This is how far our Salaf disassociated themselves from ahlul bidah!

قال أبو الجوزاء

لِأَنْ أجالس الخنازير أحب إِلَيَّ من أن أجالس أحدا من أهل الأهواء

Abul Jawzaa (rahimahullaah) said:

That I should sit with pigs is more beloved to me than that I should sit with anyone from the people of desires (i.e. ahlul bidah)
