O my brothers in Islam I keep seeing Hamza Yusuf the misguided Sufi and his Zaytuna institute on my news feed. I figured out why, it is because some of you are hitting the like button by mistake. I know that none of my Muslim brothers would knowingly choose misguidance. The statement of Imam Ahmad comes to mind.... This is from the book The biography of Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (p. 48-49) English translation... His son Salih reported something which confirms his shunning of the innovators, indeed, even those who had contact with them, although they were not innovators; he said: Al Hazzami came to my father and he had gone over to bin Abi Dawood, so when he came out and saw him, he closed the door in his face and went back inside. (Tabaqat Al-Hanabilah, vol 1, p.250) Abu Dawood As-Sijistani asked Ahmad bin Hanbal: If i see a man from Ahlus-Sunnah with a man from among the innovators, should i stop talking to him? He said: No, on the contrary, you should inform him that the person with whom you saw him is an innovator, then if he stops speaking to him (all well and good), but if not, consider him to be with him (i.e. he an innovator also). May Allaah تعالى guide us and forgive our sins. Ameen.
