[From The Fundamental Principles Of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaa'ah Is That No One Is To Be Loved And Helped For Being Disobedient To Allah, Rather All Of That Is To Be Hated For The Sake Of Allah]
Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah) stated: 'From the Sunnah is that you do not help anyone in disobedience to Allah, whether they be parents or any of the creation. There is no obedience to a human in disobedience to Allah and no one is to be loved for that (i.e. disobedience to Allah). Rather all of that is to be hated for (the sake of Allah), the Blessed and Most High.'[1]
Concerning the statement of Imaam Barbahaaree: 'From the Sunnah is that you do not help anyone in disobedience to Allah.'
Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan commented saying:
This is a fundamental principle from the fundamental principles of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaa'ah deduced from the statement of the [Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam)] that, 'there is no obedience to the creation in disobedience to the Creator.'
And he (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: 'Obedience is only in that which is good'
So whoever commands disobedience to Allah is not to be obeyed. He/she is not to be obeyed in disobedience, be it your father, or your mother, or from the closest of the people to you, or a Ruler or a King. He/she is not to be followed in disobedience. Allah (Ta-aalaa) mentioned about the Jews and Christians when they followed (their Rabis and Monks) in disobedience:
'They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allaah (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allaah)'[9:31]
And concerning the statement of Imaam Barbahaaree: 'Whether they be parents or any of the creation' Allah (Ta-aalaa) said about the parents:
'And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two years give thanks to Me and to your parents, unto Me is the final destination. But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not, but behave with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him who turns to Me in repentance'[31:14-15]
Allah (Ta-aalaa) said:
'And We have enjoined on man to be good and dutiful to his parents, but if they strive to make you join with Me (in worship) anything (as a partner) of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not. Unto Me is your return, and I shall tell you what you used to do.' [29:8]
There is no obedience to the creation in disobedience to the Creator no matter who that may be, even if he/she is the closest of the people to you such as the two parents, then what about other than them.
To be continued....Inshaa-Allaah

A Reminder To The People Of Tahazzub
So after you have understood this O Sunni Athari, then ask Allah for Tawfeeq to act upon it with Ikhlaas and firmness. We ask Allah to protect us from following desires, for there are many who understand this principle yet they still defend and cling to those personalities, figure heads and Masaajid upon clear error and Tahazzub.
And as for those amongst the diseased partisans who mock and question the Salafis when they show their displeasure towards those who persist upon error, then indeed their affair is extremely dangerous. How can they mock at a people who follow the Ulama of hadeeth and Sunnah and strive to apply their verdicts regarding this very important principle of our Religion brought to our attention by Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah)
You (diseased partisans) mock at the Salafis of Maktabah Salafiyyah and their brothers in the various maraakiz because they have abandoned those who have deviated in some affairs of the Religion and have been fabricating lies against the likes of Sheikh Rabee and others. Indeed, your mockery of the Salafis is nothing else but clear error and misguidance.
O diseased partisans! Do you want us to cling to those individuals who have slandered the Ulama just as you have persisted in defending the personalities upon error at Markaz Jamiat Ahle Hadith Uk and elsewhere?
Do you think that by labeling the salafis as those who abandon people at random the people will flee from the haqq? Indeed, Allah is the One Who guides to correctness and we ask Him for Tawfeeq, so that we are from those who follow the Ulama whenever they clarify and establish the Haqq.

The Wise Man Does Not Argue Or Seek To Overcome With Stratagem
Al-Hasan (al-Basree) said, 'The wise man does not argue or seek to overcome with stratagem rather he propagates his wisdom. If it is accepted he praises Allah and if it is rejected he praises Allah'[1]
Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah) commented on the above statement saying: Concerning the statement of Imaam Barbahaaree that Hasan al-Basree said: 'The wise man does not argue or seek to overcome with stratagem....'
Al-Hasan Al-Basree: He is Al-Hasan Ibnu Abil Hasan Al-Basree the well known Imaam from amongst the Taażbiżeen. He said,
'The wise man', that is the one who possesses wisdom, and wisdom is to place something in its (proper) place. Likewise, the wise one means the one with understanding. Therefore, two meanings are intended by Al-Hakeem (the wise one). The first intended meaning is one who places the affairs in their (proper) place. And it is also intended to mean the one who has understanding, because wisdom is understanding and knowledge of what is intended by Allah and His Messenger (i.e. the understanding of the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger).
He (i.e. the wise one) 'does not argue'. He does not debate (with) a fruitless debate that is devoid of benefit.
'And he (i.e. the wise one) does not seek to overcome with stratagem'. He does not seek to overcome the people of falsehood with stratagem and to make them submit. 'His wisdom', that is he propagates his knowledge and if accepted he praises Allah. This is what is sought after. And if it (i.e. his knowledge/wisdom) is not accepted, he is absolved of his responsibility and the proof is conveyed.
And concerning the statement, 'He (i.e. the wise one) praises Allah'; because he established and conveyed the proof, and fulfilled that which is required of him, and the guiding of the hearts is in the hands of Allah (subhaanahu-wata-aalaa).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Reminder To The Salafi Tullaabul Ilm And Dużaat In The Various Maraakiz Of Salafiyyah
So O you Salafi Tullaabul Ilm and Du'aat! Convey that which the scholars have established of proofs in all aspects of this blessed Manhajus Salafi. Do this with dedication and reliance upon Allah. You cannot guide the hearts of the people of Tahazzub and Bidah, rather convey the proofs and be steadfast. We ask Allah to keep our feet and yours firm upon this blessed Manhajus Salafi. We ask Him (subhaanah) to protect us and our families from Shirk, Bidah, Tahazzub and Tamyee.

