٣٣٩ 339 23: His Shunning and Reviling of Innovators and His Forbidding Others to Listen to Them “It’s better to write down Hadith,” he said. “Why?” “Because with praying and fasting, someone can always say, ‘I saw others doing it so I did it too.’” We cite ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq ibn ʿAbd al-Khāliq, who cites Muḥammad ibn Marzūq, who cites Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī ibn Thabit, who cites ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAlī l-Warrāq, who cites ʿUmar ibn Aḥmad al-Wāʿiẓ, who heard Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Ismāʿīl report that he heard al-Faḍl ibn Ziyād report: [Al-Faḍl ibn Ziyād:] I heard Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal say: “Anyone who rejects a Hadith of the Prophet, God bless and keep him, stands on the brink of ruin.” Chapter 23: His Shunning and Reviling of Innovators and His Forbidding Others to Listen to Them We cite ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Abī l-Qāsim, who cites ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad al-Anṣārī, who cites Muḥammad ibn al-Muntaṣir, who cites Abū Bakr ibn Abī l-Faḍl, who heard Abū Isḥāq al-Anṣārī report that he heard Aḥmad’s son Ṣāliḥ say: [Ṣāliḥ:] Al-Ḥiẓāmī visited Ibn Abī Duʾād237 and then came to call on my father. When my father came out and saw him coming, he shut the door in his face and went back inside. We cite Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar al-Faqīh and al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī l-Khayyāṭ, both of whom cite ʿAbd al-Ṣamad ibn al-Maʾmūn, who cites ʿAlī ibn ʿUmar al-Dāraquṭnī, who heard ʿUthmān ibn Ismāʿīl ibn Bakr al-Sukkarī report that he heard Abū Dāwūd al-Sijistānī say: [Al-Sijistānī:] I once asked Aḥmad whether, if I see a man I know to be an adherent of the sunnah in the company of a reprehensible innovator, I should stop speaking to him. “No,” he replied. “First tell him that the man you saw him with is an innovator . If he stops talking with him, fine. If not, consider him an innovator too. As Ibn Masʿūd said, ‘Judge a man by his friends.’” 22.9 23.1 23.2 ٣٤٠ 340 Æ ! ! ?@ / #vÉ " # Ë ) $X Z [#P± ) " #P i  * + , ¢01P _aÇÞ wx@ / #01 _ c@ / _?@ / # f ?@ / # 01¤£ " # AB¦^°̄ " # :. / * D _ Yÿp P S=T@ / # Z [ =T@ / # 7 JKL M Z [ =T@ / #01¤£ " # AB¦^°̄ " # :. / $X \ AB! 01¡ \ v w !
