mazhab is musib in this particular issue.
as usual, you have no distinction between the general and the specific and generally try to get away with a brushing aside argument. and you have no dalil except your own fancy that this is musib.
imam ahmed's position was specific to yazid as he considered him a kafir; and this is conveyed by ibn al-jawzi, whom shah sahib ridiculed in another lecture. anyway, that does not entitle you to send la'anat specifically on anybody you please. you and your friends at yn are acting as if you are mujtahids and our elder scholars were incompetent whereas you folk don't know the basics of islam. the dunning-kruger paper was meant for you.
have you learnt yet that iddah is for women and not for men?

Imam Ghazali, Imam Bukhari and/or Shah Sahib.
indeed, imam ghazali or imam bukhari might have made mistakes, but:
a. these mistakes are not in the issues on which shah sahib excoriates them accusing them of bigotry.
and
b. their mistakes are not the same as shah sahib's - both in quality and quantity. apart from the fact that he is nowhere in comparison to them or their huge contribution to ahl as-sunnah.

i don't expect the fanatical admirers of shah sahib to change, but i hope those who are
munsif (judicious) to see that they are careful in taking from a man who makes so many mistakes. some are so sordid, where he overturns the usul/principles held by the entire jama'ah. i cannot understand how you can argue with that in spite of facts that can be verified easily.
for example, in a recent clip (which you demand a full version be posted; i will concede that it could be out of context) shah sahib says that Allah's name does not coincide with abu bakr or umar except with that of 'ali.
in which case, other sahabah who had hum-nam (similar to the name of Allah) should also be special
1. salam, the nephew of abdullah ibn salam
2. rafi'y, about 36 sahabah are named rafi'y
3. Hakam, about 19 sahabah
4. Hakim, about 9 sahabah
5. barr
6. Jabbar (although, RasulAllah sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam renamed one of them to Abdu'l Jabbar)
7. nafi'y, about 19 sahabah named thusly
8. ghaniy (though his being saHabi requires examination)
9. ali: there are about 13 sahabah named ali including mawla ali karramAllah wajhah.
the point is that, the distinction carved out of this non-issue is obviously non-existent. indeed, mawla ali had many superior attributes but just because that name coincided with one of the names of Allah makes him superior to abu bakr is certainly not a valid one.
if it is only a name that indicate greatness, then the first SaHabi to named as
siddiq is abu bakr as-siddiq; and the qur'an puts down the order thus:
Allah has favored upon the prophets and siddiqs and martyrs and the pious [v.69 from surah an-nisa]
this clearly demonstrates that after the nabiy, it is siddiq - and there is tawatur that RasulAllah sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam himself named abu bakr as
siddiq.
Allah ta'ala knows best.
