Section Fifteen<br />

Censuring $iiji Interpretations<br />

Because $iifts suffered from lack of knowledge, they produced actions<br />

and sayings that were not permissible and because the righteous<br />

among them were few; many scholars, including their own<br />

Shaikhs, condemned them.<br />

Malik said: Do you really think $tijis are Muslims?! <strong>The</strong>n he laughed<br />

a lot.<br />

And al-Shafi'i said: If a person becomes a $t!ft at sunrise, <strong>by</strong> noon<br />

he will turn stupid. And he said: Nobody practices Sufism for forty<br />

days and ever regained his mind.<br />

And 'Asim Al-Al:iwal said: We have always known $1Jfts to be stupid<br />

But some of them pretend to be among the people of l:iadith.<br />

And Yal:iya lbn Yal:iya said: $tijts are worse than the Khawdrij.<br />

And Yal:iya lbn Mu'adh said: Avoid the company of three types of<br />

people: Scholars who are not practicing (Islam), poor people who<br />

are flatterers and ignorant $tijts.<br />

We previously mentioned how Scholars of Egypt condemned<br />

Dhii'l-Niin, and those of Bustam condemned Abii Yazid, Abii<br />

Sulayman al-Darani, Al:imad lbn Abi al-Hawarl and Sahl al-Tasturi.<br />

This was because scholars used to hold tight to the Sunnah, condemn<br />

the slightest birlah and abandon those practicing birlah.<br />

Al-Shaikh Abii'l-Khattab al-Kaliithani said while visiting a $tiji tent<br />

to pay condolences for a deceased person: ''I would not have liked<br />

for my friends and teachers to see me entering this $tijt tent."<br />
