Yahya ibn Mu’adh al-Razi (رحمه الله) said: «اخْتِلَافُ النَّاسِ كُلِّهِمْ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أُصُولٍ، فَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا ضِدٌّ، فَمَنْ سَقَطَ عَنْهُ وَقَعَ فِي ضِدِّهِ: التَّوْحِيدُ وَضِدُّهُ الشِّرْكُ، وَالسُّنَّةُ وَضِدُّهَا الْبِدْعَةُ، وَالطَّاعَةُ وَضِدُّهَا الْمَعْصِيَةُ» “All differences among people return to three foundations. Each of them has an opposite, and whoever falls away from it will fall into its opposite: Tawḥīd, whose opposite is shirk. The Sunnah, whose opposite is bidʿah. Obedience, whose opposite is disobedience.” Al Iʿtiṣām (1/154) Learn about the Salaf: https://t.me/gemsofthesalaf

Abu Umamah al-Bahili (رضي الله عنه) said: إن الشيطانَ يأتي إلى فراشِ أحدِكم بعدما يفرشُه أهلُه ويهيئونه فيلقي عليه العودَ والحجرَ والشيءَ ليغضبَه على أهلِه ، فإذا وجد ذلك فلا يغضبْ على أهلِه ، قال : لأنه من عملِ الشيطانِ “Shaytān comes to the bed of one of you after his family has prepared and arranged it for him. He then places a stick, a stone, or something similar upon it in order to anger him against his family. So when he finds it, he should not become angry with his family, for it is from the work of Shaytān.” Al-Adab al-Mufrad 1191 Learn about the Salaf: https://t.me/gemsofthesalaf

They present the deeds of the people before the Book of Allah. If those deeds conform to it, they praise Allah. If they contradict it, they recognise through the Book of Allah the misguidance of the one who has gone astray and the guidance of the one who is rightly guided. Such people are the vicegerents of Allah.” Al-I‘tiṣām 1/42 Learn about the Salaf: https://t.me/gemsofthesalaf

Shāfiʿī (رحمه الله) said: ‏الناس متعبدون بأن يقولوا ويفعلوا ما أمروا به، وينتهوا إليه، لا يجاوزونه، لأنهم لم يعطوا أنفسهم شيئًا، إنما هو عطاء الله، فنسأل الله عطاءً مؤديًا لحقه، موجبًا لمزيده. “People are bound in worship to say and do what they have been commanded with, and to stop where they have been stopped, not going beyond that. For they have not granted themselves anything; rather, it is the giving of Allah. So we ask Allah for a gift that enables fulfilment of His right and brings about an increase from Him.” Ar-Risālah (p. 483) Learn about the Salaf: https://t.me/gemsofthesalaf
