* وعن الإِمام الشافعي رحمه الله تعالى : أَنهُ رأَى قوما يتكلمون في شيء من الكلام ؛ فصاح ، وقال : (إِما أَنْ تُجاورونا بِخَيْر ، وَإمَا أَنْ تَقُوموا عنا) ([1]) .

* وقال إِمام أَهل السُّنَة أَحمد بن حنبل رحمه الله تعالى : (إِن أَهلَ البدَعِ والأَهْواءِ ؛ لاَ يَنْبَغي أَنْ يُسْتَعانَ بِهِم في شَيء مِنْ أمورِ المُسْلميَنَ ؛ فإن في ذَلِكَ أَعْظَم الضرر علَى الدين) ([2]) .
The Imaam of Ahlus-Sunnah ,Ahmad ibn Hanbal said : “Verily it is not befitting to seek anything regarding the matters of the religion ; from the people of innovations and desires ; verily in that (seeking assistance from them) is the worst harm to the religion. ”

“Beware of innovation. All of it. And do not consult even one of the people of innovations ; in your religion.”
* وقال الإمام عبد الرحمن بن مهدى رحمه الله تعالى : (إِنه لَيْسَ في أَصْحاب الأَهْواءِ شَر مِنْ أَصْحابِ جَهم ؛ يُريدون عَلى أَنْ يَقُولوا : لَيسَ في السَماءِ شَيء : أَرى وَاللهِ أَلَّا يُنَاكَحُوا ، وَلاَ يُوَارثُوا) ([4]) .
Al-Imaam Abdurrhman al-mahdee said : “Verily the worst of the people of desires are the people of Jahm (the Jahmiyyah). They intend to say : ‘there’s nothing above the sky.’
I view that they should not be accepted for marriage nor inheritance.”
* وقال أَبو قلابة البصري رحمه الله تعالى : (لاَ تُجالسوا أَهلَ الأَهْواء ؛ فَإِنكم إن لَمْ تَدْخلوا فيما دَخَلوا فيه لبسوا عَلَيْكُم مَا تَعْرِفون) ([5]) .
