Etiquettes Of Differing In What Is Permissible |
I present to you my advice, O Kidaam;
So listen to a father, compassionate to you.
As for joking and argumentation, then leave them;
They are traits I do not approve offor a friend.
Having tried them, I did not found them praiseworthy,
Neither for a close neighbour, nor for a close friend.
[Mukhtasar Jaami` Bayanul-`Ilm wa Fadlihi (p.278)]The Pious Predecessors have left us splendid examples about the etiquettes of differing; amongst them is:What al-Bukhaaree (no.5704) and Muslim (no.220) report from Husain ibn `Abdur-Rahmaan who said:I was with Sa`eed ibn Jubayr when he said: Who amongst you saw the shooting stars last night. I replied: I did. Then I said: Not because I was praying at that time, but because I had been stung by a scorpion. He said: So what did you do? I replied: I used an incantation (ruqyaa). He said: Why did you do that? I said: Because of a hadeeth related to me by ash-Sha`bee. He said: What did he relate to you? I replied: He related from Buraydah ibn al-Husain who said:"There is no incantation, except for the evil eye or a sting."Sa'eed said: He has done well in halting at what he has heard [of knowledge]. However Ibn 'Abbaas related to us ... [and he went on to narrate the hadeeth]."Look at this sublime mannerism from one of those who inherited knowledge from ibn `Abbaas, may Allaah be pleased with him. He was not severe, rather he was kind to him because he was acting upon what he had of the evidence. Then he explained to him what was better, but with a gentle rectification supported by the proof.Shaykh Saalim ibn Saalih al-MarfadeeBy:
