This too is fabricated, by the consensus of the scholars: a concocted lie.

Likewise, the reports that they sought to induce ecstasy, tore the cloak to pieces, and so forth are all lies. During the first three generations, no one gathered for this innovated practice of devotional listening—not in the Hijaz, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, or Khurāsān—let alone anything comparable having occurred in the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Nor did anyone tear his clothes or dance during such listening, or do anything of the sort at all. Rather, when taghbīr arose toward the end of the second century, its practitioners were among the finest Sufis. It originated in the East, where Satan’s horn rises and from which tribulations emerge.

Al-Shāfiʿī, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
“I left behind in Baghdad something invented by the heretics, which they call taghbīr and use to turn people away from the Quran.”

As for those truthful, sincere, and righteous people who attended this frivolous activity on the basis of a mistaken interpretation, their good deeds outweighed whatever sins or errors they committed in this and other matters
