Principles of Islam – Taking Fatwa of Scholars over Allah!

Ibn Abbas said:
“It may be that Stones are soon to descend upon you from the heavens! I say to you: ‘Allah’s Messenger said…’ and you say to me: ‘Abu Bakr and Umar said!?”

Ahmad bin Hanbal said:
“I am astonished at a people who know the chain of transmission (of a Hadith) and its authenticity but nevertheless follow the opinion of Sufyan Ath-Thauri while Allah the Most High says:

“Let those who oppose his (the Messenger’s) commandment (orders, statements, etc.) beware, lest some Fitnah (disbelief, affliction) befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them.” (24:63)

Do you know what the Fitnah is? Al-Fitnah is Shirk. May be the rejection of some of his words would cause one to have doubt and deviation in his heart and thereby be destroyed. “
