He unrightfully claimed for himself the status of ijtihad and ignorantly dealt with the issues of the Religion. Consequently, he perverted and belied the Book of Allah, the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ, and contravened the scholarly consensus ('ijma^) in cases pertaining to both the fundamentals and the ramifications of the Religion.

Al-Furu^ deals with the Islamic matters other than those of belief (‘Usul…

  Abu Hurayrah, may Allah accept his deeds, said: the Prophet ﷺ  said: ‏إِنَّ سُورَةً مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ ثَلاثُونَ آيَةً شَفَعَتْ لِرَجُلٍ حَتَّى غُفِرَ لَهُ وَهِيَ سُورَةُ ‏ ‏تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ This means : ‘A Surah in the Qur'an composed of thirty Ayas interceded for one who maintained reciting it until he was forgiven—It is Surah Tabarak; تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ.'
