Who follows sufism?

Al Ithna ash'ariyah (Shaikh Hurr al Amili)

روي، عن الإمام الرضا لا يقول بالتصوف أحد إلا لخدعة أو ضلالة أو حماقة

It's narrated from the Imam ar Redha (as): "No one says/believes of the sufism except one (of these reasons) of deception or deviance or idiocy."

    Yes, that's very true. In fact even those who are not sufis themselves but just associate with the sufis or do similar stuff, even they have been strongly denounced.

    Due to lack of time I just put up this hadith and it's translation, but insha'Allah I'll soon put up the rest of the ahadith on this topic as well. Unfortunately many of 'ulama' practice 'irfan' and praise sufis, the deviance of such practices should be exposed.
