Shaikh Muhammad stated: “And has Abul-Hasan in this audio refuted and nullified his mistakes in detail? No he has not – not at all.” Then he mentioned the story of the refutation of Imām Muwaffiqud-Dīn Ibn Qudāmah (d.620H رحمه الله, the author Al-Mughnī in fiqh and Lum’atul-I’tiqād in ‘aqīdah) against Abul-Wafā Ibn ‘Aqīl.


“I looked into the book Al-Fadīhah (The Disgrace) of Ibn ‘Aqīl which he has entitled An-Nasīhah (The Advice) and I considered that which it contains of ugly innovations and hideous oppositions against the clear unobstructed correct path and I found it to be a scandalous disgrace upon the one who uttered it. “I free myself before Allaah, the Most High, from the madh’habs of the innovators: Al-I’tizāl (the beliefs of the Mu’tazilah) and from accompanying their leaders, and from praising their people and from invoking mercy upon their forefathers.” Thereafter Ibn Qudāmah (رحمه الله) brought a connected chain of narration wherein he quoted Ibn ‘Aqīl as having said: And had he not repented to Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, and freed himself, recanted and returned back from that, and had he not sought Allāh’s forgiveness from all of that which he had said of innovations, and that which he had written with his own hand, or that which he had authored or that which was ascribed to him, we would have counted him amongst the heretics, and renegade innovators.” And due to it Allaah exposed the corruption that he had concealed. Alongside that we permit ourselves and those who come after us who are not aware of our speech or your speech to refute these ugly and outrageous sayings that are present in your audios so that no one is deceived by them in accordance to what is needed in their time.”Īn illustration of a deceitful trickster: Shaikh Muhammad went on to say: “So Abul-Hasan stated: ‘Why is not my rectification accepted?’ I say: Not until you have done what Abul-Wafā Ibn ‘Aqīl did! Not until you have nullified these doubts you brought, word by word ! Then after that we will be with you.
