Below are some narrations from a chapter in the book Ijmaaýul ýulamaa ýalal hajri wat tahdheeri min ahlil ahwaaý (The concensus of the ulamaa regarding boycotting and warning against the people of desires) from the post "Al-fawaariq(2)" of Br. Abu Hakeem Bilaal Davis hafidhahullah. ýý.Ibnul jawzi mentions concerning al imaam ahmad rahimahullah :-:- ýcertainly imaam ahmad ýli-shiddati-tamasukihi bis sunnaý due to his severe clinging to the sunnah and his prohibiton of bidýah spoke against a group from amongst the choice ones (ie the noble ones) if there came from them that which was in opposition to the sunnah and those statements of his are considered naseehah to the religioný He goes on to mention he statement of ibnul qayyim in his book ýshifaaýul ýaleelý page 60 ::ý indeed ibn abaas was ýshadeed ý(harsh) against the qadariyah and likewise the sahaabah(i.e were also shadeed)ý He then goes on to mention that which occurs in the biography of al imaam hamaad ibn salamah al basri (167h): He mentions the statement of imaam dhahabi : ý..imaam ahmad said : if you see a man slandering hamaad ibn salamah then suspect his islaam, for indeed he was ýshadeedý(harsh) upon the people of bidýahý Likewise concerning bilaal ibn abi burdah(120h) he mentions the statement of imaam dhahabee he says after mentioning that khalid ibn abdillah al qasri utilised him in the affairs of judging and other than that while he was in charge of the affairs of the muslim then imaam dhahabee says: ý..and bilaal ibn abi burdah was ýshadeedý(harsh) upon ahlil bidýahý He likewise mentions the statement of az-zawaawi about imaam abdur rahmaan ibn hurmuz al aýraj(117h) :ý ibn hurmuz was little in speech and was ýshadeedý against ahlil bidýahý As for the famous qaadi (judge) shreek ibn abdillah an nakha'iý(177h) he quotes the statement of imaam ahmad ý he was intelligent, trustworthy, a muhadith(scholar of hadeeth) and was shadeed(harsh) upon the people of doubt and bidýahý Concerning imaam ash shaafiýee(204h) he quotes the statement of al imaamul baihaqi concerning him in ýmanaaqibush shaafiýeeýý vol 1 page 469: ýAsh-shaafiýee radhiyallahu anhu was ýshadeedý(harsh) upon the people of heresy and and bidýah making his hatred and boycotting of them apparentý Concerning the imaam umar ibn haroon al balkhi(194h) he mentions the statement of imaam qutaiba ibn saýeed ýumar ibn haaroon was shadeed(harsh) upon the murjiýah and he used to mention their evils and afflictionsý About abdillah ibn abi hisaan al yahsibi (226h) ýhe was generous, eloquent, strong in debate, a defender of the sunnah a follower of the way of imaam maalik ýshadeedý(harsh) upon ahlil bidýahý About imaam uthmaan ibn saeed ad daarimi (280h) he mentions the statement of imaam ibn hibbaan ýAd daarimi was from the precise narrators, and from the people of piety in the religion from those who memorized and collected and authored and narrated. He made the Sunnah apparent in his country and called to it and defended its sacred nature and suppressed those who oppose itý About ismaýeel ibn ishaaq al qaadi (282h) ýhe was ýshadeedý upon the people of bidýahýý Concerning the imaam of ahlus sunnah in his time abu Muhammad al hussain ibn ali ibn khalaf al barbahaari(329h) he quotes the statement of imaam ibn katheer concerning him ýThe scholar, the one who practiced abstinence, the jurist, the one upon the way of ahmad ibn hanbal, the admonisher, the companion(sometimes meaning the student) of (imaam) marwazi and sahl at tustariýand he was ýshadeedý upon ahlul bidýahýý Concerning imaam abi umar ibn ahmad ibn Muhammad al talamanki(429h) he mentions the statement of imaam adh dhahabee dhahabee ý he was noble, staunch upon the sunnah khalaf ibn bashkawaal said: ý he was an unsheathed sword against ahlul ahwaa and bidýah, a suppressor of them, having jealousy and zealousness for the shariah, harsh in the way of allah.ý Concerning shaikhul islaam ibn taimiyah he quotes the statement of the student of shaikhul islaam 'ibn abdil haadi' concerning him ýsuppressor of the people of bidýahý He likewise said::ý for he ý may Allah show him mercy was an unsheathed sword against the people of opposition, the foreign body (thorn etc) in the throat of the people of desires, the mubtadýieený Likewise the statement of kamaalud deen ibniz zamlakaani:ýthe aider of the sunnah suppressor of bidýah, allahs proof upon his servants in his time the refuter of the people of deviation and obstinance.ý Indeed the narrations in that regard are plenty, for an increase in that return to the second section of the abovementioned book. In his introduction to the book, shaikh ubaid says after him supplicating for the author due to that which he has put in his book from verses of revelation and saheeh sunnah and narrations from the salaf ýthat which will make the reader stop and recognise the fact that the ulamaa of islaam especially the salafiyoon are not complacent in refuting bidah and being harsh upon its people, so they are in truth as it occurs in a narration ýthis knowledge will be carried in every generation by the trustworthy they repel from it the distortions of those who go beyond bounds and the falsehood of those who fabricate lies and the false interpretation of the ignorantý
