تنبيه مهم: ما كل قول يُرد عليه ولا كل متكلم يُبيَّن حاله ويُنتقد كلامه

Important: Not Every Statement Should Be Answered, and Not Every Speaker Should Have His State Exposed or His Words Critiqued. ——— فبعض الأقوال الرد عليها نعشٌ لها، وبعض الناس الرد عليهم إشهارٌ لهم Some statements are revived by responding to them, and some people are only made more visible by being answered. فالقول الخامل والشخص الخامل لا يُرد عليه، بل الطريقة المثلى إخماده وأقواله A dormant statement and an irrelevant speaker should not be engaged; rather, the best approach is to let them fade out along with their words. والكثير لا يصلح للتعامل معه لعدم لزومه لغة العلم وخلوه من صفة العدل وإرادة الحق Many are not fit for engagement due to their lack of scholarly discipline, absence of fairness, and lack of sincere pursuit of truth. ولو رددنا على كل متكلم وكلام ما اتسع الوقت لفارغ واحد فكيف بعشرات وعلى مذاهب ونحل مختلفة If we were to respond to every speaker and every claim, there would not be enough time even for one idle person, let alone dozens from various schools and ideologies. فالعمر قصير Life is short. وباب الرد يحتاج إلى مجاهدة للنفس والتخلص من حضوضها وضبطها The path of refutation requires struggling against the self, restraining its desires, and disciplining it. وعقلها عن كل رد لا تُنصر به سنة ولا تُكسر به بدعة ولا طائل تحته ولا فائدة من ورائه It must be restrained from every response that neither supports a Sunnah nor breaks a bidʿah, and from anything that brings no benefit. وبما أن القلوب ضعيفة والشبه خطافة Since hearts are weak and doubts are quick to seize them, فيُركَّز على دحض الشبهات ورد الافتراءات ما دام لها أثر ويُخشى من التأثر بها attention should be placed on refuting doubts and false claims, as long as they have influence and there is fear of their impact. مع التأني والتحري التام وملازمة العدل والإنصاف With patience, full verification, and constant adherence to justice and fairness. فذلك دليل الحق وسبيل الرشد That is a sign of truth and a path of guidance. والله المستعان وعليه التكلان And Allāh is the One whose help is sought, and upon Him is reliance. وكتبه أبو سليمان سلمان بن صالح العماد Written by Abū Sulaymān Salmān bnu Ṣāliḥ al-ʿImād الأحد: ٢٢ محرم ١٤٤٦ هـ Sunday, 22 Muḥarram 1446 AH ——— Translated by: Al-Qaddārī Sources: https://t.me/SalmansalehalemadEng1/25 https://t.me/salmansalehalemad/2777 https://www.sh-salman.com/posts/19
