Brother David, This time I will reply to you without getting angry. Why are you intent on jsut picking and selecting hadith that suits you and your way of thinking? Does it not say in the Quran "REMEMBER ALLAH ABUNDANTLY". How would one do that then? You cant just pick and choose a streamlined version of deen, that you may or may not through no fault of your own, deem it as correct, but then tread over the sufis like it is your given right. How do you expect Mohammed SAW to intercede on your behalf on yawm ul Qiyamah when there is no feeling of love or joy on the mention of his name (this is the feeling I have when I speak with salafis, not generally you). Do you know what the state of mankind will be on THE DAY??? The only prophet who will be given that status to intercede is Muhammad SAW, yet somehow it is wrong to mention or do his dhikr, (or like you said the whacko jacko sufi stuff)
