On the tafseer of the ayah [EMQ 3: 106], "On the Day (Day of Judgement) when some faces will become white and some faces will become black..." Ibn Abbas (ra) said as recorded in Ibn Kathir and Tafseer Tabari, "Those whose faces will be bright will be Ahl us-Sunnah Wal Jama'ah and those whose faces will be dark will be Ahl ul-Bida'ah Wal Firqah." I thought ibn ‘Abbas first used the term.
