سلفي‏گري ديرينه و نوين

Ancient and new Salafism

مقاله حاضر به تبيين معناي صحيح قرن و سلف پرداخته و در ضمن آن به برخي از شبهات ابن‏تيميه و پيروان او پاسخ گفته است. مقصود از قرن در اصطلاح قرآن، جمعي از انسان‏ها هستند كه در شرايط خاصي از نظر دين يا فرهنگ و يا سياست زندگي كرده و با هم قدر مشتركي دارند. براين اساس مقصود پيامبر اكرم9 از قرن در حديث «خيرالقرون» نيز عصري است كه اسلام در آن طلوع و گسترش يافت. ابن‏تيميه و پيروان او، با اخذ معناي جديد قرن (به معناي صد سال) ملاك حق و باطل را رفتار و گفتار مسلمين صدر اسلام دانسته و براي اعصار پس از آن حجيتي قايل نيستند. اين در حالي است كه اولاً معناي قرن در اصطلاح قرآن مقيد به زمان خاصي نيست. ثانياً مسلمين صدر اسلام داراي مشرب‏ها و روشهاي مختلفي بودند كه نمي‏توان به همه آنها مراجعه نمود.

The present article has attended to verify the true meanings of “qarn” and “salaf” and has answered simultaneously to some of doubts posed by Ibn Taymiyyah and his followers. “Qarn” in the Qur’anic usage is a group of people who live in a special condition concerning religion or culture or politics and have something in common. Accordingly, what the Prophet meant by “qarn”, in the narration of “khair al-qurun” (the best of generations) is also the era in which Islam emerged an expanded. Taking the new meaning of “qarn” that is one hundred years, Ibn Taymiyya and his followers have taken the sayings and actions of Muslims who lived in the beginning of Islam as the criterion for making a distinction between right and wrong and have not recognized an authority for the time after it. While firstly the meaning of “qarn” as used in the Qur’an, is not conditioned to a particular time. Secondly, the Muslim who lived in the beginning of Islam had different schools and methods to all of which can not be referred.
