I'm
reading a lot of (facebook posts) from Sunni so called (Sufi) brothers
insulting one another and other Sufi scholars and salafi-nadjis too, and they
are proud of it, thinking it’s great, yet the scholars say;
"What counts are realities and meanings,
not merely wordings or labels.” Consider the following poem;
There
once was a sufi with beads,
Who
was terribly impressed with his deeds,
The
salafi, he scorned
“You’ve
no purity” he warned,
With
his self he was, O so well-pleased.
Hadith
on Humility: Do not respond to insults like the devil does;
Iyad
ibn Himar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him,
said, “Verily, Allah has revealed to me that you should be humble, such that
none of you transgresses or boasts against another.” I said, “O Messenger of
Allah, what do you think about a man who reviles me in a lowly assembly and I
respond to him; am I sinful?” The Prophet peace be upon him said, “Two people
who revile each other are like two devils accusing and denying each other.
al-Adab al-Mufrad 428
“Insulting
a Muslim is an act of immorality and fighting him is an act of disbelief.”
(Bukhari)
Another
hadith states, “It is not the character of a believer to indulge in slandering,
cursing, or immoral talk.” (Tirmdhi)
