4691. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The Qadariyyah[1] are the Zoroastrians of this Ummah. If they get sick, do not visit them, and if they die, do not attend (their funerals)." (Da'if)

Arabic text

4691 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي بِمِنًى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " الْقَدَرِيَّةُ مَجُوسُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ: إِنْ مَرِضُوا فَلَا تَعُودُوهُمْ، وَإِنْ مَاتُوا فَلَا تَشْهَدُوهُمْ "

Commentary

Zoroastrians believe in a god of light, or good, and a god of darkness or evil. Similarly, the Qadariyyah held the view that Allāh did not know what creatures would do before they do it, so if the creatures do evil, it is by their own initiation. While believing in Al-Qadar means that we believe that Allāh has pre-ordained all matters in every detail, with complete knowledge of it all before its existence, the good and the bad.
