It is not from the Sunnah, neither is it Salafiyyah

Reference: http://www.tasfiatarbia.org/vb/showthread.php?p=53107 [1]

 

* It is not from the Sunnah:

Rejoicing at the mistakes of your brothers, vilifying them and then causing problems for them. Rather Allaah is Hayyiy (One who does not like to expose the sins) and He is Sitteer (One who Conceals) and He loves [for the sins of people] to be concealed.

 Indeed Allaah is gentle and loves gentleness in all the affair

Rather I fear that this will be from showing delight [at the misfortune] of your brother

Did you not hear the wise statement: “Do not show delight [at the sins] your brother, such that Allaah has Mercy upon him and afflicts you.”

 

* It is not from the Sunnah:

Ghluww (exaggeration) in loving certain personalities – whatever their status may be. Do you not see the Messenger (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) – and he is the Messenger – it is Islamically legislated to love him, yet despite this he forbade from exaggerating [in his love]. He (sal aallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

Do not praise me as the Christians praised the son of Maryam. Indeed, I am a Worshipper of Allaah. So say, ‘the Worshipper of Allah and His Messenger.

Ibn Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, “the Messenger of Allaah said on the morning of al-Aqabah whilst he was riding his animal:

Collect some small pebbles for me

So I collected small pebbles for him which were like chickpeas and when I placed them in his palm, he said:

[Only use] the likes of these [when stoning the Pillar of ‘Aqabah], O people. Beware of exaggerating in the religion. Those who came before you were only destroyed due to exaggerating in the religion. [2]

Ghuluww is to exaggerate in something and being severe regarding it by exceeding its limits. From its meanings is going too deep into something. [3]

… So the Hadeeth is clear in prohibiting Ghuluww in the religion. The correct methodology of the religion and its path is: tolerance, ease and leaving off harshness – within the boundaries that are set by the Sharee’ah.

In the Hadeeth are other benefits: it focuses on a very dangerous matter: Ghuluww in the religion is from the causes of the destruction of the nations that came before us, so be moderate, be moderate.

Also [from the benefits of this Hadeeth] is the great importance of commanding [goodness] and forbidding [evil]. From the greatness of both of these matters is leaving off Ghuluww regarding them.

 

* It is not from the Sunnah:

Using an approach of insults, disgrace and curses in refutations.

Never was the Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) lewd, obscene or noisy in the market places

Allaah (the Blessed and Most High) said,
{So by mercy from Allah , [O Muhammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah . Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him]} [03:159]

 

* It is not from the Sunnah:

To have disregard for the people, to be suspicious of them, cause trouble and harass them. Rather the Muslim should possess the characteristics of the ‘Slaves of the Merciful.’

He should not [put others down] in order to seek revenge for himself if he is harassed or troubled by others. Allaah (the Blessed and Most High) said,

{The servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace} [25:63]

 

* It is not from the Sunnah:

Insulting people’s lineage, being haughty by using nicknames, broadcasting [people’s sins of] evil, being proud of being correct, so it is said: So and So erred in this, and so and so is such.

Rather every Muslim should pay attention to goodness and calling people to it, asking Allaah for Guidance, goodness and being correct.

 

* It is not from the Manhaj of the Salaf:

That at every instance, comment and situation you announce your love for a particular person from the Imaams of the Sunnah.

We do not know this to be from their way. Allaah is the One who give Tawfeeq.

 

* It is not from the Manhaj of the Salaf:

That you insult the People of Innovation and the People of Falsehood in every instance and situation; that you vilify them without any reason justifying it.

Rather the Sunnah is:

Whoever amongst you sees a person who has been afflicted, then say: All praise is for Allaah who pardoned me from what he tested you with, and preferred me over many of His creation.”

[One who says this] will not afflicted by the same test. Even in this Du’a, you should not raise your voice [so the one who has been afflicted] hears you. This Du’aa includes a test in ones body and also ones creed.

ليس من السنة ، ليس من منهج السلف

المرجع: من الصفحة الرسمية للشيخ بالفيس بوك http://www.tasfiatarbia.org/vb/showthread.php?p=53107

ليس من السنة :

الفرح بأخطاء إخوانك والتشنيع عليهم، والتشغيب عليهم، بل الله حيي ستير يحب الستر
و”إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الْأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ». .. بل إني أخشى أن يكون هذا من الشماتة بأخيك…
ألم تسمع في الحكمة : “لا تظهر الشماتة لأخيك فيرحمه الله و يبتليك”.

