What is the refutation on the one who says that there exists a difference of opinion amongst the Salaf with regards to leaving off the actions of the limbs in totality?
Question:
"What is the refutation, oh virtuous Shaykh, on the one who says that there exists a difference of opinion amongst the Salaf with regards to leaving off the actions of the limbs in totality and who says that there is no consensus in this matter?"
Answer:
"This one is a Kathaab (a big liar)! The Salaf did not differ. They did not differ with regards to the definition of Imaan (faith), that it is speech upon the tongue, belief with the heart and action with the limbs. This is their terminology and this is what has been reported from them generation after generation.
And whosoever opposes that from the Murji'ah, then no consideration is to be paid to his opposition because that which counts is following those who have preceded as they are closer to the truth than the others. Yes"
Shaykh Saalih bin Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan, may Allah preserve him

السائل: ماهو الرد يا فضلية الشيخ على من يقول بوجود الخلاف بين السلف في حكم تارك
عمل الجوارح بالكلية ويقول بأن المسألة ليس فيها إجماع ؟
الشيخ الفوزان: هذا كذاب! السلف لم يختلفوا، لم يختلفوا في تعريف الإيمان أنه قول باللسان واعتقاد بالقلب وعمل بالجوارح، هذه عبارتهم وهذا المروي عنهم جيلا بعد جيل، ومن خالف من المرجئة لا يلتفت إلى خلافه، لأن العبرة بمن سبق لأنهم أقرب إلى الحق من غيرهم نعم
