مِنَ الَّذِينَ خَالَفُوا السُّنَّةَ وَالْجَمَاعَةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الْبِدْعَةَ وَالضَّلَالَةَ.
Among those who opposed the Sunnah and the united community and followed innovation and error.
The Sunni and communal path here rests upon following religious evidence, properly affirming Allah's attributes, and holding a balanced understanding of human acts. Doctrines contrary to that path are disavowed rather than adopted.
وَنَحْنُ مِنْهُمْ بُرَآءُ وَهُمْ عِنْدَنَا ضُلَّالٌ وَأَرْدِيَاءُ.
We dissociate ourselves from them; we regard their beliefs as misguided and blameworthy.
Dissociation means refusing false doctrines and maintaining a clear religious commitment; it does not entail claiming personal knowledge of the hidden inner state of every individual.
