Who truly cares more for Omar Suleiman: the one who justifies his deviations or the one who warns against them?

Al-‘Uqayli narrated in Aḍh- Ḍhu‘āfā' (1/229) with his chain of transmission from Abu Salih Al-Farrā', who said: "I mentioned to Yusuf ibn Asbāṭ something about Wakee‘ concerning the trials (fitan). He responded: 'That one resembles his teacher — meaning Al-Hasan ibn Hayy.' I said to Yusuf: 'Do you not fear that this might be backbiting?' He replied: 'Why, you fool? I am better for these people than their mothers and fathers. I forbid people from following the innovations they have introduced so that their sins do not follow them, while those who praise them cause more harm to them.'”
12. You said: "It's VERY ironic how..."
I say: It would be ironic, except that Omar Suleiman is a deviant whom Muslims should be cautious of.
I pray that Allāh grants me sincerity, wisdom, and steadfastness in my work and that He blesses you with goodness in both this world and the Hereafter.
Should you wish to provide further feedback or engage in a dialogue to clarify any misunderstandings, I would be very happy to help.
May Allāh guide us all to the Straight Path.
Abu Ishaq Muhammad ibn Ahmad