And concerning the statement of Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah): 'This is the knowledge of the Religion, so look from whom you take your Religion'
Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan commented on the above statement saying: Learning is to be (acquired) from the Scholars of Ahlus Sunnah and not from the scholars of innovation.
And concerning the statement of Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah): 'Do not accept hadith except from those whose witness you would accept'
Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) comments on the above statement saying: Do not accept from the narrators of hadith, except (from) one whose testimony you would accept with a judge; because numerous are the weak narrators and the lies with respect to the narrations. This (i.e. not accepting hadeeth, except from the trustworthy narrators) is with regards to the one who has knowledge of the science of hadith. As for the one who does not have knowledge of the science of hadith, then he is to return to the authentic books of the Sunnah.
And concerning the statement of Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah): 'So look and see if he is a person of the Sunnah with comprehension and is truthful then write from him and if not then leave him'
Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan comments on the above statement saying: This (i.e. above statement of Imaam Barbahaaree) is a clarification of his statement, 'This is the knowledge of the Religion.'
So look to the one you learn from and narrate from. If you see him to be a person of the Sunnah and steadfastness, then write down hadith from him and narrate from him. And if he is the opposite of that, then do not take hadith from him; because there is one who narrates about the Messenger of Allah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) whilst being a liar, and how numerous are the fabricators!
This (i.e. narrating from the people of Sunnah and steadfastness and not narrating from others) is with regards to narrating hadith with its chain, but as for with regards to transmitting hadith, then return to the authentic books of the Sunnah.[The End]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW NUMEROUS ARE THE FABRICATORS!
A Reminder To The Salafi Tullaabul Ilm And The Dużaat In The Various Maraakiz Of Salafiyyah
O You Salafi Tullaabul Ilm and Du'aat, may Allah keep your feet firm in the presence of the numerous fabricated methodologies and their upholders. Follow the path of your salafus saaleh and the path of the trustworthy scholars of today, who are active in teaching the people the correct aqeedah and manhaj whilst unveiling the fabrications of the people of misguidance and bidah.
Follow the footsteps of the trustworthy scholars of today, and do not be lax in transmitting the refutations of the scholars against the fabrications of the contemporary fabricators from amongst the qutbees, soroorees, ikhwaanees, soofees and other deviants.
Indeed, you are well aware of the steadfastness and service of Sheikh Rabee and others (may Allah preserve them) in this field. So follow their footsteps for the sake of Allah and transmit that which will safeguard ahlus sunnah from the fabrications of the people of hizbiyyah and their evil plans to destroy the correct walaa wal baraa.
Follow the footsteps of the trustworthy scholars like sheikh Rabee and others in clarifying the evil intentions of the people of Tamyee, and the deceit and ignorance of those who wish to take a middle path between the Salafis and the hizbies.
O Salafi Tullaabul Ilm and Du'aat! Follow the footsteps of the trustworthy scholars. Speak the haqq on the Manaabir (Pulpits)and when transmitting the works of the scholars in the masaajid of Salafiyyah. Fear not the blame of the blamers.
May Allah keep your feet firm upon the haqq and brighten your faces in this life and the next.

Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah) then stated:
'As for today, people should be tested about the Sunnah'
Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) commented on the above statement saying:
In his time (i.e. in Imaam Barbahaaree's time) there came about testing about the Sunnah because of the numerous sects of misguidance that claimed Islaam, so that it is known (with regards) to who is upon the Sunnah and not to be deluded (with regards) to one's claim to Islaam.
Therefore, the one who loves the people of Sunnah, then this is evidence that he is of the people of goodness. And the one who loves the people of innovation, then this is evidence that he is of the people of evil.[The End]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Reminder To The Tullaabul Ilm And Du'aat Of Salafiyyah
May Allah keep your feet firm upon the haqq O You Tullaabul Ilm and Du'aat of Salafiyyah in the various Maraakiz of Salafiyyah! You must continue to speak the haqq with regards to those who ally with the hizbies and those who think that they can take a middle way between the Salafis and the hizbies.
Indeed, we are amazed by the short-sighted ones; those who do not approve of advising the people against those stubborn individuals who are proud to declare their allegiance to the people of Tahazzub. So when the Salafi speaks the haqq about an individual who keeps the company of the people of Tahazzub amongst the affiliates of Jamiat Ahle hadith UK, you find the short-sighted ones putting up a defense for such people.
These short-sighted ones wish to afflict the brothers with their weaknesses, as a good brother says, 'Such ones do not rock the boat in order to get things straight for the sake of Allah'. So we ask the brothers to speak the haqq whenever they are required to do so. It is stated in the hadith Qudsi collected by Imaam Ibn Maajah with a sound chain:
'Let not any one of you belittle himself. They said: O Messenger of Allah, how can any one of us belittle himself? He said: He finds a matter concerning Allah about which he should say something, and he does not say [it], so Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says to him on the Day of Resurrection: What prevented you from saying something about such-and-such and such-and-such? He say: [It was] out of fear of people. Then He says: Rather it is I Whom you should more properly fear.
So, fear not the people and let not the anger or displeasure of anyone on this earth prevent you from speaking the haqq. If speaking the haqq leaves you with few friends, then so be it. And busy yourself with those who bring you closer to the correct understanding and those who always have a word of advice for you with regards to holding onto the sunnah with your molar teeth.
To be continued......Inshaa-Allaah

