 فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دادا دالا وياله من شراف عظيمي الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والفناء الجميل وشد الله إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهدي السبيل والشدو أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد نحن في اكتاب الكتاب الاصباح في بيان منهج السلف في التربية والإصلاح رتن باي الشيخ العلمة عبد الله ابن صالح العبيلان حفظه الله تعالى يس today we took 10 قاعدة أما 10 قواعد we took 10 principles إن شاء الله تعالى today we are going to take another 10 principles بإذن الله الباري القاعدة الحادية عشرة the eleventh قاعدة أنهم they are من أهل السنة والجماعة يعتقدون they believe أن أعظم أسباب الافتراق أهل السنة والجماعة believe that the greatest cause of disunity هو التشيع والتحزب is sectarianism cult mentality towards what والتحزب بعض المسلمين are some of the Muslims culting being fanatic إلى طائفة towards a group أو جماعة or a group أو شخص or towards a person they are fanatic towards an individual غير رسول الله that person is not the messenger وصحابته الكرام and it is not the companions it is not the companions nor is it the Prophet ﷺ so pay attention to this if you want to know what causes disunity what is it what causes disunity and brings about disunity is when people start to become groups that group are fanatic towards what their sheikh says our sheikh said this this person that they are being fanatic towards is not the messenger ﷺ nor is it the companions as a whole no, it is a particular sheikh and you tend to find that in even some people who claim the sunnah انا على عقيدة هالي سنة والجماعة I am of the belief of the Sunnah who say to you I follow the Kitab of the Sunnah they will say they are fanatic towards an individual a particular sheikh or a group of shuyuch fanatic towards them as the poet said اذا قالت حدامي فصدقوها فإن القول اما قالت حدامي like if this sheikh says something it's like it's a divine law it's like a حكم الشرع من قبال الله it's like a law that came from Allah that has to be followed and adhered to when in reality the statement of the scholars are what they require evidence and they are not evidence in and within itself so this is the belief of أهل السنة والجماعة اللهم سبحانه وتعالى سنة القرآن صورة العام I-159 إن الذين فرقوا دينهم وكانوا شيء على لست منهم في شيء إن الذين فرقوا those who divided this unity occurred between them وكانوا شيعاً pay attention to this word this word شيعاً keeps coming back in the Qur'an many times what does it actually entail and what does it actually mean in the religion there are matters which we can't differ upon are they psychedelic? but there are things we can differ on like for example in the prayer do you read the بسم الله loudly or do you not? do you place your hand on your chest or on your navel or these are differences of opinion when you go towards the suju do you put your knees down first or do you put your hands down first these are مساءل which the scholars does your wife, does a woman break your wall is a misalad that the Sahab is different amongst themselves regarding عبد الله يبني مسؤول would held the opinion that she does even if it's your wife عبد didn't is a misalad that we have difference of opinion amongst the Sahab we might see one opinion to be stronger than another opinion and that might be clear to you you might think to yourself that that opinion of يبني مسؤول is incorrect and that this opinion of يبني عبد is correct that's what you might think that's what you might believe but it doesn't allow you in any way form or shape to base love and hate on that you then become a شيعاً مساءل which are not fundamental issues that are not fundamental basing love and hate on it is what makes a person شيعاً the Prophet was told لست منهم في شيء are you with me brothers the criticism pay attention to this الجرحو والتعديل the criticism of a person whether they are an innovator or not it is from the مساءل which are اتهادية they are not from the مساءل which are أصول and fundamentals in a sense where if a scholar say so and so is an innovator or so and so is misguided this is a اتهاد from the sheikh it doesn't entail that every single person has to follow it are we all together now pay attention as ابن القيه mentions the مساءل الحموك الله the مساءل are very important that we understand it if I come up to you and I say to you I saw so and so drinking alcohol I saw so and so drinking alcohol this information if I am reliable to you and I am a person who is reliable then I what then you take that that's called the خبر because Allah said to you يا أيها الذين آمنوا إن جاءكم فاسقوا بنبئين فتبينوا so the opposite