Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه on Taqleed (Blind following)..
Shaykh ‘Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Abdil-Wahhaab رحمه الله said (in explanation of the saying of Ibn `Abbas رضي الله عنه),
“Stones will soon fall upon you from the sky. I say: Allah‟s Messenger (ﷺ) said, and you say: Abu Bakr and `Umar said!”
“…This saying from Ibn `Abbas رضي الله عنه was a response to those who said to him: “Abu Bakr and `Umar رضي الله عنهما did not hold joining the `Umrah along with the Hajj (at-tamattu`), and they held that performing Hajj on its own (al-Ifraad) is better‟, or the like of that…
So in summary, it was because of this that Ibn `Abbas رضي الله عنه said, when they countered the Hadeeth with the opinion of Abu Bakr and `Umar: “Stones are about to fall upon you from the sky…”

NOTE: This was posted because there are Deobandis using quotes from sahabah or 4 Imams as proof to oppose the Prophetic commands, while Abu Bakr and Umar bin khattaab رضي الله عنهما are the best of creation after the Prophets, yet Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه is condemning and expressing complete disapproval of following there opinion over the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).
