Chapter Two: Condemning bid' ah (innovation) and mubtadlin (innovators)<br />

not even half a word.'35<br />

36) A yyiib al-SakhtiyanI said: 'An innovator does not increase in<br />

activity except that he becomes further from Allah (the Mighty<br />

and the Majestic).'36<br />

37) Sufyan al-ThawrI said: 'Bid' ah is more beloved to Iblis than a<br />

regular sin, because it is possible to repent from a regular sin,<br />

but not possible to repent from a bid'ah.'37<br />

38) Muammal <strong>Ibn</strong> Isma'Il said: 'I was present in 'Abdu'l-'Aziz <strong>Ibn</strong><br />

AbI Rawad's funeral. His body was set at the door of al-afri<br />

and everyone lined up (to pray) when Sufyan al-Thawri came.'<br />

Everyone said: 'Al-ThawrI came, Al-ThawrI came. So he<br />

passed through the ranks and passed <strong>by</strong> the body and did not<br />

pray (fanrizah).' This was because 'Abdu'l-'Aziz was accused<br />

of lrjri. 38<br />

39) Sufyan al-ThawrI said: 'Whoever listens to an innovator, Allah<br />

will not make him benefit from what he had heard. As for<br />

whoever shakes the hand of an innovator, he loosens (the<br />

strands of) Islam one knot at a time.'39<br />

35 Abii Nu'aym in al-/ji/yah, 3/9.<br />

36 Abii Nu'aym in al-!ji!Jah, 3/9 .<br />

37 Abii Nu'aym in al-!ji!Jah, 7 /26 (i.e. because the one who is innovating does not<br />

think it is bad).<br />

38 Abii Nu'aym in al-!ji!Jah, 7 /29.<br />

39 Abii Nu'aym in al-!ji!Jah, 7 /33.<br />