understanding is that if the person who has come to you is a reliable person the person who has come to you if it's a reliable person then take what they tell you are you with me so you take it from me يا اخوة براي آموس يا so if I tell you that he drinks alcohol what are you going to do are you going to take that from me if you seem reliable of course but what about if I say he's a فاسق this is a حكم now the information that I transmitted to you that he drank alcohol you take that from me that's a خبر Allah commanded you to take that news from me I'm informing you something what I saw because after that which is that he's a فاسق that's an احتهاد and so many people who call themselves أهل السنة الجماعة today they conflate between the two they confuse between the two خبر الحكم خبر you take that as for the ruling that the person places on this individual is an احتهاد I don't have to take it I don't have to agree with you on that are you with me brothers so if you take the opinion of that شيخ and you choose to take it and I see that the opinion of that شيخ is weak I see that his حكم here is weak I see that it's weak after my research are you with me brothers if you base love and hate on it then you fall under you're basing love and hate on مسألة which is احتهادية so you fall under this verse we find a group of people today who said to you شيخ فولان said and this person is a person of knowledge for example and he said to you he said and you say I disagree with him by saying that statement you leave the fault of أهل السنة الجماعة according to them this is a person who is bringing this unity and that's the Muslims other than the statement of Allah and his messenger can I not oppose the علماء if they get something wrong if they oppose the Qur'an and the sunnah where is the ayah ولا تتبعوا من دوني أولياء قليلا بما تذكرون I was commanded to follow unrestrictedly the Qur'an and the sunnah are you with me brothers so many people get fooled in this particular matter some of the قراءات that has come regarding this ayah is إن الذين فارقوا دينهم وكانوا شيعا لست منهم في شيئ ألمام ابن كثيرا رحمة الله he said regarding this ayah إن الذين فرقوا دينهم وكانوا الشيعا لست منهم في شيئ he said that the verse is general is generic في كل من فارق دين الله it involves everybody who goes against the religion or opposes the religion or disconnects himself from the religion وكان مخالفا له and opposes it فإن الله بعت رسوله بالهوداء الله has sent his messenger with clear guidance ودين الحق and the religion of truth ليضه له على الدين كله so it can become apparent over all religions وشرعه واحد and his legislation is one لاختلافة فيه ولافتراق there is no difference and there is no what do you call it there is no difference لاختلافة فيه there is no differences in it so this ayah shows us what brothers because some scholars they said based on the ayah that the ayah is talking about the kuffar why are you using this ayah for the مبتدعة are you with me it means that the disbelievers who went against the religion of Islam ابنو كثير said this verse is general it talks about the disbelievers and it also talks about any innovator who goes against the Qur'an or the sunnah he goes under this ayah إن الذين فرقوا دينهم وكانوا شيعا he took this opinion from who he took this opinion from who and ابنو جالير الطابري رحم الله because ابنو جالير took that so what do we take from this قاعدة what we take from this principle which is very powerful that the biggest cause why you see is this reason we find that some group of Muslims are fanatic towards a particular individual this individual is not the messenger this individual is not what this individual is not the companions and so because of that there has come there has come this unity there has come this unity I'm going to now talk about what is this what is this I'm going to now talk to you about a very summarized and abridged history of why the Muslims disunited the story and the tariq behind the disunity of the Muslims are you with me brothers and sisters what you have to remember remind yourself إن شاء الله يتعالى is when this earth was empty and it was dark and it was dull and the revelation was absent from this earth the people disunited there were different religions within Christianity there were so many different beliefs there was nothing that could bring the people together and the only one the only thing that was able to bring them together was a divine law because as you know the people's logic and the way of thinking differs as the Prophet said I created the Prophet said إن خلقته I created my slaves I created my slaves in the natural disposition