said:
“Make yourself patient upon the Sunnah, stop
where the people stopped, speak with what they spoke with, and refrain from
what they refrained from. And follow the path of your Righteous Predecessors
(Salafus Saaliheen) for verily, sufficient for you is that which was sufficient
for them.”

What do you know about Salafiyyah?
This is a pamphlet regarding the Salafi Dawah which was written by Ash-Shaykh Hasan Ibn Qaasim ar-Raymee حفظه الله, and translated by our brother Faisal, one of the Salafi brothers in Toronto, Canada. May Allaah reward them for their efforts.

Dying while Adhering to the Sunnah.
From
Mu’tamar bin Sulayman رحمه
الله who said:
‘I visited my
father while I was heartbroken and he said: ‘What is wrong?’
I said: ‘My
friend has died.’
He asked: ‘Did
he die upon the Sunnah?’
I answered: ‘Yes.’
He said: ‘Then
do not worry about him.’

The dangers of bid’ah
Sufyan
ath-Thawri رحمه
الله
said,
"Innovations
are more beloved to Shaytan than sin, since a sin may be repented from but an
innovation is not repented from."
[Sharh Usul I'tiqad
of al-Lalika'i (d. 414H) no.238, the great 4th century Imam who wrote on the
belief of Ahlus-Sunnah.]
This is because the innovator believes he is doing something good and therefore sees no need to repent.
He also said,
" ... so
cling to the original state of affairs,"
meaning the way of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم, and his companions.
