi'i: If you find that my statement/view opposes the Sunnah, then take the Sunnah"

"al-Rab'i said I heard ash-Shafi'i say, if you find the Sunnah of Allah's Messenger ﷺ, and my statement/view opposes it, then take the Sunnah and abandon my statement/view because my view is the what the Sunnah says."

Al-Khatib concludes from this,

"He said this to venerate and revere the hadith and to encourage holding onto the Sunnah."

Shaykh Nasir al-Din al-Albani on American Elections:

"All of them walk upon one political way, it is only the faces that change... Due to this, it is foolish that we rejoice when Bush leaves and someone else takes his place."

Silsilah al-Huda wa al-Nur, cassette 672.

The difference is clear, Ahlus Sunnah and the early Salaf focused (and the Salafi way is) on teaching or educating, preserving and spreading Islamic knowledge with the aim of rectifying and nurturing society on the clear guidance of the Quran and Sunnah. This is teaching and spreading the correct Aqidah and Manhaj to bring change in the minds and actions of Muslims, which can be summarised as at-Tasfiyyah wat-Tarbiyyab. This is essentially the methodology of the prophets in calling to Allah and his Tawhid. This is a brief synopsis of Dawah Salafiyyah.

Generally, Early Hanafism to current day Hanafism, it's various strands from Deobandis, Barelwis, Jamat Islami (per it's origin and not membership), Parwezis, Farahi, Islahi across the spectrum to Qadiyanism, all share the methodology of seeking change through political agitation, revolt, rebellion and revolution and fighting.

And if this includes some people who say they are Ahlul Hadith, like members of Jamiat Ahlul Hadith in various countries, then they are upon the same methodology as the groups and parties mentioned. We are not hizbis to any group or Jamiat.

The preset: early and later Hanafism overlaps khariji and murji thoughts.

The case: The point is, a leading Deobandi Hanafi figure Mawlana Abdul Qayyum Haqqani endorses this ideology and thought through the following *books* (and he was not the only one to develop these theories)

* Having an Ideological revolution to Establish the Shariah

* Islamic Revolution

* Islamic Politics

* Imam A'zams Thoughts on Revolution and Politics

Just a stark difference to the Salafi Methodology

* Kitab as-Sunnah
* Usul as Sunnah
* Sharh as Sunnah of Muzani and al-Barbahari
* kitab at-Tawhid
* al-Iman
* Sarih as-Sunnah
* al-Ibanah
* ash-Shari'ah

Reviving a Sunnah:
Choosing Thursdays to Travel

Kab b. Malik RadhiAllahu Anhu used to say, when Allah's Messenger ﷺ would set out for a journey it would not be except only on Thursdays." (al-Bukhari no.2949)

Kab b. Malik RadhiAllahu Anhu said, The Prophet ﷺ set out on Thursday for Ghazwa Tabuk and he used to prefer/like to travel on Thursdays.

(al-Bukhari no.2950)

By now you must have observed the Internet trend of some groups attacking Salafis with a deluge of slurs consisting of the term 'Madkhali'. This is of course expected from the followers of Ikhwan al-Muslimin and the opportunist who adhere to the Sururi ideology.

It's worse when the culprits are deobandis, I mean bro come on, you're maturidis who venerate graves and the dead believing its permissible to ask the dead for help while heavily venturing into ""beastiality fiqh"". It does not suit deobandis and barelwis hopping onto this bandwagon.

Here is an excerpt between the H & M franchise (Hayati & Mamati) deobandi factions.

The Mamati Muhammad Amir, the rector of Madrassah Dhiya al-Ulum of Sarghoda (Pakistan) from 1969 to his introduction to the 3 volume book Nida-e-Haq (titled, Al-Kitab al-Mustur) refuting the Hayatis, he says

"There was little need to refute the book Taskin, since this work is a disgrace to *Deobandiyyat*. How will the general people know the subliminal messages in the numerous references and what has been hidden therein. So, (this book was written) to expose his secrets subliminal messages, the Islamic academic mistakes of the author of Taskin, his deception, his mistakes in his translation of the Qur’an, general translation, other tadlis and talbis, hiding his distortions etc all in order to prevent the creation of Allah and future generations from perishing."

