Then the innovation of the Qadarites occurred, the Magians of this nation, who said: that God, Glory be to Him and Exalted is He, did not decree the actions of the servants, nor are they included under His will, nor are they created for Him, but their leaders and extremists said: that it is unknown to God, nor is it written in the preserved tablet, and that God does not know what people do except when it occurs, and they say: that the matter is anew; meaning: it is resumed, and these reached the last era of the Companions; for they reached the time of Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, and Abadah bin al-Samit and a group of the Companions, but it was at the end of the era of the Companions. Then the innovation of Irja occurred, and it reached the time of many of the Tabi'in, and the Murji'ah are those who say: it does not harm with faith, sin! You are a believer? You say: Yes, he says to you: the sin does not harm you with faith; you commit adultery, and you steal, and you drink wine, and you kill as long as you are a believer; so you are a believer complete in faith even if you commit every sin! But the Sheikh of Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said that the speech of the Qadarites and Murji'ah when the remnants of the Companions rejected it was about obedience and disobedience, the believer and the sinner, they did not speak about their Lord and His attributes. Then came a group of the intelligent! Among those who claim that the intellect is superior to the revelation, they said a statement between the two statements - the statement of the Murji'ah and the statement of the Khawarij - they said: the one who commits the major sins is not a believer as the Murji'ah said, nor is he a disbeliever as the Khawarij said, but he is in a position between two positions; like a man who traveled from one city to another, he became in the middle of the road; so he is neither in the city.
