In this important lecture, the Shaykh explains the foundational principles of Ahl al-Sunnah regarding disagreement amongst the scholars in matters of jarḥ wa al-taʿdīl, tabdīʿ, and evaluating individuals. Why do some Imāms criticise a person while others praise him? Why would one scholar declare a man an innovator while another remains silent regarding him? How do the people of Sunnah deal with these differences with justice, knowledge, and fairness — rather than desires and partisanship? The Shaykh clarifies the principle: “The one who knows is a proof against the one who does not know.” Using powerful historical and contemporary examples from the statements of Imām Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥajar, Shaykh al-Albānī, Shaykh Ibn Bāz, and others, this lesson demonstrates the balanced Salafī methodology in dealing with criticism, praise, and scholarly disagreement. A vital reminder in times of tribulation, confusion, blind-following, and partisanship. Topics covered: • The principle of detailed criticism taking precedence over general praise • Differences amongst the Imāms in tabdīʿ and narrator criticism • Justice and fairness in the methodology of Ahl al-Sunnah • Examples involving ʿIkrimah, ʿAbd al-Razzāq, Salmān al-ʿAwdah, Safar al-Ḥawālī, Sayyid Quṭb, Jamāʿat al-Tablīgh, and others • How major scholars retracted previous praise after the truth became clear to them {O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah… So follow not the lusts of your hearts, lest you avoid justice.} #Salafi #AhlusSunnah #Manhaj #JarhWaTadil #Tabdi #Scholars #IslamicLectures
