Description
The most truthful speech is the book of Allah (the Qur'an) and the best of guidance is that of Muhammad (S), the worst of evils are the newly invented matters (in religion), and every innovated matter (in Islam) is a bid'ah and every bid' ah is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the hell fire.
Our Salaf are guided to goodness, persistent on piety, and relentless in seeking and teaching knowledge.
And they-may Allah have mercy upon them-did not move except with a Sunnah, and they did not remain still except with a Sunnah; subsequently their method of learning and teaching was upon the Book and the Sunnah without any deviation.
The Salaf Salih worked more than they spoke. Their dedication was not initially directed at laying down the fundamentals of Islamic disciplines and authoring books.
Rather, they dedicated their life for their students who would follow their life pattern so they would all end up in paradise, if Allah wills.
