Lesson 79:

The third fundament is consensus (ijma’) which is relied on in matters concerning knowledge and religion. They use these three fundaments to judge everything that people do of speech and deeds, both inward and outward, which is connected to the religion. The consensus that can be accurately ascertained is that which the Righteous Salaf were upon for after them, differences increased and the Ummah spread.

Lesson 78:

They know that the most truthful words are the words of Allah and that the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad ﷺ. They give preference to the speech of Allah over the speech of all the different groups of people, and they give precedence to the guidance of Muhammad ﷺ over the guidance of everyone else.

It is because of this that they are called Ahlul Kitaab was Sunnah. They are also called Ahlul Jama'ah because the word Jama'ah here refers to unifying, the opposite of which is splitting. This holds true even though the term Jama'ah has become the actual name of the people themselves who have united together.

Lesson 77:

[THE ATTRIBUTES OF AHLUS-SUNNAH WAL-JAMA’AH]

The path of Ahlus Sunnah wal-Jama'ah is to follow the footsteps of the Prophet ﷺ inwardly and outwardly, it is to follow the way of the forerunners: the Muhajirun and the Ansaar, and it is to follow the Prophet's ﷺ legacy when he said: Hold fast to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Khulafaa’ after me. Hold fast to it with the molar teeth. Beware of newly invented matters because every innovation is misguidance.

In types of knowledge and spiritual unveilings, and various manifestations of power and influencing. This is related from the nations of old in Surat al-Kahf and in other Surahs of the Qur'an, it is related from the Salaf of this nation: the Sahabah and the Tabi’een, and from all of the various generations of this nation. They will exist amongst them until the Day of Rising.

Lesson 75:

[THE STANCE OF AHLUS-SUNNAH WAL-JAMA’AH REGARDING THE MIRACLES OF THE AWLIYA’]

One of the fundamentals of Ahlus Sunnah is to believe in the miracles of the Awliya' and that Allah causes supernatural feats to occur at their hands.

Lesson Notes:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bit.ly/Wasitiyya_Notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Lesson 74:

Furthermore, if one of them did commit a sin, which he then repented from, or he would do such good deeds as would erase it, or he would be forgiven by virtue of his earlier merits, or if he was granted forgiveness through the intercession of Muhammad ﷺ, since the Companions are the most deserving of his intercession, or he would be afflicted with a trial in this world, then that would all serve as an expiation.

Therefore, if this is the case with regards to sins that they may have actually committed, then what about the issues in which they made ijtihad, bearing in mind that if they were correct, they would have two rewards, and if they were wrong, they would have one reward and their error would be forgiven them?!

Moreover, the amount of the actions of some of them that one could find objectionable is negligible when compared to the virtues of these people and their good deeds such as their Imaan in Allah and His Messenger, jihaad in His way, hijrah, nusrah, and their beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds.

Whoever studies the lives of these people with knowledge and insight, considering the virtues that Allah blessed them with, will come to know with certainty that they are the best of creation after the Prophets. There has not been any like them, nor will there be any like them. They are the select amongst the generations of this Ummah which is itself the best of all nations and the most honorable with Allah.

Lesson 69 - Hadith #25 (Part 2)

The hadith of Abu Dharr al-Ghifaree :That some of the companions of the Messenger of Allahﷺ said to the Prophetﷺ: ‘O Messenger of Allah, the wealthy have taken all the rewards! They pray as we pray, they fast as we fast, and they give charity from the excess of their wealth ...’

Lesson 73:

They refrain from (delving) into the differences that occurred amongst the Companions and they state that some of the reports dealing with their faults are outright lies, and that others have been subject to either additions or omissions or distorted from their true meaning. As for what has been authentically reported in this regard, then they are excused because they made their ijtihad and were either right or wrong.

Alongside this, they do not think that every Companion was infallible, and that it is impossible for them to commit major or minor sins. Rather it is possible for them to commit sins in general, but they have such precedence and virtues that necessitate their forgiveness for any such thing that may be committed by them. This is true to the point that they could be forgiven for sins that would not be forgiven for others who came after them because they have such good deeds which the later people do not have that would erase their bad deeds. It is established that the Messenger of Allahﷺsaid that they are the best of all generations and that a mudd that one of them gives in charity is better than gold equaling the size of Mount Uhud given by those who came after them.
