Our Salaf: Ibn Umar–[kind treatment towards animals]

Wahb Ibn Kaysaan (rahimahullaah) narrated that Ibn Umar (radiyallaahu-anhu) saw a shepherd and some sheep in a filthy place, and he saw (another) place better than it. So he said to the shepherd: Woe to you, O shepherd! Move your sheep (to the better place); for indeed I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) saying: ”Every shepherd is responsible for his flock.” [1]

Shaikh Zaid Bin Haadi (rahimahullaah) said: This hadeeth shows the obligation of kind treatment towards those under one’s care, whether a human being or cattle…. [2]

Our Salaf: Ali Ibnul Husayn Bin Ali Bin Abee Taalib (rahimahullaah)

Ali Ibnul Husayn Bin Ali Bin Abee Taalib (rahimahullaah) used to sit with Aslam the freed slave of Umar (radiyallaahu-anhu); so a man from Quraish said to him: “You leave Quraish and sit with a slave of the clan of Adiy?” So he said: “Indeed a man sits where he benefits”

Our Salaf: Maymoon Bin Mehraan–Where is the Imaan of this woman compared to that of Maryam Bint Imraan?!

Imaam Dhahabi (rahimahullaah) reported from Baqiyyah Ibn Al-Waleed (rahimahullaah) that Abdul Malik Bin Abee An-Nu’maan Al-Jazariy (rahimahullaah) said: Maymoon Bin Mehraan narrated to us, saying: A man argued with him about Ir’jaa, so whilst (speaking), they heard a woman singing. Maymoon then said: “Where is the Imaan of this one (i.e. the woman who was signing) compared to the Imaan of Maryam Bint Imraan?” So the man left and did not respond to him.

Statements of the Salafi Scholars against ISIS [The Khawaarij of Syria and Iraq]

Imaams of Hadeeth gave precedence to defending the Religion and nothing else

Khateeb Al-Baghdaadi (rahimahullaah) said:

”There was no one amongst the people of  hadeeth who (merely) defended his father, brother or son in the knowledge of hadeeth. Ali Bin Abdillaah Ibnil Madeenee was an Imaam of Hadeeth in his era, but not a single word has been seen from him in (declaring) his father a strong (or good) narrator; rather it is opposite that has been seen.”

[3] Beware of Goldie [Abu Usama (The Man of Bidah)]–Why Was Yahyah Bin Ma’een Hated and Why Is Shaikh Rabee Slandered and Hated ?!

Muhammad Ibn Haaroon Al-Fallaas (rahimahullaah) said: If you see a man speaking ill of Yahyah Bin Ma’een, then know that he is a liar who fabricates hadeeth. He only hates him (i.e. hates Yahyah) because of what he clarifies concerning the affair of the liars.[1]

 

Question to Al-Allaamah, Shaikh Saaleh Al-Luhaydaan (may Allaah preserve him):

”Why is there so much speech about Shaikh Rabee (may Allaah preserve him) and why do they speak ill of him?”

Answer:

How excellent a man he is in his creed and jealousy for the Sunnah! And there is no doubt that those who speak against him do so because he refutes those who oppose the Sunnah.  They hate him because he refutes the Mukhaalifoon (i.e. opposers of the Sunnah and the sound methodology of Ahlus Sunnah). And perhaps the one who does not oppose (the Sunnah) envies him because he cautions against what that person does not realize.  How excellent a man in knowledge and religion! [2]
