ABU OUSAYD

FACTS:

BUKHARI, MUSLIM AND ABU DAWUD NARRATED HADITH BY THE KHAWARIJ….

….BUT WOULD NOT NARRATE FROM THE MURJIAH!
__________

it is interesting that earlier scholars accepted innovators such as al-Khawarij to a degree for several reasons, You have figures such as ‘Imran b. Hittan, another Khariji, whose narrations are used by al-Bukhari, Abu Dawud, and al-Nasa’i.
__________

HADITH ARE OF DIFFERENT GRADES AND LEVELS

Ikramah is in those levels and he is a controversial figure due to his affiliation with the Khawarij. al-Dhahbi mentions this in al-Mizan al-I’tidal, entry #5716 (v.3, p.93).
__________

Abu Dawud said that from the people of desires (i.e. innovators), none are more correct in hadith than the Khawarij

(قال أبو داود : ليس في أهل الأهواء أصح حديثا من الخوارج ، ثم ذكر عمران بن حطان ، وأبا حسان الأعرج.).

__________

IKRAMAH ACCUSED OF BEING FROM THE KHAWARIJ

Al-Bukhari relied upon him because he believed that the Khawarij wouldn’t lie as for them lying is a sin and sin is kufr.

Muslim and Malik mostly avoided ‘Ikramah’s narrations except in a few instances.

_______

WITH ALL THAT SAID:

The Murjiah of the past could not be trusted, so the scholars of the Salaf would not rely on their words and opinions,

so why would you rely on the words of Murjiah today!

This article is in no way in support of the deviant Khawarij sect, their beliefs or understanding, rather it is to highlight that the scholars of the Salaf trusted them with Hadith.

Furthermore it is to show that there is in the Ummah a far worse deviant group that can never be trusted.
