#differing

If this is for the Companions, then how much more so for other than them from the Scholars of the Dīn who have come after them. Yet, we find some using age, virtue, status as the deciding factor of what's correct when Scholars have differed instead of looking at the proofs.

“The Sahābah (may Allāh be pleased with them) were the least (of the people who fell into) Fitan (trials and tribulations) compared to the rest of those who came after them. وَالصَّحَابَةُ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ - كَانُوا أَقَلَّ فِتَنًا مِنْ سَائِرِ مَنْ بَعْدِهِمْ،

Indeed, the more the era (of a people) was further away from the Prophethood, فَإِنَّهُ كُلَّمَا تَأَخَّرَ الْعَصْرُ عَنِ النُّبُوَّةِ

The more the separation and differing became abundant.” كَثُرَ التَّفَرُّقُ وَالْخِلَافُ.

Him: I love her, but it can only be platonic. I think her beauty is unparalleled, but it's a beauty I can never touch, never see unclothed, never taste, never feel beneath my hands. She is pure love and sweetness, and deserves to be loved by someone who can commit his whole life to her. If only we had met sooner, if things could be different--
