Abu Wa'il relates: Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hunayf (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived, so we went to him, and he said: "Hold your opinion suspect in matters of religion. I saw myself on the day of Abu Jandal; had we been able to turn back the decision of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we would have done so." And Allah and His Messenger know best.
