This is an article of Sh.Abdullah al-Bukharee حفظه الله explaining the ASL of the Muslim.
Infact it would serve as a clarity for some brothers who refute AhlusSunnah & brand them with Extremism unjustly.
Here is what Sh.Bukharee said :
Shaykh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaaree said,
"...We have spoken about this, [is the origin of the Muslim: ignorance
or is he Salafi]?
And we say in summary: The origin of the
Muslim is not that he is Salafi. We say that the origin of the
Muslim is that he is Muslim. Whosoever’s Islaam is affirmed with
certainty, then it cannot be removed except with certainty. His description
that he is Salafi is a description that is additional to Islaam.
For example, when you say that so and so is trustworthy, it is not possible
for him to be trustworthy and to be a non-Muslim.
So it is inescapable that he be a Muslim,
because it is only after those affairs that he can be trustworthy.
Therefore, trustworthiness is a description
that is additional to Islaam. And this requires knowledge and
experience concerning one’s condition in order to describe him as being
trustworthy.
Likewise, describing someone
as Salafi requires knowledge and experience with him and a
commendation (tazkiyah) and the likes of that for it to be said that he
is Salafi
This is a summary.
However, when we say that he is a Muslim,
does this raise from him the sphere of ignorance? No, he is Muslim, but
he is ignorant and unknown.
So here, the speech concerning him is not to
revile him, but it is because his trustworthiness and his description
with Salafiyyah has not been ascertained.
Many of them revolve around this: The origin
concerning the Muslims is that they are Ahlu Sunnah, or the origin
concerning the Muslims is that they are trustworthy. Such are the principles
that they formulate concerning the Muslims, principles that have no halter
and no rein. After research, we do not find that the Scholars behave in
such a manner.
Why do they take Imam Ibn Hibbaan (d.354H)
– rahimahullaah – and describe him as mutasaahil (lenient)
in the issue of ta’deel (praise)? Because the basic principle
according to him was that the origin of the Muslim, about whom
no jarh (criticism) is confirmed,
is al-’adl (trustworthiness). He is trustworthy. And due
to this, they said that Ibn Hibbaan was lenient and his lenience is well
known; this is an established principle..." Ref: Salafyink.com
