Bayhaqi 20869 — What renders the testimony of the people of innovation
قَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا: هُوَ إِظْهَارُ منْ أَظْهَرَ مِنْهُمْ نَفْيَ صِفَاتِ اللهِ تَعَالَى الَّتِي قَدْ وَرَدَ الْكِتَابُ بِهَا، وَدَلَّتِ السُّنَّةُ الْمُسْتَفِيضَةُ مَعَ إِجْمَاعِ سَلَفِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ عَلَى إِثْبَاتِهَا، نَحْوَ الْكَلَامِ وَالْقُدْرَةِ وَالْعِلْمِ وَالْمَشِيئَةِ، وَأَنَّ الْأَفْعَالَ كُلَّهَا لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى مَخْلُوقَةٌ، فَقَدْ جَاءَتِ الْأَخْبَارُ بِتَكْفِيرِ مُنْكِرِيهَا، وَتَبَرَّأَ سَلَفُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ مِنْ مَذْهَبِ أَهْلِ الْأَهْوَاءِ فِيهَا.
Some of our companions said: "What is meant by it is the open declaration, by one of them, of the denial of the attributes of Allah Almighty which the Book of Allah has mentioned, and whose affirmation the widely transmitted (mustafidah) Sunnah, together with the consensus of the predecessors (Salaf) of this ummah, has indicated, such as speech, power, knowledge and will; and (likewise the denial) that all actions are created by Allah Almighty. For reports have come declaring those who deny these to be disbelievers, and the predecessors of this ummah declared themselves free of the doctrine of the people of desires (the innovators) in these matters."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْفَقِيهُ إِمْلَاءً فِي جَامِعِ الْمَنْصُورِ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْأَشْعَثِ، ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " الْقَدَرِيَّةُ مَجُوسُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ، إِنْ مَرِضُوا فَلَا تَعُودُوهُمْ، وَإِنْ مَاتُوا فَلَا تَشْهَدُوهُمْ " أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ فِي كِتَابِ السُّنَنِ هَكَذَا.
Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The Qadariyyah are the Magians of this ummah. If they fall ill, do not visit them, and if they die, do not offer their funeral prayer."