Setting Up Trials In Islaam
Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah) said:
To set up trials in Islaam is an innovation. As for today, people should be tested about the Sunnah, because of his saying, 'This is the knowledge of the Religion, so look from whom you take your Religion' and, 'Do not accept hadeeth except from those whose witness you would accept.' So look and see if he is a person of the Sunnah with comprehension and is truthful then write from him and if not then leave him.[1]
Concerning Imaam Barbahaaree's statement: 'To set up trials in Islaam is an innovation. As for today, people should be tested about the Sunnah'
Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan comments on the above statement saying:
The initial affair with regards to the Muslim is that he is (held) to be upon goodness and to have a good suspicion of him, as long as he does not manifest that which is in opposition to that. This is the principle, so the author [i.e. Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah)] says: As long as (nothing else) other than good is manifested from the Muslim, then we are to approve of this goodness from him and this is even the case with the munaafiq.
The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) accepted that which was apparent from the hypocrites and he entrusted to Allaah (subhaanahu Wata-aalaa) that which was hidden about them. So as long as nothing else is manifested from him, then you are to have a good suspicion of him. However, if hatred for the Sunnah and the People of Sunnah is manifested from him; then beware of him. This is the meaning of Imaam Barbahaaree's statement 'To set up trials in Islaam is an innovation', meaning; any muslim from whom no evil is manifested is not to be tested.

Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (rahimahullaah) said:
''whoever honors an innovator has assisted in the demolition of Islaam.' Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan said, because innovation is contrary to Islaam. If you give support to an innovator, then indeed you have assisted in the demolition of Islaam, because Islaam is the Sunnah and the Sunnah is Islaam. So it is obligatory upon the person that he does not honor the people of innovation, and that he neither praises nor commends them; as we hear at present the praises for the kuffaar, the Jews and the Christians.... [Source:Ittihaaful Qaaree Bitta'liqaat Alaa Sharh As-Sunnah Lil Imaam Barbahaaree, page:323, Vol:2]
Imaam Ahmad (rahimahullaah) said in a letter of his to Muta-wakkil (rahimahullaah):
Among other things, indeed it is not permissible to seek the aid and assistance of the people of innovations and desires in anything regarding the affairs of the Muslims because that is of greater harm upon the religion, this being in accordance with the opinion of the Ameerul Mumineen (May Allaah lengthen his reign) with regards to holding on firmly to the Sunnah and to be in opposition to the people of innovation.
[Source: 'Imtihaan As-Sunnee Min Bid'ee (page: 76)]
The end.....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We ask Allaah to grant us Tawfeeq to act upon all aspects of the Religion with Ikhlaas and Firmness.

Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (rahimahullaah) said: 'Whoever sits in a road with a person of innovation, take a different road'
Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) commented on the above statement saying: Be it even in a road; if you see him in a road do not go with him. Do not accompany them in a road nor on a journey, for they will have an effect on you. Then where does this leave those who go with the innovators and accompany them in the pretext of dawah?

Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (rahimahullaah) said: 'Do not sit with a person of innovation, for I fear that curses will descend upon you'
Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) commented on the above statement: 'Do not sit with a person of innovation, for I fear that curses will descend upon you';---because punishment, anger and deviation descend upon a person of innovation, so it is feared that you will be afflicted with some of what afflicts him, and for that reason Allaah (Jalla-Wa-Alaa) stated:
'And when you (Muhammad) see those who engage in a false conversation about Our Verses (of the Qurżaan) by mocking at them, stay away from them till they turn to another topic. And if shaitaan causes you to forget, then after the remembrance sit not you in the company of those people who are the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers)'6:68
And Allaah (Ta-aalaa) said to the believers:
'And it has already been revealed to you in the Book (this Qur'aan) that when you hear the Verses of Allaah being denied and mocked at, then sit not with them, until they engage in a talk other than that; (but if you stayed with them) certainly in that case you would be like them. Surely, Allaah will collect the hypocrites and disbelievers all together in Hell.'4:140
In this is a warning against sitting with the people of misguidance and desires, and against sitting, accompanying and listening to their speech or reading their books. So it is upon you to be distant from these affairs. Wal-laahul Musta-aan, at present the one who acts upon this (i.e. the one who keeps away from the people of misguidance and desires) is said to be a secluded person and a boycotter, and that he is one who harbors doubt against the people.

