Know that our madhdhab is but the concensus of the Ahl ul-Ilm, As.haabul-Athar, Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah, from amongst among those in the presence of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) up until this day of ours. And know that your madhhab is in opposition to ours, rather, your mode of conduct and despicable behaviour, is but the madhdhab of Ahl ul-Bid’ah – whose love and hate is for other than Allaah's Messengers and for other than the Companions.

And here is the evidence:

Ibn al-Qayyim says in his book Haadi ul-Arwaah ilaa Bilaad il-Afraah:

"And we shall quote their concensus (i.e. that of the Salaf) just as Harb, the companion of Imaam Ahmad, has quoted from them in his own wording in his well known al-Masaa’il. He said: "This is the madhhab of the People of Knowledge, the Ashaabul-Athar (People of the Narrations), Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah, those who stick fast to it [Ahl us-Sunnah] and who seek to guide themselves by [them i.e. the Ahl us-Sunnah] from among those in the presence of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) up until this day of ours. And I met whomever I met from among the Scholars of the people of Hijaaz and Shaam and others besides them. Whoever differs with and opposes a single matter from the madhaahib [of these People of Knowledge] or contests and defames them or criticises the one who speaks [by what they speak with], then he is a mukhaalif (opposer), a mubtadi’ (an innovator) and one who has left the Jamaa’ah, who has ceased to be upon the manhaj of the Sunnah and the Path of Truth.

And this [i.e. the path of the People of Knowledge] is the madhhab of Ahmad, Ishaaq bin Ibraaheem, Abdullaah bin Zubair al-Humaidee, Sa’eed bin Mansoor and others besides them amongst those with whom we have sat and taken knowledge from…" And then he lists the points of their aqeedah, amongst them: "…And the mentioning of the good qualities and deeds of the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) and refraining from mentioning their shortcomings and mistakes, those which occurred between them. Whoever reviles the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam), or a single one amongst them, or reduces [their worth and status] or insults them or exposes their faults or criticises a single one amongst them then he is a mubtadi’ (an innovator), a raafidee (an extreme shi’ite), a khabeeth (vile and repugnant) and a mukhaalif (an opposer) and Allaah will not accept from him any of his efforts nor his fair dealings. Rather loving them is a sunnah, supplicating for them is nearness (Allaah), taking them as a model for guidance is a means (of nearness to Allaah) and accepting and taking from their narrations is an excellence."

Ibn al-Qayyim referred here, to Harb bin Ismaa’eel al-Kirmaanee (one of the companions of Imaam Ahmad) who summarised the creed of the Ahl us-Sunnah. This creed is contained in the book: "Masaa’il Harb bin Ismaa’eel al-Kirmaanee an il-Imaam Ahmad", regarding which adh-Dhahabee (d. 748H) said: "It is one of the most precious of the books of the Hanaabilah."

And know that the only methodology that unites all of the groups of bid'ah into a single pot is the methodology of Sayyid Qutb.  For how many of the groups of innovation subscribe to Qutubism and its teachings? So you find amongst the Qutubiyyah one who is a Jahmi, another a Sufi, another an Ash'ari, another a Muqallid, another a Mu'tazili, another an Aqlaani, another an outright Khariji - and then another who has the creed of the Salaf in the issues of Asmaa was-Sifaat and thinks he can remain upon the way of the Salaf by choosing the methodology of Qutubism. Know that even the Iranian Rafidis print the books of Sayyid Qutb - which but call for revolutions and rebellions, assassinations and coups - and they gave them to Hikmatyar to be distributed amongst his Jamaa'ah in order to give it strength and numbers - the very Jamaa'ah that assassinated the Salafi Shaikh Jameel ur-Rahmaan and put an end to the Islamic state he set up, built upon Tawheed, with the Hudood and other than that. This Rafidi and his teachings - and your love and hate for his sake - is one that unites you with all the groups of Bid'ah in your hatred and your battle against Ahl us-Sunnah, Ahl ul-Hadeeth wal-Athar and your labelling them with the most despicable of titles.

And from Allaah is the refuge.
