Majmu' al-FatawaIbn Taimiya

If a man has attained faith by which he worships Allah, while another has been granted more than that—beyond what the first can attain—the first should not be burdened with what he cannot bear. If this would put him to trial, no report that would put him to trial should be related.

This is a “fundamental principle” in teaching and addressing people. People are addressed collectively through texts they have all heard, such as the Quran and well-known hadith, although they differ in their understanding of them. And Allah Most High knows best.

وَإِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ قَدْ حَصَلَ لَهُ إيمَانٌ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ بِهِ وَأُتِيَ آخَرُ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ عَجَزَ عَنْهُ الْأَوَّلُ لَمْ يَحْمِلْ مَا لَا يُطِيقُ وَإِنْ يَحْصُلُ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ فِتْنَةٌ: لَمْ يُحَدِّثْ بِحَدِيثِ يَكُونُ لَهُ فِيهِ فِتْنَةٌ. فَهَذَا " أَصْلٌ عَظِيمٌ " فِي تَعْلِيمِ النَّاسِ وَمُخَاطَبَتِهِمْ وَالْخِطَابُ الْعَامُّ بِالنُّصُوصِ الَّتِي اشْتَرَكُوا فِي سَمَاعِهَا؛ كَالْقُرْآنِ وَالْحَدِيثِ الْمَشْهُورِ وَهُمْ مُخْتَلِفُونَ فِي مَعْنَى ذَلِكَ. وَاَللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ.
