Haafidh al-Bazzaar said, depicting the opponents of ibn Taymiyyah, "You would not see a scholar opposing him (ibn Taymiyyah), dissuading from him, filled with hatred for him, except that he was the most greedy of them in gathering the worldly goods, the most cunning of them in acquiring them, the most ostentatious of them, the most desirous for reputationıand the most prolific of them in having lies on his tongue."
