وَلِهَذَا قَالَ أَئِمَّة الْمُسلمين كسفيان الثَّوْريّ أَن الْبِدْعَة أحب إِلَى إِبْلِيس من الْمعْصِيَة
And this is why the leaders of the Muslims, like Sufyan al-Thawri, said that innovation is more beloved to Iblis than sin.
الثَّوْرِيِّ — al-Thawri. This noun carries 'the' and is an attached title naming Sufyan's school or lineage, agreeing in case with his name, here the genitive. It rounds out the example name.