وإنهم أتتهم الشياطين وإن الشيطان came to them فجتالتهم عن دينهم الشيطان came and he took them away from their religion وحرمت عليهم ما أحللت لهم وإن الشيطان حرامتهم وأمرتهم أن يشركوا بما لم أنزل به سلطانة وإن الشيطان حرامتهم معي وإنهم لا يوجد أفضل وإن الله نظر إلى أهل الأرضي الله then looked at the people of the earth فمقتهم عربهم وعجمهم إلا بقايا من أهل الكتاب وما فعلت سبحانه وتعالى هو أنه لتبقى على هذا الأرض أعجمهم الذين حرامتهم وإنهم الشيطان أحرامتهم ولكن هناك أعجمهم الذين حرامتهم لذلك أعجمهم وماذا أعجمهم حرامتهم حرامتهم وماذا أعجمهم وما فعلتي وما فعلت وما اضعsighs وما فعلت وما فعلت وما فعلت وما وقايا هم فعلت هم فعلت هم فعلت فلدتهم الذين كانوا يستخدمون القرآن ولكن لم يستخدمون السنة. هذا لم يكن ذلك التي كانوا يتعلمون. فالصحابة بدأت أن ترى الناس who only want to give importance to the Qur'an. قال الله، قال الله، قال الله. And they don't want to quote the Hadith of the Prophet. ولدالكة عمر رضي الله عنو at his time. Nothing like that could happen. And everything was strict. The Qur'an was giving importance in the Sunnah. And no one could speak outside that. One individual, by the name of سبيغ بن عسل. He tried to go to the verses which were ambiguous. آيات which were متشابهات. So he came to the companions and he said, Who knows what he means with ذاريات ذروع. Trying to what? Trying to open doubts in the hearts of the companions. So the story reached عمر رضي الله تعالى عنو. عمر ركوسته. And he asked if this man could be brought. He could be tied to the tail of a horse. Of a horse. أمر دونكي. And he could be brought to him. And so the man got tied with the camel. Sorry the horse or the donkey. And he was brought from كوفا. And he's brought to Medina. And he came to Medina عمر رضي الله عنو. He said, Who are you? And he said, I am سبيغ. He took his stick out and he beat him so much. Until his head bleeding, blood started to gush from his head. And then سبيغ said to عمر رضي الله تعالى عنو. If you want to kill me. And that's what you want to attain from this. فقطون قتل جميلة. Kill me a good kill. Stop hurting me like this. Do it nicely. Finish me off. But if what you're trying to attain from this is that you want me to repent from what I did. Then I have repented a clear cut repentance. I will never do that. عمر then said okay. عمر then commanded him to be taken. عمر commanded him from him to be taken. عمر commanded him to be taken. And to be not spoken to for one year. No one's allowed to take anything from him. And Imam Al-Dali he narrated this in his مقدمة in his Sunan. So this is how عمر's time was. But what you can see is the time of when عاليب نبي طالب came. When the time of عاليب نبي طالب came. عاليب نبي طالب couldn't be like عمر. عاليب's time things started to change. The bid'an now was getting much stronger than it was at the time of عمر. So when the time of عاليب نبي طالب one day he said to a man who has any questions. عاليب said that. And then one man stood up and he asked him just like سبيغي بن عسلين he asked an ayah from the ambiguous verses. عاليب couldn't respond to him like عمر responded. He couldn't beat him. All that عاليب could say was Why didn't you ask that which would have benefited you? So عاليب's power wasn't as strong and it wasn't as powerful as the time of عمر. The reason is because the innovation was now becoming much more stronger and it was becoming much more greater than it was at the time of عمر. The reason is because the people were becoming distanced from the نور الوحي the light of the revelation. الله says in the Quran او من كان ميتا فحيناه وجعلنا له نور يمشي به في الناس كما مثله في الظلمات ليس بخارج منها. So the people were dying out because of the fact that the revelation was missing. الله also says So the people were in that darkness but the people of حق was in the light because of the revelation which they were holding on to. The early generation went عمر's generation went and also the great noble companions died until an innovator a man of clear misguidance came and this man is the earliest person who came with his disbelief and then this became a trait and a continuous going was the man by the name of الجعبن ودرهم was a man who he blew a filthy belief into the hearts of the people. جعبن ودرهم said أن الله لم يكلم موسى تكليمه. الله didn't speak to him about Moses ولم يتخل إبراهيمة خليلا. الله didn't take him as a close friend. So this is what جعبن ودرهم said جعبن ودرهم was a man who one day a group of deviated Indians from India came to him when they came to him they asked him they asked جعبن ودرهم who do you worship and he said I worship Allah they said can you prove God's existence by your senses have you seen him? no