As far as i know, that hadith is Saheeh, i will get back to you when i find a reference. Also can i Ask you, what sect of Islam do you follow, if you follow any? Why do you hate Mua'wiya, he may have made some mistakes, but he is still a Sahabi of the Prophet (SAW.)
“And the foremost to embrace Islam of the Muhaajiroon and the Ansaar and also those who followed them exactly (in Faith). Allaah is well-pleased with them as they are well-pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme success”
[al-Tawbah 9:100]
If in the Quran it says that ALLAH ALL MIGHTY is pleased with them, then who are YOU to say otherwise?
Imam Ahmad said: If you see a man mentioning one of the companions of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in a bad way, then call his Islam into question.
So, why do you hate the sahabi? where did you learn YOUR Islam from, I see you have good intentions, but do not let them make you go astray. You will not capture the hearts by the way you communicate, do not harshly criticise, i see you do that even on your website to the orientalists.
"And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace,"
[The Noble Quran 25:63]
But if that is to an IGNORANT person, then what about to your fellow Muslim?
We are having an argument/debate here, why the harsh words?
You say that the place I learnt Islam from was from a dumpster. I learn it from a Sheikh, why do you hate sheikhs?
You have not given evidence for your claim about that THE HORN OF SATAN thing.
If he rapes my kin in front of me, and i had the power to stop him, then yes i will stop him. But if i didn't have the power, or if i were to stop him, but it would cause even more harm, then i will not.
But regardless, I will try my best, with Allah's will, to not stray from the Jama'
And Allah knows best.