Deprived Of Wisdom
Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (rahimahullaah) said: 'Whoever sits with a person of innovation has not been given wisdom'
Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (rahimahullaah) commented on the above statement saying:
He (i.e. the one who sits with an innovator) is deprived of wisdom, and wisdom is understanding of the Religion of Allaah. The one who sits with ahlul bidah is deprived of understanding of the Religion as punishment for him.
[Source:Ittihaaful Qaaree Bitta'liqaat Alaa Sharh As-Sunnah Lil Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah) by Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) (page: 318, Vol: 2)]

Imaam Sufyaan Ath-Thawree (rahimahullaah) said: 'whoever lends an ear to a person of innovation, has left the protection of Allaah and is entrusted to it (i.e. to the innovation)'
Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) commented on the above statement: 'whoever lends an ear to a person of innovation, has left the protection of Allaah:'
The hadith about fleeing from ahlul bidah and not to sit with them, nor to accompany them has proceeded; so whoever accompanies them and listens to their statements and does not reject them, will be destroyed alongside them. It is not permissible for you to lend an ear and listen to them whilst saying: 'I am a believer with strong Eemaan and I am well acquainted with the aqeedah, and they (i.e. the innovators) cannot have an effect on me.' This is self deception (and) trial for the people; for being distant from (the innovators) and not listening to their false statements is Safety. As for lending your ear to them, then you will become worthy of being put to trail alongside them.
And concerning of Sufyaan: 'And is entrusted to it (i.e. to the innovation)'
Sheikh Saaleh Al Fawzaan commented; because Allaah safeguards the one who seeks safety with Him but the one who listens to innovation is worthy of being put to trial by it. He is entrusted to it and is removed from the Protection of Allaah (subhaanahu-Wata-Aalaa).

The Conferences Of The Salafis Are Free From Those Whom The Ulama Of Salafiyyah Have Warned Against With Clear Daleel
The Conferences Of The Salafis Are Free From The Open Callers To Hizbiyyah
The Conferences Of The Salafis Are Free From Those Who Accompany And Sit With The People Of Bidah
The Conferences Of The Salafis Are Free From Those Who Praise The People Of Bidah And Desires
Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (rahimahullaah) said:
'If I see a man from Ahlus Sunnah it is as if I have seen a man from the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam). If I see a man of innovation, it is as if I have seen a man from the hypocrites.'
Sheikh Saaleh al Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) commented on the above statement of Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad: 'If I see a man from Ahlus Sunnah it is as if I have seen a man from the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam).'; because he (i.e. the man of sunnah) is one who follows the Companions; and because the one who follows them is from them and he is as Imaam Maalik says: 'They will be in the company of those whom Allaah has bestowed His Grace' [4:69]. Therefore, whoever follows them (i.e. the Companions) is from them.
And concerning the statement of Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad: 'If I see a man of innovation, it is as if I have seen a man from the hypocrites.'
Sheikh Saaleh al Fawzaan commented on the above statement saying: If you see a man from the people of innovations and desires--those in opposition to Ahlus Sunnah, it as if you have seen a man from the hypocrites--those who claim an apparent Islaam whilst they are disbelievers in secret, wishing to be deceitful. So the people of desires and bidah have a resemblance to the hypocrites, because they show an apparent Islaam, however they innovate and do not follow the Sunnah. This is a characteristic of the hypocrites.

Sheikh Saaleh al Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) continues.....
And at present, when someone desires something he would say, 'such and such a person has given a verdict on this (affair)' without considering whether it has a basis in the Book and the Sunnah. And you say to him, 'this verdict is wrong.' He says, 'it has nothing to do with me' as long as the verdict was given by such and such (person).
And if the verdict is not in agreement with his desires, he says, 'this verdict is not correct or it is a harsh one.' And they gather lies and the mistakes of the scholars in a book and present it to the people, and spread it amongst the people with their assumptions, saying: 'the Religion of Islaam is easy. It does not make things uneasy for the people.'
And when it is said to them, 'examine it (i.e. these verdicts) under the Book and Sunnah', they say, 'these are statements of the scholars'. Is the scholar greater than the Book and the Sunnah? Are his statements not to be examined under the Book and the Sunnah!? This is how the people of desires act wal-iyaadho-billaah. They are those who 'took their rabbis and monks to be lords besides Allaah' [9:31]
And when they are forbidden from innovation about which the Messenger of Allaah warned against, they say, 'such and such a person acts upon this and he is a scholar or that he is a righteous person. And this is acted upon by the people of such and such a country and they are people who possess righteousness and piety.' We say: Righteousness and piety does not suffice, rather there has to be conformity to the Book and the Sunnah.
Therefore, to take the statements of the scholars and the worshippers as sound legal verdicts without examination under the Book and the Sunnah is a way of the people of the pre-Islaamic era of ignorance; and they are those who take their rabbis and their monks as lords besides Allaah.

Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) continues.......
'They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allaah' [9:31]
They (i.e. the rabbis and the monks) made lawful for them that which is unlawful and they obeyed them, and they made unlawful for them that which is lawful and they obeyed them. So they (i.e. the rabbis and the monks) became lords besides Allaah wal-iyaadho-billaah; because to declare something lawful or unlawful is the right of Allaah (Jalla-Wa-Alaa). It is not for anyone to declare something lawful or unlawful according to his desires and self-interest, and (for the purpose) of appeasing the people and being in conformity with them.
At present there are those who play tricks with the Sharee'ah. They make lawful that which is unlawful in order to be in conformity with the people, and to please the people. And with these assumptions of theirs, they solicit trickery and make concessions or lie against Allaah; that Allaah has declared this lawful and that unlawful for the benefit of such and such (individual). These ones are the sinful scholars. And the faasiq (the sinner) is the one who deviates from obedience to Allaah.
Allaah (Ta-aalaa) said:
'O you who believe! Verily, there are many of the ahbaar (Jewish) rabbis and the ruhbaan (Christian) monks'
This is a warning for the believers. The 'ahbaar' are the scholars, and in most cases it is a reference to the Jewish scholars; and the 'ruhbaan' are the worshippers, and in most cases it is a reference to the Christian worshippers. The Christians are referred to with monasticism and the Jews with knowledge, but the Jews are those who have earned the Anger of Allaah and the Christians are those who have been led astray. Allaah (Jalla-Wa-Alaa) has commanded us to say in every rakah in the prayer:
'Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace'; and these are the people of knowledge and action.
'Not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger'; these are the people who possess knowledge but do not act, and they are the evil sinful scholars.
'nor of those who went astray'; these are the monks from amongst the Christians and other than them. They worship Allaah without evidence and proof, rather they worship Allaah through innovations, newly invented matters and superstitions.
Allaah forbade us (from following/resembling) the evil sinful scholars and the astray worshippers. And He (subhaanah) has commanded us to stick to the truth, with evidence from the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam).

Do Not Be Inclined Towards The Scholar Or The Worshipper Until Each Of Them Is One Upright Upon The Religion Of Allaah
[Imaam Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhaab (rahimahullaah) stated in Masaa'ilil Jaahiliyyah (The 9th Mas-alah)]
They followed and took their example from their sinful and immoral scholars and worshippers. So Allaah said:
''O you who believe! Verily, there are many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks who devour the wealth of mankind in falsehood, and hinder (them) from the Way of Allaah (i.e. Allaah's Religion of Islaamic Monotheism).'' 9:34
And the saying of Allaah:
''Exceed not the limits in your religion (by believing in something) other than the truth, and do not follow the vain desires of people who went astray in times gone by, and who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the Right Path.'' 5:77
Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) commented on the above saying:
And from the Masaa'ilil Jaahiliyyah, is that (they) were guided by the sinful scholars. The Faasiq (sinner) is one who deviates from obedience to Allaah by knowledge and action, and the sinful scholars are those who do not act upon their knowledge, or those who utter lies against Allaah whilst being aware of that; saying, this is permissible and this is impermissible, whilst knowing that they are liars, and in order that they may obtain what they covet, and to follow desires under the auspices that they are scholars and that the people consider them trustworthy.
And the sinful worshippers are those who act without knowledge. The people consider them trustworthy and say: ''These ones are righteous''
So do not be inclined towards the scholar or the worshipper until each one of them is one upright upon the religion of Allaah (Azza-Wa-Jal). He (subhaanahu-wata-aalaa) said about the Jews and the Christians:
''O you who believe! Verily, there are many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks who devour the wealth of mankind in falsehood, and hinder (them) from the Way of Allaah (i.e. Allaah's Religion of Islaamic Monotheism)'' 9:34

