Beware of the Jahmis and the Rafidis
Shaykul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah Al-Hanbali :
‘Abdul-Rahman Ibn Mahdi said: “There are only two groups to beware of: the Jahamis and the Rafidis.” These two groups are the worst of the followers of innovation, and from them stemmed the esoteric Qaramiti groups such as the Nusayris and Isma’ilis. Similar to them are those who believe in the unity of the Creator and the creation, because their ideas are akin to Pharaonic ideas. The Rafidis of the current age, as well as being Rafidis are also Jahamis and Qadaris, because in addition to their rafd [which has to do with their beliefs concerning the imams] they also follow the Mu’tazili school of thought, and some of them even follow the school of thought of the Isma’ilis and other similar heretics and those who believe in the unity of the Creator and the creation.
وقد قال عبدالرحمن بن مهدي : ( هما صنفان فاحذروهما : الجهمية ، والرافضة ) . فهذان الصنفان شرار أهل البدع ، ومنهم دخلت القرامطة الباطنية كالنصيرية ، والإسماعيلية ، ومنهم اتصلت الاتحادية ، فإنهم من جنس الطائفة الفرعونية . و “ الرافضة “ في هذه الأزمان [ هم ] مع الرفض جهمية قدرية ، فإنهم ضموا إلى الرفض مذهب المعتزلة ، ثم قد يخرجون إلى مذهب الإسماعيلية ، ونحوهم من أهل الزندقة ، والاتحاد.
