walaykum asalaam

unfortunately i have also heard some salafi shaykhs making such statements...the statement suggests

1. the sahabas RA did not properly follow quran and sunnah...na'audhubillah
2. the salafi scholars are superior to the sahabas RA in knowledge...na'audhubillah

I have seen this brought up whenever the topic of Hanafis and beards comes up. They say that to trim the beard when it is longer than a fist length is not sunnah and that it is just the practice of Ibn Umar

. So, they say not to trim the beard at all, according to their understanding, completely overlooking the fact that they just accused Ibn Umar

of going against sunnah.
