IMAAM AL-AWZAA'EE RAHIMEHULLAH:
THE RULING ON THE ONE WHO DISLIKES/FORBIDS THE
REFUTATION OF AHL-UL-BID'AH!
It is reported from al-'Abbaas ibn-ul-Waleed that
'Uqbah said: I was once with Arta'ah ibn-ul-Mundhir when one of the people in
the gathering said, "What do you say about a man who sits with the
followers of the Sunnah and mixes with them, but when the followers of Bid'ah
are mentioned he says, 'Spare us from mentioning them, do not talk about
them.'" Arta'ah said, "He is one of them, do not let him confuse you
about his condition." I felt this was strange so i went to al-Awzaa'ee (an
Imaam of the Salaf) - and he used to clarify these matters when they came to
him. He (al-Awzaa'ee) said: "Arta'ah is right, the matter is as he said;
this person forbids (or dislikes) talking about (Ahl-ul-Bid'ah), so how can
(people) be on guard against them if they are not exposed?"
