ʿAbd Allah Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal (may Allah be pleased with him) sai | IlmTest

ʿAbd Allah Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
وَقَالَ عَبْدُوسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْعَطَّارُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ - يَقُولُ:

“ʾUṣūl al-Sunnah (ie: the foundations of the Sunnah) with us are: Holding fast to what the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were upon,
أُصُولُ السُّنَّةِ عِنْدَنَا التَّمَسُّكُ بِمَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -

And taking them (ie: the Ṣaḥābah) as an example to be followed.
وَالِاقْتِدَاءُ بِهِمْ،

And abandoning al-bidaʿ (ie: innovations),
وَتَرْكُ الْبِدَعِ،

And (knowing) that every bidaʿ is ḍalālah (ie: misguidance).”
وَكُلُّ بِدْعَةٍ فَهِيَ ضَلَالَةٌ
