# Abdul Rahman Hassan's clip: the first Khariji, protest, and never criticising rulers - URL: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/krigi3omjd4/s/1/ - Date: 2021-02-22 · Kind: lesson · Transcript tier: machine · Recording: Ustadh Abdul Rahman Hassan Misquoting Hadith & Invite Challenge | Mufti Abu Layth (0:02–5:30) - Status: a view quoted in order to be discussed, not a position held - Watch from the start of the segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrIGi3OmJD4&t=2s - Recording page: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/krigi3omjd4/ **Topics:** Responses to critics; Public law and governance; Sects, sectarianism and takfir **Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth plays and mocks a clip in which Abdul Rahman Hassan presents protest against rulers as the mentality of the first Khariji, reading it as a defence of the Saudi rulers. ## Longer summary Mufti Abu Layth plays a clip of Ustadh Abdul Rahman Hassan saying that the first Khariji was the man who came out against the Prophet, that he was the first to bring the mentality of protesting, rising against the leader and voicing one's opinion, and that he was the one of whom the Prophet said 'I will kill his lineage'. Mufti replays the clip several times and answers with sarcasm, saying he melts before such sincerity. He sums up the lesson he hears in it as never to criticise the Saudi king or rulers, and to treat publicly voicing an opinion against them as kufr. He mocks it as teaching people how to cement the throne of Muhammad bin Salman. ## Sources and names cited - Abdul Rahman Hassan - Khawarij - Muhammad bin Salman (MBS) - kufr ## Transcript (machine tier, 0:02–5:30) [0:01] so this was abdulrahman Hassan he was who the first hariji was who the first Clarity who came out with the prophet he said to the prophet area who was the first Friday to the head of the origin did not take a sword he went against the prophet my statement [0:30] he's the first person who brought the mentality of protesting Uprising against the leader mentioning your opinion the first person who said that now here one moment tacos so here will start abdulrahman Hassan is educating the ummah ummah ummah always needs to be educated you know this is why [1:04] the kind of sincerity I see in the in their hearts yeah I melt in front of it melt like ice cream on a hot Summer's Day [Laughter] I feel like I need to really sit here in this you're not like in a state of like Salah like I'm praying nothing like listening to this wisdom not of course so here ustad abdulrahman Hassan [1:41] in trying to support why we should never criticize [Music] never criticize who who people the something is like oh are you talking about Allah criticize should never quit people who make false claims against the prophet we should never criticize the Saudi king ah never criticized the Saudi king you shouldn't even speak out against rulers and in fact the first khawarage [2:20] the real extremist in Islam were in the time of the prophet he according to ustad's claimatu as you've heard and and protesting was that sign of rebellion borderline so let's hear that part again man brothers please Brothers listen carefully mentioning your opinion the mentioning the person who said that from this ummah who the prophet said I will kill his lineage [2:59] protesting upright protesting he's the first person who brought the mentality of protesting protesting against the leader mentioning your opinion the first person who said that from this Uber who the prophet said I will kill him Prophet you said I will kill his knowledge is who from this Uber who the prophet said I will kill his lineage the prophet said I will kill his lineage [Music] so according to him [3:37] the prophet said that from this Uber who the prophet said I will kill his lineage I will kill his lilies who right so people here it's hard to marry class are you are you ustad is trying to teach us to cement the Throne of MBA sorry sorry how to preserve our Iman [4:15] [Laughter] how to you know like how you go into rukul how to kind of gusado you know like you you know Browning you know you yeah he's teaching us how to um really uh help help our beloved MBS all right so in Saudi Arabia and never criticize never criticize the [4:51] Saudi Kings God forbidden you know we sometimes we make this mistakes you know so brother we are being taught not to ever criticize or publicly publicly voice your opinion against them this is tobatoba this is kufar so whilst ustad abdulrahman [5:29] in the Zeal of Iman you know defending the royalty blood boils sometimes you know MBS MBS where are you here where are you he's like he's got his you know some people they have their heads so far up somebody's uh derriere so in this moment of passion and zeal ous he got so carried away he accidentally just threw the prophet under the bus huh ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment KrIGi3OmJD4/s/1. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/krigi3omjd4/s/1/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
