Attend the Refutations of Bid’ah

It is reported from ‘Abdullah b. Mas’ûd – Allah be pleased with him – that he said:

For every bid’ah with which Islâm is plotted against, Allah has a beloved worshipper (walî) who refutes and repels it and speaks about its signs, so take the full opportunity of attending such places, and trust in Allah.

Ibn Waddâh, Al-Bid’ah p5.

    Wa alaykumus-salam,
    I haven't come across a commentary on this narration itself, but the scholars of the past mentioned it when encouraging each other to persevere in their refutation of heretics and innovations in religion. For example, Imam Asad b. Musa mentioned this narration when he wrote to Imam Asad b. Al-Farat congratulating him and encouraging him to continue his refutations of the heretics.
