Stance towards those who revile the pious predecessors
In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
Ali Ibn Shaqeeq, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: I heard Abdullah Ibn Al-Mubarak, may Allah have mercy upon him, saying in the midst of the people, “Abandon the narrations of Amr Bin Thabit because he used to revile the pious predecessors”. [Muslim 1/16]
Shaikh Jamal Bin Fareehaan, may Allah have mercy upon him, said, “How about if Ibn Al-Mubarak was to appear amongst us; what would he have said about those who speak ill of the companions of the Messenger, such as the likes of Mawdudi, Sayyid Qutb, Tariq Suwaydaan, Hasan Bin Farhaan al-Maliki, Abul Hasan al-Maribi al-Misri and those who defend these people or keep silent about them!” [ لم الدر المنثور .page 143]
