Our Salaf: Abul Jawzaa would have preferred to sit with pigs rather than sit with ahlul bidah!
قال أبو الجوزاء
لِأَنْ أجالس الخنازير أحب إِلَيَّ من أن أجالس أحدا من أهل الأهواء
Abul Jawzaa (rahimahullaah) said:
That I should sit with pigs is more beloved to me than that I should sit with anyone from the people of desires (i.e. ahlul bidah)
