Shaykh Ṣāliḥ Āl al-Shaykh: The Saying of the Ignorant Person: ‘We Have Understood Tawḥīd’ Quote: "This statement: “We have understood Tawḥīd” was said by some of the students of Shaykh Muḥammad bin ʿAbd al-Wahhāb (رحمه الله), they said it during his lesson. When he finished reading Kitāb al-Tawḥīd (to them) and explaining its issues, and he wanted to repeat it again a third or fourth time, they said to him: “O Shaykh, we want (to study) another book, we want to study fiqh or ḥadīth.” He said: “Why.” They said: “We have understood Tawḥīd, we want some other knowledge.” ... ... the saying of the ignorant person: “We have understood Tawḥīd” is known to be from the greatest of ignorance and from the plots of Shayṭān because they deemed a major sin to be heinous, but their hearts did not recoil against major shirk with Allāh which expels from the religion."

Part 9: The Dirty War: Reversing The Polished Sharp-Edged Blade to the Neck of its Wielder   Shaykh Rabīʿ highlights the dishonesty of Fāliḥ and his followers in falsely accusing him of allowing compromise in the foundations of Islām and even intimating takfīr of him. However, Shaykh Rabīʿ skilfully reverses the blade upon the neck of its wielder in establishment of truth and justice.   Shaykh Rabīʿ: “I have written articles for the Ḥaddādīs which contain many evidences that explain their lies and oppression but it did not benefit them or restrain them. It did not stir anything in their conscience of falsehood and whims, and nor turn them back from their serious oppression aimed at takfīr… and I have explained that repeatedly, over and over again, which confirms that this Ḥaddādiyyah has a more evil state than the Khārijites, and (it is) more severe in oppression and slander, and in persistence upon falsehood and oppression.”   Read more: https://abuiyaad.com/q/rabee-polished-blade

FREE EBOOK: Excerpts from the Refutation of the Falsehoods of ʿAbd al-Laṭīf Bāshmīl by Shaykh Rabīʿ bin Hadī (رحمه الله). Quote: "Indeed, the problems and tribulations of ʿAbd al-Laṭīf require reflection, contemplation and deep thought and what he makes apparent of loyalty to the state and to some of the scholars through deception and cunning cannot be taken (at face value). The problems of ʿAbd al-Laṭīf, his tribulation ( fitnah) and his tumult require the principle of ʿUmar (رضي الله عنه), the second righteous caliph and the great genius (al-ʿabqariyy al-ʿaḍhīm), that barrier in the face tribulations: ‘I am not a deceiver, nor can I be deceived by a deceiver’ and (it requires) the comprehension of Ibn ʿAbbās (رضي الله عنه) which strikes deep."

Ibn Qutaybah: On The Types of People and Their Motives in Accepting Speech Quote: "This speech of mine will be encountered by three types of people: An easily-led man who heard people speak (with something) and so he repeats their speech.
