Arab-ELLA Imaam Al-Awzaa’ee’s Advice On Taking Narrations Over Opinions:
Imaam Al-Awzaa’ee (d. 157) said:
“Adhere to the narrations from those who have preceded,
even if the people reject you, and beware of the opinions of men,
even if they beautify it with speech.
So indeed the afair will become clear (for others),
while you are upon a straight path regarding it!”
[Bayhaqee in Al-Madkhal (no. 233) with an authentic chain of narrators].
He also said:
“So make yourself patient upon the Sunnah, stop where the people stopped, speak with what they spoke with, and refrain from what they refrained from. And follow the path of your Righteous Predecessors (Salafus Saaliheen) for verily, sufficient for you is that which was sufficient for them!”
[Al-Hijjah by Ismaa'eel Ibnul-Fadhl (6/a-b)].
