Most People Love Controversy for the Sake of Controversy & Are Unappeasable

🖊️Abu Sulayman Al Khattābi ( رحمه الله) said:

وَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْحُكَمَاءِ: الشَّرُّ فِي النَّاسِ طِبَاعٌ، وَحُبُّ الْخِلَافِ لَهُمْ عَادَةٌ، وَالْجَوْرُ فِيهِمْ سُنَّةٌ

Some of the wise have said: "Evil is inherent in the nature of people, the love of differing is their norm, and injustice among them is a tradition.

وَلِذَلِكَ تَرَاهُمْ يُؤْذُونَ مَنْ لَا يُؤْذِيهِمْ وَيَظْلِمُونَ مَنْ لَا يَظْلِمُهُمْ وَيُخَالِفُونَ مَنْ يَنْصَحُهُمْ

For this reason, you see them harming those who do not harm them, wronging those who do not wrong them, and opposing those who advise them."…

وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: إِنَّ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُولِعُ بِالْخِلَافِ أَبَدًا حَتَّى إِنَّهُ يَرَى أَنَّ أَفْضَلَ الْأُمُورِ أَنْ لَا يُوَافِقَ أَحَدًا وَلَا يُجَامِعَهُ عَلَى رَأْي وَلَا يُوَاتِيهِ عَلَى مَحَبَّةٍ

…And some of them said: "Among people, there are those who are perpetually obsessed with differing, to the extent that they believe the best course of action is never to agree with anyone, never to align with anyone’s opinion, and never to unite with them in affection.

وَمَنْ كَانَ هَذَا عَادَتَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُبْصِرُ الْحَقَّ وَلَا يَنْصُرُهُ وَلَا يَعْتَقِدُهُ دِينًا وَمَذْهَبًا إِنَّمَا يَتَعَصَّبُ لِرَأْيِهِ وَيَنْتَقِمُ لِنَفْسِهِ وَيَسْعَى فِي مَرْضَاتِهَا

Whoever has this habit will neither perceive the truth, support it, nor adopt it as a belief or doctrine. Instead, they are biased towards their own opinion, seeking vengeance for themselves, and striving to satisfy their own desires.

حَتَّى إِنَّكَ لَوْ رُمْتَ أَنْ تَرْضَاهُ وَتَوَخَّيْتَ أَنْ تُوَافِقَهُ عَلَى الرَّأْيِ الَّذِي يَدْعُوكَ إِلَيْهِ تَعَمَّدَ لِخِلَافِكَ فِيهِ وَلَمْ يَرْضَ بِهِ حَتَّى يَنْتَقِلَ إِلَى نَقِيضِ قَوْلِهِ الْأَوَّلِ

Indeed, if you tried to please them and endeavored to agree with them on the opinion they were promoting, they would deliberately oppose you in that very matter and would not be satisfied until they shifted to the opposite of their first stance.

فَإِنْ عُدْتَ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى وَفَاقهِ عَادَ إِلَى خِلَافِكَ

If you then returned to agreeing with them, they would return to opposing you.

قَالَ أَبُو سُلَيْمَانَ فَمَنْ كَانَ بِهَذِهِ الْحَالِ فَعَلَيْكَ بِمُبَاعَدَتِهِ وَالنِّفَارِ عَنْ قُرْبِهِ فَإِنَّ رِضَاهُ غَايَةٌ لَا تُدْرَكُ وَمَدَى شَأْوِهِ لَا يُلْحَقُ

Abu Sulayman said: So, if someone is in such a state, you should distance yourself from them and avoid being near them, for their satisfaction is an unattainable goal, and the extent of their stubbornness cannot be matched."
