If I have ever wronged anyone, please forgive me for it, I do not wish to be held accountable for it before Allah on the Day of Judgement.

He رحمه الله also said:
“What they condemned me for and hated me over is something that every scholar in al-Sham, Yemen and elsewhere would affirm as the truth and the religion of Allah and His Messenger.“

Imam Ahmad did not negate the meaning. He negated all meanings except the revealed one, which is the apparent meaning!
It is like the Shahada: it negates all objects of worship except Allah.

Sulṭān Ṭughrul-Beg (455 AH), the founder of the Seljuk Sultanate, ordered the cursing of al-Ashʿarī (324 AH) from pulpits.
When al-Qushayrī (465 AH) and other deviants came to complain, Ṭughrul-Beg said:
“Al-Ashʿarī is, in my view, a greater innovator than the Muʿtazilah.”

Imām Ibn al-Qayyim al-Ḥanbalī on Using the Sounds of Birds to Justify Music:
“Among the astonishing things is their use of listening to the sounds of birds, such as the nightingale, bulbul, blackbird and turtle dove, as evidence for the permissibility of listening to singing, musical instruments, flutes and tambourines with jingles.
Is this not comparable to the analogy of those who said, ‘Trade is just like usury’?”

We live in a time when everyone wants to debate, argue, refute, and have the last word. People spend hours arguing over religious matters, yet how much of that knowledge has actually changed their hearts and actions?
Ibn Rajab رحمه الله mentions in Faḍl ʿIlm al-Salaf that some of the Salaf said:
“If Allah intends good for a servant, He opens for him the door of action and closes for him the door of argumentation. And if Allah intends evil for a servant, He closes for him the door of action and opens for him the door of argumentation.”
What a frightening statement.
A person may become occupied with defending the truth while neglecting to act upon it. He knows how to refute others, but has forgotten how to hold himself accountable.
The purpose of seeking knowledge is not to become victorious in every argument, but to become a better servant of Allah.
So ask yourself: Has your knowledge increased your worship, humility, and fear of Allah, or has it only increased your arguments?

The early Hanabilah were not Mufawwidah!
Ibn Shaqilla (d. 329 AH), refuting a Kullabi scholar:
“Had they meant other than their apparent meaning, he ﷺ would have clarified it, and the Companions would have asked him ﷺ about it.”

“Russia has sustained 450,000 casualties during the war so far”
“Wow, that’s a lot of KIA/ WIA.”
“No bro. 450,000 KIA casualties. KIA alone”

Proofs of Prophethood from Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله
Ibn Taymiyyah never wrote a single systematic book proving the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ. His method and arguments are spread across several works, each written for a different audience:
Kitab al-Nubuwwat: a critique of the theologians' and philosophers' theories of prophethood, defending the reality and necessity of revelation.
al-Jawab al-Sahih li-man Baddala Din al-Masih: a reply to a letter from Christians in Cyprus, setting out the proofs of the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ for a non Muslim audience.
Sharh al-'Aqidah al-Asfahaniyyah: a commentary on an Ash'ari creed, with chapters on the proofs of prophethood.
Further material is found in Dar' Ta'arud al-'Aql wa al-Naql, al-Radd 'ala al-Mantiqiyyin and Majmu' al-Fatawa.
This thread gathers those arguments in one place, with every quotation linked to its page on al-Maktabah al-Shamilah.
