Chapter: Reports from the Followers and Others Refuting Them

Muhammad ibn al-Husayn—may Allah have mercy on him—said: Know—may Allah have mercy on us and you—that there is a group among the Qadariyya who, when some of them are asked, “Who is your authority for this doctrine of yours?” reply, “Al-Hasan.” Yet they have falsely attributed this to al-Hasan. Allah, the Most Generous, has exalted al-Hasan far above the doctrine of the Qadariyya. We shall relate from al-Hasan statements contrary to what they have alleged about him.
