So stick to what you know from my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly-guided caliphs - cling to that with your molar teeth"[Ahmad (4/126), Ibn Maajah (no. 43), al-Haakim (1/96) and others - Hasan<BR/><BR/>may Allah guide us all and keep our faith true and firm.<BR/><BR/>wassalamu alaikum<BR/>roseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
