Izz ibn Abd al-Salam, the Shafi'i scholar and mujtahid Imam, writes:
If one sees someone who can fly through the air, walk on water, or inform one of the unseen, but who contravenes the Sacred Law or Shariah by committing an unlawful act without an extenuating circumstance that legally excuses it, or who neglects an obligatory act without lawful reason, one may know that such a person is a devil Allah has placed there as a temptation to the ignorant. Nor is it far-fetched that such a person should be one of the means by which Allah chooses to lead men astray, for the Antichrist (al-Dajjal) will bring the dead to life and make the living die, all as a temptation and affliction to those who would be misled
Al-Junayd, ěthe master of all the sufis' (Shaykh al-ta'ifah) was once told, There is a group who claim they arrive to a state in which legal responsibility (such as salaat, siyam) no longer applies to them.' They have arrived,' he replied, but to hell'
