Part 2
People are Recognised
by the truth
From the Principles
of the Salafi Manhaj
Translated by Abbas
Abu Yahya
“People are
recognised by the truth but the truth is not recognised through the people “
(الرجال يُعرفون بالحقّ
ولا يُعرف الحقّ بالرجال)
Shaykh Ubayd Al-Jabri
said: ‘The meaning of this principle is that a person is described and
characterised as adhering to the Sunnah and that he is from the people of
Sunnah and upon the truth, not stained with any stain of Bid’ah or
Superstitions.
The sign which shows
us this is what he followed of the truth in his statements and actions. This is
the first part of this principle.
‘The truth is not recognised through the people’, means, it is not simply a person’s behaviour regarding just one statement or one action that indicates he is correct. Rather, judgement upon statements and actions according to the Salafis is with two scales :
A text of
the Book and the Sunnah or a consensus of the Salaf.’
