In another Hadeeth Rasulullah (S<strong>al</strong>l<strong>al</strong>lahu Alayhi Was<strong>al</strong>lam) said: “The magians of<br />

this Ummat are those people who deny the doctrine of FATE. Whosoever of them<br />

should die, do not join in their funer<strong>al</strong> prayers, and whosoever of them should f<strong>al</strong>l ill,<br />

do not visit them to inquire of their he<strong>al</strong>th. These are of the congregation of Dajj<strong>al</strong><br />

(the Anti-Christ). Allah will join them with the party of Dajj<strong>al</strong>.”<br />

Yahya bin Ya’mar (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu) says: “Humaid and myself went for the Holy<br />

Pilgrimage or Umrah. We desired to meet any of the Sahabah (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhum) of<br />

Rasulullah (S<strong>al</strong>i<strong>al</strong>lahu Alayhi Was<strong>al</strong>lam) to ask about the Qadiriya sect. By chance<br />

we happened to meet Sayyidina Abdullah bin Umar (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu) I said to him:<br />

‘In our loc<strong>al</strong>ity a new group have arisen who do much research into matters of<br />

knowledge. They recite the Quran but deny the doctrine of fate (predestination)’.”<br />

Sayyidina Ibn Umar (Rafji<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu) said: “Tell those people that I am free of them<br />

and they are free of me.’’ (Abu Dawood)<br />

Apart from these there are many other Ahaadeeth reported about those people.<br />

Abu Bakr Farsi (Rahmatullah Alayh) recorded in his book - Kitbul-Ijma that<br />

whosoever makes any f<strong>al</strong>se accusation against Rasulullah (S<strong>al</strong>l<strong>al</strong>lahu Alayhi<br />

Was<strong>al</strong>lam) is, by the gener<strong>al</strong> consensus of <strong>al</strong>l the Ulema, a kaafir. (Fat-hul-bari).<br />

It is reported in Bukhari that a party of atheists (zindeeq) were brought into the<br />

presence of Sayyidina Au (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu). Au (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu) had them burnt to<br />

death. Sayyidina Abdullah bin Abbas (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu) heard of this and said: “I<br />

would not have had then burnt. I would have beheaded them.” All these above<br />

mentioned cases concern differing on principles. Hence the dire consequences.<br />

Discussion on the mutashabihaat verses of the Quran is prohibited. These are those<br />

ambiguous and extremely difficult verses about which we are unsure as to their<br />

correct meaning, the true knowledge of which is only with Allah. Sabeegh bin Asl<br />

Iraqi (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu), a resident of Basra was very fond of discussing these<br />

mutashabihaat. When he visited Egypt he <strong>al</strong>so started discussing these verses with the<br />

Muslims there. The governor of Egypt, Amr bin-<strong>al</strong>-Aas, wrote a letter to Sayyidina<br />

Umar (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu) reporting the matter to him. Umar (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu) replied<br />

by writing a letter wherein he asked that Sabeegh (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu) be sent to him<br />

immediately. When he came to Madina, Umar (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu) asked him: “Who<br />

are you?”<br />

He replied: “I am Allah’s servant, Sabeegh.”<br />

Umar (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu) said: “And I am Allah’s servant, Umar.”<br />

Then Umar (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu) began to strike him with canes using fresh ones one<br />

after another, until his whole body was smeared with blood. Then he left him. As<br />

soon as his wounds started to he<strong>al</strong>, he again started to thrash him until he was again<br />

covered in blood. Then Sabeegh (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu) cried out: “Umar, if you had<br />

decided to kill me, please do so with ease. And if your aim is to cure me of the illness<br />
