Muhammad Bin Yahya...

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Dawood Bin Sirham, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah – asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah – saww said: ‘Whenever you see the people of the doubts and the innovation from after me – saww , so display the disownment from them, and frequent from insulting them, and speaking regarding them, and the encountering them, and the defaming them, perhaps they would not covet (plant) the mischief in Al-Islam, and caution the people not to learn from their innovations, Allah – azwj would Write the good deeds for you due to that, and Raise the levels for you in the Hereafter due to that’.

[52] Finally, following others may lead to Shirk, see Appendix: APPENDIX: ‘Shirk biz Zaat’ (Worshiping of someone): Imam Abu Abdullah – asws said: the Verse (12:106): And most of them do not believe in Allah without associating others (with Him) . Imam – asws explained that this verse refers to the Shirk in obedience (Shirk Biz Zaat) and not to the Shirk in worship (Shirk bil Ibada) and the Verse (22:11): [53] ….

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ And among men is he who worships Allah (standing) on the verge… Imam – asws replied that this verse was descended for a single person but it applied to all those who followed him. I asked: Will that who takes an Imam (a guide) other than those Nominated by Allah – azwj would fall under this Verse? Imam – asws replied: Yes, just him or sometimes even all those (the Mureeds) who follow him.

[54] وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ بِاللَّهِ إِلَّا وَهُمْ مُشْرِكُونَ (12: 106) And most of them although embrace faith (become Momin) but still associate others with Allah.
