The Devils Deception by Imam Ibn AL-Jawzi

Chapter Eleven: The Devil's Deception of the .)iifts
Ruwaym said: "Allah has hidden things inside things. He hid his
cunning inside His knowledge, and His deception inside his subtleness,
and his punishment inside His generosity." This is shameless
to say, and a form of confusion.
We seek refuge with Allah from such confusion and alteration of
knowledge. How did he (Ruwaym) knowthis factthatonlya Prophet
might have known?!
These people's distance from knowledge was the cause of this.
It should be known that illusions and inner thought are fruits of
knowledge. He whose knowledge is proper will have proper
thoughts, and he who is ignorant will only have ignorant thoughts.
Abu Yazid passed by a Jewish graveyard and said: "What are they
for You to punish them?! They are nothing more than a handful of
bones, so forgive them."
I would observe thatthis is a display of ignorance. The expression
"a han4ful f bones" is one of contempt for the human being, for a
Believer too when he dies becomes a handful of bones. "What are
they for }ou to punish them" the same was Pharaohs case. The prayer "so
forgive them" displays ignorance of the Shanab. Allah has stated that
association of others with Him will not be forgiven to one who dies
in unbelief. If this person's intercession would be accepted, then
that of Ibrahim ('alayhis-sa/tim) for his father would have been accepted,
and that of the Prophet Mu9ammad (:i) for his mother."
We seek refuge with Allah from the lack of knowledge.
As for their understanding of 9adith:
