1306 - Abu 'Abd Allah narrated to us, saying: 'Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Habib, from Abu al-Bakhtari, who said: Hudhayfah was asked about His saying: "They took their rabbis and their monks as lords besides Allah" [Al-Tawbah: 31]. Were they worshipping them? He replied: "No, but when they (the scholars and monks) permitted something for them, they deemed it permissible, and when they prohibited something for them, they deemed it prohibited."