have you smelt him? no have you tasted him? no and when he said no to all of the senses and he said no then he said we don't believe in your God so this confused him 40 days he went away and he didn't worship Allah and so what he did was he read through the books of philosophy he read through the books of the Greeks what they wrote and he brought that as an argument this is where it first creeped in logic coming in جعبن ودرهم قبحه الله he was he passed this knowledge over to who he passed this knowledge over to he passed it over to who جعبن ودرهم جعبن وصفوان but جعبن ودرهم was killed by the leader of that time خاليد من عبدالله القثري خاليد من عبدالله القثري called the people and he said to the people oh people today is a day of عيد all of you are going to go and you are going to slaughter your أضحية as for I I am going to slaughter جعبن ودرهم so they said he stood up and he is killed جعبن ودرهم this is the he said ضحه تقبل الله ضحياكم go and slaughter may Allah accept your slaughter from you فإني مضحهم بالجعبن ودرهم for verily I am going to kill جعبن ودرهم because he has claimed that Allah did not speak to Musa he has claimed that Allah has not spoken to Musa ولم يتخل إبراهيمة خليلة تعال الله عن ما يقول جعبن ودرهم كبيرة then he left and he is slaughtered and he killed him جعبن ودرهم he stood up and saw what was done to his teacher so this he started to become silent and this is one thing that you have to realize the innovators are like as Imam Al-Baharir رحمه الله they are like scorpions they bury their heads into the floor and when they see they think that at that particular moment that the power has been taken from them the strength has been taken away from them they are no longer strong anymore what do they do they become quiet they pretend that they are upon the sunnah they are with the people of the sunnah they will walk with the people of the sunnah when they feel like okay now we've got power they are listening to us so what does the scorpion do he buries his head into the sand and he keeps his tail outside whenever opportunity he gets he kills and he puts his venom inside the individual and that's how they are like so what happened was they went quiet جعبن وصفوان he was educating his students teaching them until until the first the third hundred went the first three hundred went and the leadership was taken by a leader by the name of المأمون المأمون came and he took over مأمون was an individual who liked different sciences he loved different knowledges and one of the knowledges that he started to like was philosophy so he liked to look into logic like to look into the Greek لوجن's quotes and things that they said so he was the first person who asked بتعريب كتب اليونان he said can the books of the Greek logins be translated into Arabic so he was the first person who got the books from the Arabic from the Greek translated into the Arabic language and the transcribers and the translators started to work and who would those translators be the جهمية جهمية وصفوان they are the ones who are do you really want it to be translated where here we're ready they wrote everything they already wrote look how they were hiding it they wrote everything that they had together and the notes that they put together and they gave it to him they started to whisper into his ear and they started to talk to him about it so what did he do he started to allow the جهمية وصفوان to spread in the Muslim world and he commanded the people to follow this belief and he punished the people based on it but he didn't live for too long about moon who came the one after him his successor came when his successor came he did not just stick to the concept of spreading it and allowing it to spread what he did was he actually questioned everybody individually what their belief was regarding this he was testing the people on it he was forcing this belief down people's throats and from the people who he tried to he tried to force it down their throats was who الإمام أحمد بن حبل إمام أهل السنة والجماعب so he went to him and he tried to convince him and convince إمام أحمد to take it but إمام أحمد رحم الله chose not to and because of it أحمد was beaten and whipped to the extent مرتصم used to come from his palace and he would come to the prison and he would lash أحمد himself he wouldn't give it to anybody else he would do it himself the جهمية were at the back of the scene they were the ones running everything so what happened at that time the people started to toss the textual evidences and push the evidences aside تقديم الأراء والرغول the عقل the logic the rationality the mind was given so