Salafiyyah is not a Hizbi (partisan) Madhhab - QSEP

There has not appeared any disorder/deficiency in the principle (of
those who follow/ascribe themselves to the Salaf), and their principle
is not marred by confusion. It is the established fundamental, the clear
way and the straight path. The four Imams have followed it in most of
their understanding (of the Deen) —May Allah have Mercy upon them
and reward them abundantly.
3. Whatever was not acted upon by the esteemed Sahabah - with
regards to acts of worship - is a Bidah (innovation) which is innovated by
the late-comers (because);
The Sahabah did not stop at what they stopped, except due to
sound insight and acclaimed understanding of the Book and the
Sunnah.
The Sahabah did not leave what they left from what was
innovated after them - despite the existence of the same reasons
which the innovators use to justify their innovations - except out
of understanding of the religion. And their leaving (these matters)
is a practical Sunnah.
The Sahabah did not avoid what they avoided from that which
those, who later on seek rewards and merit - except because the
action was not from the Deen. Because the Sahabah were the
most concerned/desiring for the good and most seeking to enter
the doors of prescribed obedience.
The Sahabah did not leave any permissible matter but they acted
upon it, and sought rewards and nearness to Allah through it.