False Claimants To The Methodology Of The Salafus Saaleh
Imaam Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhaab (rahimahullaah) stated in Ma'saa'ilil Jaahiliyyah [the 120th Mas-alah]
They (People of the pre-islaamic era of ignorance) claimed to follow the Salaf (righteous predecessors), while they clearly opposed and contradicted them.
Sheikh Saaleh al Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) commented on the above statement saying:
The general (people) from amongst the Jews and the Christians, and the people of misguidance from amongst those who attribute themselves to Islaam; all of them claim to follow the believers who preceded them.
So the Jews claim that they follow Moosaa (alyahis-salaam) and those who believed in him; and the Christians claim that they follow the Messiah (alayhis-salaam) and those who believed in him; and the people of misguidance of this Ummah claim that they follow the salaf of this ummah, from amongst the sahaabah and the Taa'bi'een and their followers, and that what they are upon is the way of the salaf.
And it is not the case that the claim of everyone who claims to be upon the Madhab of the salaf or upon the manhaj of the salaf is a sound claim; until he makes apparent what he is upon of the Manhaj of the salaf; so if that conforms to (the Manhaj of the Salaf), then he is upon the manhaj of the Salaf, and if it is in opposition, then he is not upon the Manhaj of the Salaf, even if he makes that claim.
Every deviated party/sect at present claims to be upon the way of the Salaf, but they are not upon the Manhaj of the Salaf; because the statement of the prophet regarding the precise (definition) of the way of the salaf: 'those upon that which I and my companions are upon', is not applicable to them. This is what it (means) to be upon the methodology of the Salaf, and as for the one who is in opposition to this, then he is not upon the methodology of the Salaf, even if he claims that.
And the Claim is not what is taken into consideration; rather the reality is what is taken into consideration. Those who claim salafiyyah are many, but they must make apparent what they are upon of the Manhaj of the Salafus Saaleh, and if that is in conformity, then it is truth, and if in opposition, then they are not upon the Manhaj of the Salafus Saaleh.
Likewise, there are those who attribute themselves to the madhabs of the Four Imaams, whilst being in opposition to the Imaams in Aqeedah; so their ascription is not correct, because they oppose (the Imaams) in the most important of affairs, and that is Aqeedah.
[Sharh- Ma'saa'ilil Jaahiliyyah of Sheikh Fawzaan (Page: 295-296)]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We ask Allaah to include us amongst those who truly follow the Ulema in making apparent the manhaj of the salaf in all affairs of the deen, be it in the affairs of belief, co-operating upon bir and taqwah, walaa wal baraa etc. And we ask Him (subhaanah) to protect us from all those who seek to confuse the common people in the affairs of the manhaj, after the Ulema have already clarified its signposts.

The Miser Is Not Only The One Who Refrains From Spending, Rather The Miser Can Also Be One Who Calls To Falsehood And Hides Knowledge Which The People Are In Need Of
Allaah (subhaanah) said:
'Those who are miserly and enjoin miserliness on other men and hide what Allaah has bestowed upon them of His Bounties. And We have prepared for the disbelievers a disgraceful torment.'4:37
Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah) said about the statement of Allaah:
'Those who are miserly', that is: they refrain from fulfilling the rights obligatory upon them to fulfil.
'And enjoin miserliness on other men' through their statements and actions.
'And hide what Allaah has bestowed upon them of His Bounties', that is: of knowledge, by which the astray are guided and the ignorant ones are led aright; so they hide that from them and make apparent to them falsehood that comes between them and the truth. Thus they have gathered between miserliness with regards to wealth and knowledge, and between hastening towards loss for themselves and for others. This is a characteristic of the disbelievers, and for that reason Allaah (Ta-aalaa) said:
'And We have prepared for the disbelievers a disgraceful torment.'......
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We ask Allaah to protect us from those who mix truth with falsehood in the affairs of this blessed Manhajus Salafi

Why Are Those Who Transmit The Saheeh Aqeedah And Manhaj In The West Being Attacked From All Directions?
Allaah (subhaanah) said:
'And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies- Shayaateen (devils) among mankind and jinns, inspiring one another with adorned speech as a delusion (or by way of deception). If your Lord had so willed, they would not have done it, so leave them alone with their fabrications.' 6:112
Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah) said, 'Allaah (Ta'aalaa) stated in consolation to His Messenger Muhammad (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam)--:
And like this, We have appointed for you enemies who reject your call, waging war against you and being envious towards you; for this is Our way, that we appoint for every Prophet sent to the creation enemies-from the Shayaateen (devils) among mankind and Jinn, who set out to oppose that which the Messengers came with.
'Inspiring one another with adorned speech as a delusion', that is: beautifying the falsehood they call to, and adorning it with expressions until it is made to appear in the best image/in a good light, so that the foolish ones are deceived by it, and the stupid ones, those who neither understand the reality of things nor their meanings are made to comply with it; nay they are amazed by beautified statements and distorted expressions, so they believe that that which is truth is falsehood and that which is falsehood is truth.....
And Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah) also said: And from the Wisdom of Allaah in appointing enemies for the Prophets, and (in appointing) supporters to falsehood calling to it; is that the slaves are encountered with trials and tests, in order that the truthful one is differentiated from the liar, the one of sound intelligence from the ignorant and the one with insight from the blind one.
We ask Allaah by His Greatest Name to include us among those who return to the Book, The Sunnah and the Ulema, with the intention of holding onto the clear proofs. We ask Him (subhaanah) to protect us from the desires, envy and falsehood that have afflicted many of those who attack the salafis. And we ask Him (subhaanah) to make us steadfast upon the path of the Salaf in Speech and Action. (Aameen)