ليس من السنة :

الغلو في محبة الأشخاص مهما كان محله، ألا ترى أن الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو رسول ومحبته مطلوبة شرعاً، ومع ذلك نهانا عن الغلو فيه،فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم:

«لا تطروني كما أطرت النصارى عيسى ابن مريم، إنما أنا عبد لله، فقولوا: عبد الله ورسوله».

عن ابْن عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَدَاةَ الْعَقَبَةِ وَهُوَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ: “هَاتِ الْقُطْ لِي فَلَقَطْتُ لَهُ حَصَيَاتٍ هُنَّ حَصَى الْخَذْفِ فَلَمَّا وَضَعْتُهُنَّ فِي يَدِهِ قَالَ: بِأَمْثَالِ هَؤُلَاءِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْغُلُوَّ فِي الدِّينِ فَإِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ الْغُلُوُّ فِي الدِّينِ”

(أخرجه أحمد في المسند (الرسالة 3/ 351، تحت رقم 1851)، والنسائي في كتاب مناسك الحج، باب التقاط الحصى، حديث رقم (3057)، وابن ماجه في كتاب المناسك، باب قدر حصى الرمي حديث رقم (3029)، وابن خزيمة (4/ 274، تحت رقم 2867)، وابن حبان (الإحسان (9/ 183، تحت رقم 3871) والحاكم (1/ 466). والحديث صححه ابن خزيمة وابن حبان والحاكم، وصحح إسناده محققو مسند أحمد ومحقق الإحسان).

الْغُلُوّ َهُوَ الْمُبَالَغَة فِي الشَّيْء وَالتَّشْدِيد فِيهِ بِتَجَاوُزِ الْحَدّ وَفِيهِ مَعْنَى التَّعَمُّق

يُقَال: غَلَا فِي الشَّيْء يَغْلُو غُلُوًّا وَغَلَا السِّعْر يَغْلُو غَلَاء إِذَا جَاوَزَ الْعَادَة, وَالسَّهْم يَغْلُو غَلْوًا بِفَتْحِ ثُمَّ سُكُون إِذَا بَلَغَ غَايَة مَا يُرْمَى.

والحديث نص صريح في النهي عن الغلو في الدين، فمنهاج الدين وسبيله هو السماحة والتيسيروترك التشدد، في حدود ما جاء في الشرع.

ومن فوائد الحديث تنبيهه على قضية خطيرة جداً، وهي أن الغلو في الدين من أسباب هلاك الأمم قبلنا، فالقصد القصد. وتعظيم الأمر والنهي من الدين، ومن التعظيم لهما ترك الغلو فيهما.

ليس من السنة :

استعمال اسلوب الشتائم والعيارة والسباب في الردود فلم يكن صلى الله عليه وسلم : “لم يكن فاحشا ولا متفحشا ولا صخابا في الأسواق”.

وقال الله تبارك وتعالى: {فَبِمَا رَحْمَةٍ مِّنَ اللّهِ لِنتَ لَهُمْ وَلَوْ كُنتَ فَظّاً غَلِيظَ الْقَلْبِ لاَنفَضُّواْ مِنْ حَوْلِكَ فَاعْفُ

عَنْهُمْ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِي الأَمْرِ فَإِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّهِ إِنَّ اللّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ }آل عمران159.

ليس من السنة :

الاستهتار بالناس وإساءة الظن بهم، والتشغيب عليهم، والتحرش بهم، على المسلم أن يتحلى بصفات عباد الرحمن، فلا ينتصر لنفسه إذا ما تحرش به أحد، أو شغب عليه أحد قال الله تبارك وتعالى:

{وَعِبَادُ الرَّحْمَنِ الَّذِينَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ هَوْناً وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ الْجَاهِلُونَ قَالُوا سَلَاماً }الفرقان63

ليس من السنة :

الطعن في الأنساب، والتفاخر بالألقاب، وإشاعة المنكر، والتفاخر بالصواب، فيقال: فلان أخطأ في كذا وفلان كذا، بل المسلم عليه أن يحرص على الخير ويدعو الناس إليه، ويسأل الله الهدى والرشاد والسداد.

ليس من منهج السلف :

أن تعلن حبك لفلان من أئمة السنة في كل محل وفي كل تعليق وفي كل مناسبة. فلا نعلم هذا من طريقتهم، والله الموفق.

ليس من منهج السلف :

أن تسب أهل البدع وأهل الباطل في كل مناسبة وتشنع عليهم بغير سبب يسوغ ذلك، بل السنة ” من رأى مبتلى فقال: الحمد لله الذي عافاني مما ابتلاك به وفضلني على كثير ممن خلق تفضيلا لم يصبه ذلك البلاء “. وحتى هذا الدعاء لا ترفع صوتك به لتسمعه. وهو يشمل الابتلاء البدني والعقدي.
