person who does not have any concern with his religion, and nor does he care for the loss of belief of his children, will make a man or woman of corrupt belief the teacher of his children. (Sirat-ul-Jinnan, vol. 7, pp. 20)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                  صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! On page 134, vol. 3 of Tafseer Sirat-ul-Jinnan, published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah it is stated: To go to the gathering of corrupt-belief people and to listen to their speeches are impermissible and Haraam and is an act of making yourself a person of corrupt belief and misguidance. No matter whether their speeches consist of Quranic Ayahs, blessed Ahadees, good pieces of advice it is not permissible at all to listen to them even with the presumption of listening to something good.

At times, it happens that a person of corrupt belief includes something of his corrupt belief in his speech under the pretence of the commentary and explanation of the Holy Quran and Hadees and then with this inclusion there lies a strong possibility of entering such things in the mind of those who listen to their speeches. That’s why the one who listens to the conversation and speech of a deviant and corrupt-belief person usually goes astray. Our pious predecessors used to be very cautious about their faith. Despite being very strong about their beliefs they did not like to listen to anyone with corrupt belief, even if the person of corrupt belief ensures it many times that he would only mention the Holy Quran [Ayahs from the Holy Quran] and blessed Ahadees.

Did not listen to even half word

Narrating the act of pious predecessors A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: Sayyiduna Sa’eed Bin Jabeer, who was the student of Abdullah Bin Abbas
رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُمَا, met a deviant on the way. The deviant said: I would like to say something. Sayyiduna Sa’eed bin Jabeer رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied: I do not want to listen. He humbly said: Only a single sentence. Keeping his thumb on the tip of his little finger he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: ‘وَ لَا نِصْفَ کَلِمَۃٍ’ (i.e.) not even a half word. People humbly said: What does it mean? He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied: He is amongst them, that is, amongst deviants.