Whoever Abandons The Truth Will Be Tried With Falsehood
Sheikh Saaleh al Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) says: The sheikh [Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah)] proceeded with the clarification, that the one who abandons the truth or some of it will be tried with falsehood.
So he (rahimahullaah) said:
This is the case with ahlul bidah; you will not find anyone who has abandoned some of the Sunnah which is to be affirmed and acted upon, except that he falls to bidah. You will not find a person of innovation except that he has abandoned something from the Sunnah, as reported in the hadith:
'A people do not bring about an innovation, except after abandoning something similar to it of the Sunnah' (Reported by Ahmad)
Allaah (Ta-aa-laa) said:
'But they have abandoned a good part of the Message that was sent to them. So We planted amongst them enmity and hatred.' 5:14
So after they abandoned a part of the message that was sent to them, they then held onto other than it; thus enmity and hatred occurred between them.
Allaah (Ta-aalaa) said:
'And whosoever turns away (blinds himself) from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allaah) (i.e. this Qur'aan and worship of Allaah), We appoint for him Shaitaan (Satan devil) to be a Qareen (an intimate companion) to him.' 43:36, that is: 'The remembrance' (i.e. the revelation) sent down by Ar-Rahmaan [Allaah (subhaanahu-wata-aalaa)].
Allaah said:
'Then if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My Guidance shall neither go astray, nor fall into distress and misery. But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur'aan nor acts on its orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection.' 20:123-124
And He (Ta-aalaa) said:
'Follow what has been sent down unto you from your Lord (the Qur'aan and Prophet Muhammad's Sunnah), and follow not any Auliyaa' (protectors and helpers, etc. who order you to associate partners in worship with Allaah), besides Him (Allaah). Little do you remember!' 7:3
So, they have been commanded to follow what has been sent down, and have been prohibited from that which is in opposition to it; and that is to follow protectors and helpers besides Him (Allaah). So whoever does not follow one of them will follow the other, and that is why He (Ta-aalaa) said:
'And follows other than the way of the believers' (the companions)' 4:115
The ulema say, 'the one who does not follow their path (i.e. the path of the companions) will follow other than their path; so they utilise this as proof, that it is obligatory to follow their path (i.e. that of the companions). And it is not for anyone to leave that which they are agreed upon'.

Then understand this well O sunni Athari, for you will find that when the people of hizbiyyah deliberately abandon the advise of the salaf of this ummah and that of the ulema of ahlus sunnah, with regards boycotting those known for calling to bidah in this present era, they are then tried with the falsehood of principles and views they have invented for themselves in the arena of Dawah and Ta-aawun.
They do not give any weight to the verdicts of the Rabbaani ulema of this era regarding the boycotting of the destructive sects of innovation such as Ikhwaan Mufliseen, Jamaa-atut Tabligh etc; and they attack and charge the salafis with guluww when they transmit the fatawaa of the scholars against hizbiyyah and its people. We ask Allaah for safety.

The Guides Of This Ummah Have Been Described With That Softness And Sterness That Brought About Great Benefits For The Ummah In Both Their Religious And Worldly Affairs
Amr Ibnul Aas (radiyallaahu-anhu) was one of those given authority and so was Abu Ubaydah Bin Jarraah (radiyallaahu-anhu). And Khaalid Bin Waleed (radiyallaahu-anhu) was given preference over them due to his bravery and usefulness in Jihaad.
When Abu Bakr (radiyallaahu-anhu) passed away, Umar Ibnul Khattaab (radiyallaahu-anhu) gave Abu Ubaydah authority over all of them; for Umar ibnul khattaab used to be STERN for the sake of Allaah, so he appointed Abu Ubaydah for he was SOFT. And Abu Bakr was SOFT and Khaalid was STERN against the disbelievers; so the SOFT ONE gave authority to the STERN ONE and the STERN ONE gave authority to the SOFT ONE in order to BALANCE THE AFFAIRS. These two (Abu Bakr and Umar) acted in a manner most beloved to Allaah with regards to fulfilling His Rights.
Indeed our Prophet (the most perfect human being amongst the creation) was STERN against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and Allaah favoured him with the most perfect of the revealed laws; as He (Ta-aalaa) stated whilst describing his ummah:
'Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves' 48:29
And He (Ta-aalaa) stated about them:
'Humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allaah, and never afraid of the blame of the blamers'. 5:54
And it has been established in the saheeh, that when the prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) consulted his companions regarding the affair of the kuffaar prisoners of war at the battle of Badr, Abu Bakr suggested that they should be set free after taking ransom on their behalf and Umar suggested that they should be executed; so the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said:
'Indeed Allaah softens the hearts of men until they become softer than cloth (of linen or cotton), and He toughens the hearts of men until they become tougher than a rock. And your likeness O Abu Bakr is that of Ibraaheem (alayhis-salaam) when he said:
'But whoever follows me, he verily is of me. And whoever disobeys me, - still You are indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful'. 14:36, and like Esaa (alayhis-salaam) when he said: 'If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You are the All Mighty, the All Wise.'5:118
And your likeness O Umar is that of Nuh (alayhis-salaam) when he said:
'And Nuh (Noah) said: 'My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers on the earth!'71:26 and like Musaa (alayhis-salaam) when he said: 'Our Lord! You have indeed bestowed on Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs splendour and wealth in the life of this world, our Lord! That they may lead men astray from Your Path. Our Lord! Destroy their wealth, and harden their hearts, so that they will not believe until they see the painful torment.'10:88
They (Abu Bakr and Umar) were as the Messenger described them during his lifetime, and they were (also) his disciples to the people of the earth.

