“Two groups from my community will not come to me at the Basin, nor will they enter Paradise: the Qadariyyah and the Murji’ah.” In another version: “The Qadariyyah and the Murji’ah are the Magians of this community. If they fall ill, do not visit them; and if they die, do not attend their funerals.”
