"In a way, they (i.e. the Rawāfiḍ) are worse than the Jews and Christians.."


The Rawāfi

Imām Ali Ibn  Abī al-Izz al-anafi [D. 792H] said:

Who could be more astray than those who have malice  in their hearts against the people who are the best of the Muslim ummah and the most honoured of Allāhs awliyā after the Prophets? 

In a way, they (i.e. the Rawāfi) are worse than the Jews and Christians; if the Jews  were asked regarding the best of their ummah they would answer with the companions of Mūsā. Likewise, if the Christians were asked regarding the best of their ummah they would answer with the companions of Isā. However, when the Rawāfi are questioned as to the worst of their ummah they answer with the companions of Muammad al Allāhu alayhi wa sallam. Yet, if one were to compare them – you will find those whom they slander (i.e. the aābah and righteous Salafī scholars who came after them) to be better than those they do not (i.e. their own corrupt leaders).
