SO YOU SHOULD FOLLOW THE SALAF TO SEND CURSE ON INNOVATORS. Here is a story in relation to the Jahmiyaah, which al-Khateebul-Baghdaadiyy narrated in his Taareekh Baghdaad on the sixty sixth page of the seventh volume, under the biography of Bishr al-Mirisee the Jahmee. He narrated, “When Bishr al-Mireesiyy died, no one from the people of knowledge or the Sunnah attended his funeral prayer except Ubayd Ash-Shawniziyy. So when he returned from the funeral of Al-Mireesiyy the people of Sunnah confronted him. They said, O’ enemy of ALLAAH! You claim to be a person of Sunnah and Jamaa’ah while you attend the funeral of al-Mireesiyy?” He replied, “Give me respite until that I can inform you [to know of my excuse]. I did not attend his funeral prayer hoping for the reward that is gained for attending the funeral prayers. When he was placed in his grave I stood in the line and I said, “O ALLAAH! This servant of yours did not believe in seeing you in the hereafter, so – O’ ALLAAH! block him from seeing your face on the day when the believers will see it. O ALLAAH! This servant of yours did not believe in the punishment of the grave, so – O’ALLAAH, punish him today in his grave with a punishment that no one from the creation has been punished with before. O ALLAAH! This servant of yours denied the scales, so – O ALLAAH, make his scale [of good deeds] light on the Day of Judgment. O ALLAAH! This servant of yours denied the Intercession, So – O ALLAAH, do not allow any of your servants to intercede for him on the Day of Judgment.” So they held their peace and laughed.” Shaykh Abdul Muhsin al-Abbaad laughs… and me too dey laugh
