Don’t Expect Anything from the Rāfiḍah
November 4, 2023 § Leave a comment
The Shaikh of Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allaah have mercy on him, said about the Rāfiḍah, “Their allegiance to the Jews, Christians and the polytheists [mushriks] and their helping in the killing of Muslims is something well-known to the scholars and the layman. Such that it has been said that never did a Jew and a Muslim fight, or a Christian and a Muslim, or a mushrik and a Muslim except that the Rāfiḍī was with the Jew, the Christian and the mushrik.”

Bashār ibn Burd said to Hilāl ibn ʿAṭiyyah who was a friend of his, “Hilāl, will you listen to me if I give you a piece of advice specifically for you?” Hilāl replied, “Yes!” Bashār then said, “There was a time when you used to steal donkeys, then you repented from that and became a Rāfiḍī [shīʿah]—go back to stealing donkeys, wallāhī it’s better for you than becoming a Rāfiḍī.”

Imām Muḥammad al-Bāqir to his Son Jaʿfar
May Allaah have Mercy on Them
Adh-Dhahabī said about Imām Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad al-Bāqir, “Abū Jaʿfar became known as ‘al-Bāqir,’ from the phrase, ‘بَقَرَ الْعِلْمَ—he split knowledge open,’ i.e., tore it open, coming to know its very foundation and deep meanings.”
Al-Khaṭīb al-Baghdādī, said, “… from Sufyān ath-Thawrī, from Jaʿfar bin Muḥammad who said, “My father [Imām Muḥammad al-Bāqir] said to me:
‘My son, abusing Abū Bakr and ʿUmar is a major sin, so don’t pray behind anyone who slanders them.’”

Exactly who is Their Lord Then? And Prophet?
June 11, 2020 § Leave a comment
Niʿmatullah al-Jazāʾirī, from Jazāʾir in Iraq not Algeria the country, who died in 1112, and who the Shīʿites call, “The complete scholar,” amongst other things, and who is one of their ‘ḥadīth scholars,’ said:
“We are not in agreement with them on a God, nor a Prophet, nor an Imām. Because they say that their Lord is the one whose Prophet was Muḥammad and whose Khalīfah after him was Abū Bakr, but we do not believe in this Lord, nor that Prophet—in fact, we say that the Lord whose Prophet’s Khalīfah was Abū Bakr is not our Lord, and nor is that Prophet our Prophet.”