We ask Allaah to keep our feet firm upon the path of our Salafus Saaleh. Indeed, amongst them were those who were soft and those who were stern. However, their softness and sternness was utilised in reaching the truth and making the Sunnah of the Messenger manifest. And they also sought the assistance of those soft and stern ones to bring about great benefits for the ummah in both their Religious and worldly affairs.
Likewise, this path of theirs is neither that of those who make false claims of bringing about benefit for the ummah nor that of those who utilise softness and sternness in following desires. The people of TAHAZZUB seek the assistance and company of those who wage war against the Sunnah. Their sternness is directed at the people of the haqq and their softness is for the people of Baatil and Bidah.
Whenever they speak about mas-lahah on behalf of the ummah and a need to balance the affairs, they would then employ false principles, fabrications and sinful compromise in order to unite the diseased sects of bidah with the people of the sound aqeedah and the manhaj...wal-iyaadho-billaah.
So be cautious O Sunni athari! And hold onto the clear verdicts of the ulema against Tahazzub, its people and its various manifestations in the arena of Ta-aawun and dawah.
We ask Allaah for safety

The Scholars Testify To Their Adherence To The Manhaj And Their Ability To Teach The People The Basics Of Their Religion
Abee Musa (radiyallaahu-anhu) said that the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: "The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant Ghayth falling on the earth, some of which was fertile soil that absorbed the water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the water and Allah benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking, making their animals drink from it and for irrigation of the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no benefits).
The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah's religion and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which Allah has revealed through me (the Prophets and learns and then teaches others. The last example is that of a person who does not care for it and does not take Allah's guidance revealed through me (He is like that barren land.)" (Bukhaari No: 79 Book of Knowledge)
Imaam Muhammad Ibnu Saalih Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) commented on this hadith saying:
In this similitude given by the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) is that: 'The EXAMPLE of GUIDANCE and KNOWLEDGE, with which Allaah has sent me with, is like abundant 'ghayth' falling on the earth.'
'Al-Ghayth': means 'Rain', and this earth (upon which the rain fell) is of three types:
THE FIRST TYPE OF EARTH: is the (earth) that absorbed the water and produced an abundance of grass and vegetation. So the people were benefited through that. THE OTHER TYPE OF EARTH is a plain: it retained the water and the people benefited from it. They utilized it for drinking and as a source of irrigation (for cultivation). THE THIRD TYPE OF EARTH is a swampy/salty earth. It absorbed the water but does not produce any benefit.
This is the relationship between the PEOPLE and the KNOWLEDGE and GUIDANCE with which the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) was sent with.
THE FIRST CATEGORY OF (PEOPLE)
Amongst them is one who has understanding of the Religion of Allaah, so he learns and teaches others. He benefits the people and (benefits) himself through his knowledge. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE EARTH THAT PRODUCES GRASS AND VEGETATION, SO THAT THE PEOPLE AND THE ANIMALS EAT FROM IT.
THE SECOND CATEGORY OF (PEOPLE)
They are a people who have been entrusted with the guidance, but they do not possess any understanding in (relation to it). Meaning: there exists transmission of knowledge and hadith within them, but they do not possess understanding. THE SIMILITUDE OF THESE ONES IS THAT OF THE EARTH THAT RETAINED THE WATER, AND THE PEOPLE WERE PROVIDED WITH WATER BY IT. THEY UTILIZED IT FOR DRINKING AND [(MADE THEIR ANIMALS DRINK FROM IT, AND THEY (ALSO) UTILIZED IT AS A SOURCE OF IRRIGATION)], BUT THE EARTH ITSELF DOES NOT PRODUCE ANYTHING. This is because (these people) narrate and transmit ahaadith, BUT (they) NEITHER POSSESS FIQH NOR UNDERSTANDING IN IT.
THE THIRD CATEGORY:
Is the one who is not benefited by the KNOWLEDGE and GUIDANCE the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) was sent with. He turns away and does not incline towards it. He is neither benefited by that which the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) was sent with nor does he benefit others. His similitude is that of the earth that absorbed the water, but does not produce anything.
SOURCE: Ash-sharhul Mamool Li-imthaali- Ar-Rasool' by Imam Muhammad Ibnu Saalih Al-Uthaymeen ((rahimahullaah) page:7-8)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then understand this well O Salafi Athari! There are those who sit with the scholars and benefit from them. And not only are they known and trusted by the scholars, rather they also transmit the saheeh aqeedah and manhaj they have acquired from them. They benefit the Salafi centres and transmit what the Rabbaani scholars recommend to be transmitted from the affairs of Aqeedah, fiqh and the correct manhaj positions. And they transmit that which the Rabbaani scholars recommend of warning against shirk, bidah, the deviated groups and parties and tahazzub. The scholars testify to their adherence to this blessed manhajus Salafi, and their ability to benefit and teach the people the basics of their religion. Therefore, the one who seeks to bring doubt and confusion in this affair is either a person of envy who wishes that the virtues of people are not to be recognized or that he is an idle gossiper.
