Talk:Al-Hasan ibn 'Ali al-Barbahari

Will change sunni bias:

Firm stance against bidah or innovations in Islam Al-Barbahari is mostly remembered as a severe critic of innovations in Islam or bidah. In his book, Sharhu s-Sunnah "Explanation of the Creed", al-Barbahari rebukes and chastises various groups he believed were heresies. His works may be seen as a warning to the general public to apprise them of the increasing amount of innovations he saw as plaguing Iraq. For example, a good portion of sayings in his book, begins with the phrase, "May God have mercy upon you!" or "Beware of..." thus suggesting his works were not necessarily a rebuttal against the growing heresies but rather as warnings to the masses. [edit]The Salaf In deeply relying on the viewpoints of the companions of Muhammad, al-Barbahari praises many of the Tabieen, theorizing that one can ascertain whether an individual is on the right path by discerning whether that individual shows love for the early generations of Muslims. He went as far to say that those who viewed any Islamic religious matter differently from the Sahaba, or companions of Muhammad, has fallen into disbelief. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Axatoramus (talk • contribs) 09:55, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
