The position of the Salaf in refuting Ahl al-Bidʿah, a lecture by Shaykh Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Wahid (hafidhahullāh)

  • The Prophet ﷺ warned of a time when bidʿah and misguidance would spread
  • The Companions’ severity towards innovators, and loving and hating for the sake of Allāh
  • Good intentions do not excuse opposing the Sunnah
  • The early Salaf forbade sitting with the people of desires and commanded sticking to the Jamāʿah
  • Imām Mālik and the imāms warned against the people of innovation by name, as sincere advice