much importance and the sunnah was being fought against الإمام أحمد at his time some of the some of the self died because of this from them was killed نعيم ابن حماد الخزاعي and others they were killed they got killed in this fitna they chose not to accept this deviant ideology that the leader was pushing Allah made them and some of them were not beaten but they were promised that their money will be stopped because they used to be paid from and they said you can keep your money and some of them died from hunger and lack of money نعيم so this is my beloved brothers and sisters when we are so eager on these concepts of عقيدة we need to realize that a people died for it a people were bashed and they were beaten to the pole for somebody to come today and say these issues are trivial issues difference of opinions and make it look like it's nothing serious when lies when people were أحمد and others الإمام أحمد suffered severely رحمه الله رحمة واسعة others like الإمام الموايطي all of these people this belief heard them so much because of it but guess what الله سبحانه وتعالى he tests هذا من سنة لله يحسب الإنسان أن يترك سودة أحسب الناس أن يترك وأن يقول أامنة وهم لا يفتنوا ولقد فتنوا الذين من قبلهم فليعلمن الله والذين صدقوا وليعلمن الكاذبين يو إيمان has to be tested you can't say I'm a believer I'm a believer and then okay you passed the test let's see if it's true okay and the believer is like gold when you burn gold it shines it glows even more it becomes more brighter the believer is like that gold the more he goes through hardship and he burns in the trials and tribulations the more he shines the more his إيمان comes out and that's what أحمد رحم الله أحمد through this fitna when did he attain إمام الأهل السنة والجماعة that's what he attained from that fitna look at him today I'll tell you a story إمام مدهب رحم الله that Ahmad when he came out from prison and Imam Ahmad when he came out of prison he became like the son does anyone not know the son Ahmad's story and Ahmad's news reached the east and the west that one time you know بقية أبنى مخلد is من أمت الحريث الكبار and he had the biggest musnad but his musnads got lost and he came from andulus and he went directly to him but at the time بقية أبنى مخلد came to Ahmad Ahmad was in house prison but بقية showed love for حديث إمام أحمد and Imam Ahmad loved him when he saw him that's بقية because Ahmad said I'm not allowed to teach I'm not allowed to talk to anybody the leader has prevented me from it the leader who is telling us the Quran is مخلوق Ahmad is still obeying him he's not bringing about chaos he's not rebelling against the leader he's saying I can't teach he said look I'll do something بقية says this I walk to your house like an old man and knock on the door and you just give me one حديث a day I'll listen just one حديث Ahmad just one حديث the point here is that بقية أبنى مخلد got sick one day and wasn't able to come to Ahmad's gathering and Ahmad Ahmad asked the students this was after Ahmad was given the rights and his rights was brought back for him and the house prison was taken off so he said where's بقية I haven't seen him today because he's sick so I'm going to visit him Ahmad went and visited بقية بقية had a back in those times just like today when a person comes to the city that he doesn't his own home town what happens he has to what it's like a hotel you go to a hotel because you don't have nobody in that city you go to for example Canada generally you're just going to get yourself a hotel so what happened was that this little hotel place Ahmad went and visited him the owner of the hotel we'll call it a hotel right now he didn't know بقية at all and who he was but what he saw was Ahmad outside the hotel and he saw a Ahmad come out everybody's going to come out with Ahmad it was a stampede every single the whole place was the whole hotel was crowded and he said he's sticking the leader of the Muslims is here this is not a normal stampede so he said who's here he kissed Ahmad he said how's everything and he said who did he come for and he said he lives here and he's sick so he had him Ahmad gave بقية to him and he left him بقية said ever since that day the owner of the hotel used to look after him take care of him feed him you know the money and the funds he used to reduce it from him what I'm trying to get from that story is Ahmad became a leader Ahmad because of people on it but why did he gain it as Allah said in the Quran يهدون بأمرنا لما صبروا وكانوا بآياتنا يؤينون أحمد became an Imam ومن دل إيمام أحمد became an Imam ألمام أحمد became an Imam when he truly showed patience and certainty