(Nida-e-Haq (1/14)

The author of taskin is the well known deobandi scholar Sarfraz Khan Safdar. A highly respected authority in deobandi circles.

The author of Nida-e-Haq, Muhammad Hussain Niyalwi wrote a staggering 1500 pages over 3 volumes.

Deobandis have been fighting for decades and they continue today

Abdul Qahir al-Baghdadi (d.429H) said,

"The Khawarij deny the validity of Ijma and the legilsated Sunnah. They claim nothing constitutes evidence in the rulings of the Shari'ah except what is from the Qur’an (Parvezis, hadith rejectors, Ghamdi et al). And so therefore, they denied stoning (rajm) (Mawdudi & co) and wiping over the leather socks because they are not mentioned in the Qur’an."

(Usul ud-Din p.34)

Point of Benefit
The various strands of hadith rejectors, from Parvezis, Ghamidi fanatics, Chakralwi, Mashriqi, jairajpuri, Farahi and others share the same theological principles as the Khawarij.

And that these modern groups, sects and ideologies are but current manifestations of condemned early Muslim sects.

Imam Fudayl b. Iyadh said,

"Indeed Allah's Angels search for gatherings of His remembrance, so look at who you sit with. So, be sure not to sit with the people of innovation because Allah will not look at you. The sign of hypocrisy is a person standing and sitting (associating) with an innovator."

(at-Tuyuriyyat 2/318 no.258), al-Lalaka'i, Sharh Usul I'tiqad (1/138), Tarikh Dimashq (48/397), al-Hilyah (8/104). It was graded authentic by the muhaqqiqs of at-Tuyuriyyat.

Jalsah Istraha – Resting After the Second Prostration in the First and Third Rakah

“…then he raised his head, bent his left foot and sat on it so that every bone returned to its place properly…” (Abu Dawud (no.730), at-Tirmidhi (no.304), Ibn Majah (no.1061)

Imam at-Tirmidhi mentions after the hadith, “The hadith is Hasan Sahih. Some of the people of knowledge act on this and this is the view of Ishaq and some of our companions (Ba’du Ashabina)” (at-Tirmidhi no.287)

Shaikh Muhammad b. Ali b. Adam Musa al-Ityubi traced the hadith to the following books of hadith, al-Bukhari (1/208), Abu Dawud (no.844), Nasa’i (2/234) (al-Mujtaba), (no.651) (al-Kubra), Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah (no.686), Sharh Mushkil Athar (no’s 6069, 6070), Sahih Ibn Hibban (no.1934), al-Bayhaqi in al-Kubra (no.2/132) and al-Baghawi in Sharh as-Sunnah (no.668). (Ittihaf at-Talib al-Ahwadhi Bi-Sharh Jam’i al-Imam at-Tirmidhi (5/428-429)

BENEFIT

Shaikh Muhammad b. Ali b. Adam Musa al-Ityubi said,

*“His saying “Ashabana” means the Ahlul Hadith. My clarification has preceded in the introduction of this explanation is that when at-Tirmidhi says “Ashabana” he intends and means Ashabul Hadith – The People of Hadith, so be informed! (Ittihaf at-Talib al-Ahwadhi (5/429)*

Did Shaykh Irshad al-Haq Athari Distort as-Samarqandi’s words on Raf al-Yadayn?

https://www.salafiri.com/did-shaykh-irshad-al-haq-athari-distort-as-samarqandis-words-on-raf-al-yadayn/

..... Let us take a moment here and ask, was it not as-Samarqandi’s work which mentioned the following while transmitting from Ibn Abbas RadhiAllahu Anhuma,

There will be light after the Prophet and his kunyah will be Abu Hanifah and he will revive the religion of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam. Anas RadhiAllahu Anhu said Allah’s Messenger Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam said, there will be a man at the end of times with the kunyah Abu Hanifah who will revive the religion of Allah and my sunnah… (an-Nawazil (p.378) (Hyderabad: Matba’a Shams al-Islamiyyah, 1355H/1936).
