Posted 3 months ago with 10 notes“It is befitting that a man is cautious of newly invented matters as every newly invented matter [of the Religion] is a religious innovation (bid’ah).
The Sunnah involves believing in the narrations of the Messenger of Allaah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the abandonment of opposing them with contentious arguments like how and why. Rhetoric and argumentation in affairs of the Religion, and pointless debate is considered a newly invented affair, and it can sow the seeds of doubt in the hearts and prevent them from recognizing that which is true and correct.
And true knowledge is not demonstrated by the amount of narrations that are transmitted rather true knowledge involves following and practical application.
A person should follow the Companions and their students even if they possess a limited amount of knowledge, and whoever opposes the Companions and their students is misguided even if they possess a vast amount of knowledge.”
— Abu al-Qasim Isma’eel Ibn Muhammad al-Asbahani (d.430H) [Al-Hujjah fi Bayaan al-Mahajjah (2/437-438)].
