Poem By Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Tamiyyah

After clarifying the misguidance of the raafidee shee'ah, Shaykhul-Islaam said this poem:

When you wish to be pleased with a madhhab for yourself
By which you will obtain nearness and safety from the Fire
Then make devotion with the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah
That has come from the Messenger of Allaah from the Narrations of the best
And leave alone the religion of ar-Rafd (shia) and al-Bida' (innovations)
Which leads its caller to the Fire and to destitution
But traverse behind the Companions of the Messenger
For they are stars of guidance by whose light the traveller guides himself
And depart from the path of ar-Rafd
For it is founded upon disbelief, upon an undermined cliff
There are only two paths, either guidance and happiness
Or wretchedness alongside the misguidance of the Kuffaar
So which of our two parties are more worthy of His safety
And more guided in the path when the Creator will judge
Is it the one who reviles the Companions, and opposes
The Book and does not care for the affirmation of narrations
Or the one who guides himself with the Revelation
Who traverses upon the manhaj of the Sahaabah
Along with the love of the purified near ones

(Minhaaj 4/128)
