Excerpts from "Protection for the Salafee"

[Abu.Adam.Jameel]

Bismillah,

[Adhere to Evidences, not Fancy Speech, a Cure for Ridding One's Self of Dubious Matters]

Shaykh, Dr. Ahmad Bazmool (1), may Allah protect him, said:

...It is upon [those who] are seeking the truth to adhere to fundamental principles (2), evidences and clear proofs. Do not be fascinated by the distortions and false arguments of those who are deceitful. Remember [and cling to] the statement of Imaam Maalik [d. 179 AH]: 'Is it that every time someone comes to us who is better at argumentation, we leave off that which Jibreel conveyed to Muhammad, prayers and peace upon him, for his [fancy] argument [?!]' If you adhere to this [principle], your confusions will go away, and your doubts will be removed...(3)
