A Message For Every Blazing Haddadi Opposing “Rahimahullah” for Al-Allamah Hasan Ibn Abdil Wahhab Marzuq Al-Bannah

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

This is a brief reflection on the matter concerning any blazing Haddadi who holds that one should refrain from saying: Rahimahullah, for Al-Allamah Hasan ibn Abdil Wahhab Marzuq al-Bannah, may Allah have mercy upon him. Indeed, if even Ahlul Bidah are treated with fairness and not excess, then how about one’s behaviour towards the Scholars of Sunnah, particularly the elders among them! Therefore, we will first present a statement from Imam As-Sadi, may Allah have mercy upon him, regarding the rights of the Mu’allimeen, and then we will quote a statement from Al-Allamah Ubaid Al-Jabiri, may Allah have mercy upon him, concerning supplication for or against Ahlul Bidah.

Imam As-Sadi, may Allah have mercy upon him, stated:

They [the Mu’allimeen] are the intermediary between the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and his Ummah with regards to propagation of the religion and clarification of the Shariah. Had it not been for these ones, the people would have been like cattle. They nurture the souls and hearts of the slaves upon the beneficial sciences and sound knowledge. They are the ones who guide the Ummah in the fundamental and subsidiary affairs of their religion, and return them to the rulings related to the duties obligated to them and in their dealings, just as they return them to the affairs pertaining to worship. Through them the Book and the Sunnah are established, and through them is made clear truth from falsehood, guidance as opposed to misguidance, Halal as opposed to Haram, good as opposed to evil, and rectification as opposed to corruption. They are of varying ranks, in accordance with what they establish of knowledge, teaching and benefit- great or small. They have great rights (owed to them) by the ummah and are possessors of a lofty status. Therefore, the people must have love and respect for them. They must recognise their excellence and virtue, and thank them greatly. They are to supplicate for them in private and public, and seek nearness to Allah by having love for them and praising them. They are to proclaim their excellence; guard the hearts (from harbouring evil against them) and the tongues (from) insulting them, for this would tarnish their excellence. [1]

السؤال : بارك الله فيكم شيخنا؛ هذا السؤال السابع من السعودية؛
ما حكم الدعاء بالهداية لدعاة البدع والفتن وحتى الخوارج ممَّا هم فيه من الضلال؟
الجواب :
من دعا لهم بالهداية لهُ سَلَف، لكن أهل البدع قسمان:
قسمٌ هُم دعاة إلى بدعهم، يوالون ويعادون فيها، ويَعْمَلون كُلَّ ما استطاعوا للنيلِ من أهلِ السُّنة كذبًا، وزورًا، وبهتانًا، فمن دعا عليهم بالهلاك، والدَّمار، وإحباط السَّعي، ورَدْ كيدهم في نحورِهم لهُ سَلَف، ومَن دعا لهم بالهداية؛ وأرى أن تكون هكذا مُقيَّدة فيقول: اللهم من تعلم أنه فيه من هؤلاء خير فعجِّل له بالهداية، ورُدَّه إليكَ ردًّا جميلًا، ومن كنت لا تعلم فيه خيرًا فأكفيناه بما شئت
فالأمر لا يصل إلى حد النكير الشديد؛ بحيث من دعا لهم بالهداية يُثَرَّبُ عليه، وكأنه أتى منكرًا من القولِ وزورا، خالَف الأوْلى يعني يدعو لهم دعاء هكذا مقيَّدًا؛ اللهم من كان فيه من هؤلاء خير فعجل له بالهداية ومن ليس منهم فيه خير فأكفيناه بما شئت
وقد يقول اللهم أرِنا فيهم عجائب قدرتك، واجعلهم عبرة لمن اعتبر، نعم بعض دعاة البدع مكشِّرون عن أنياب العداوة والبُغض والنَّيل من أهل السُّنة، لاسيما الخوارج منهم، ولو شِئْت ذكرت أسمائهم لكنهم معروفون، أقطاب الثورة الفكرية العالمة التي انطلقت من عام 1411 معروفون، فهؤلاء في الحقيقة أنا أدعو عليهم بأن يدمِّر الله كَيْدَهم ويخيِّب سَعْيَهم، ويُرِيَ أهل السُّنة فيهم العبرة، ويجعلَهُم عبرةً لِمَن اعتبر، لكن لا أُثَرِّبُ على من خالَفَنِي فدعا لهم بالهداية، لا أُثَرِّبُ عليه، النبي
صلى الله عليه وسلم
دعا بالهداية للكُفَّار
نعم

Question: May Allah bless you, our Shaikh. This is the seventh question from Saudi Arabia. What is the ruling on making Du’aa for the guidance of those who call to Bidah and Fitan, including the Khawarij, concerning the misguidance they are in?

Al-Allamah Ubaid, may Allah have mercy upon him, responded:

Those who make du’aa for them have Salaf (a precedent or basis) for doing so; however, the people of Bidah fall into two groups: A group who are callers to their Bidah, having loyalty and enmity in that. They exert every effort to attack the people of the Sunnah based on lies, falsehood, and slander. Therefore, whoever makes Du’aa against them to be annihilated, eradicated, and for their efforts to be frustrated, and their plots to be turned back on them, he has a precedent. And whoever makes Du’aa for their guidance, I hold that it should be done in a restricted manner, saying: “O Allah! The one among these people – in Your Knowledge – who has good in him, hasten guidance for him and bring him back to You in a beautiful manner. And for the one does not possess good, suffice us against him through whatever way You wish”.

The matter does not reach the level of severe reproach, such that the one who makes Du’aa for their guidance is reprimanded, as if they have committed a grave evil or spoken falsehood, contrary to the first (stance), which is to make Du’aa for them in a restricted manner, saying: “O Allah! The one among them who possess goodness, hasten their guidance, and for those who do not possess good, suffice us with whatever You will”.

One might say, “O Allah! Show us through them the wonders of Your power, and make them a lesson for those who take heed.” Na’am (surely), some callers to Bidah display enmity, hatred and attack against the people of the Sunnah, especially the Khawarij among them. If I wished, I could mention their names, but they are well-known, the leaders of the revolutionary thought that began in the year 1411 are well-known. In reality, these people I make Du’aa against them that Allah destroys their plots, frustrates their efforts, show Ahlus Sunnah a lesson through them, and make them a lesson for those who reflect. However, I do not reprimand those who oppose me and make Du’aa for their guidance; I do not reprimand them, as the Prophet – peace and blessings of Allah be upon him – made Du’aa for the guidance of the unbelievers.

May Allah bless us all with upright conduct in all matters – neither ghuluww nor Tamyee, nor rushing to false Tabdee.
