Imaam Ibn Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him)
stated:
Muhammad bin Aslam At-Toosee was an Imaam whose
leadership was agreed upon in addition to his status as the most compliant with
the Sunnah in his time to the extent that he said: “There is no Sunnah of the
Messenger that will be conveyed to me except that I will act upon it. And I
desired to circumambulate the House (Ka‘bah) riding, but I was unable to do
that.”
One of people of knowledge was asked in his
time about the great majority that was mentioned in a hadeeth thus: “If people differ, adhere to the great
majority.” Then he replied: “Muhammad bin At-Toosee is the great majority.”
By Allah, he spoke the truth. If there is a
scholar of the Sunnah in an era who calls to it, he is a proof, consensus and
the great majority. He is the way of the believers that Allah will leave whoever
leaves it and follows other than it with what he has chosen and admit him into
Hell Fire, and evil is that destination.
