Restrict yourself to the Sunnah, take the path of the Salaf


Words of advice from Imaam al-Awzaa'ee rahimahullaah:


Imaam al-Awzaa''ee said, "Patiently restrict yourselves to the sunnah, stop where the people stopped, say what they said, avoid what they avoided. Take to the path of the salaf, for indeed what was sufficient for them was sufficient for you." [Al-Hujjah of Ismail Abu Fadhl (6/A-B)]


عليك بأثارمن سلف وإن رفضك الناس, وإياك وأراء الرجال وإن زخرفوها لك بالأقوال

"Hendaklah kamu berpegang dengan athar-athar orang-orang salaf walaupun semua manusia mengusir (membantah/menolak) kamu. Dan jauhilah oleh kamu pendapat-pendapat orang walaupun mereka menghiasinya dengan ucapan-ucapan indah."

[Hold onto the narrations of the Salaf even if the people reject you. And avoid the opinions of people even if they beautify it with beautiful speech.]
