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 />
