Imaam Muqbil and Imaam as San’aanee – Accepting the Jarh is NOT taqleed
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
السلام عليكم
The fanatical supporters of al-Hajoori are making many claims, regarding the Salafis who have taken the stance, and accept the criticism of Shaykh Rabee with regards to their Shaykh Yahya Hajoori.
When Shaykh Rabee’ said
Then it was clear that these attacks from his followers would come. They claim that those who carry his criticism, have made taqleed of Shaykh Rabee as they claim that al Hajoori is known for his Salafiyyah (by them) so the Jarh therefore does not apply.
Shaykh Muqbil -rahimahullah- said regarding this last point;
”So if a weak person speaks about an Imaam from amongst the Great Imams then his speech is not accepted,an example of that is the speech of Qardaawee about ash-Shaykh Ibn Baaz”
So the first question; Is Shaykh Rabee -hafidahullah- ‘a Weak person’? Shaykh Rabee’s position has been made clear and the following link will illustrate that they are only attempting to defend their own Shaykh and his mistakes, whilst attacking a mountain of knowledge:
Kibaar past and present on Shaykh Rabee
By contrast they raise al Hajoori, claiming that he is from the ”GREAT Imaams”… According to their delusions, and extreme love he is so much more…
Shaykh Rabee said
”Tell him (Yahyah) that he is only a student and not an Alim. He is not a sincere adviser; he is not an Imam of anything. Tell him that he is just a student; tell him to fear Allaah and to join his brothers hand in hand – his brothers of Ahlul Sunnah. Tell him to leave this extremism and evil behaviour.”
It seems very strange then that we have Al Imaam Muqbil, holding a position contrary to the claims of these defenders of al Haajori. However if we go further back we have the statements of Al Imaam as San’aanee, refuting the people of innovation of his time, who came with similar arguments and deception.
Will these individuals now claim that Imaam Muqbil and Imaam As San’aanee -rahimahumallah- were following and calling to the blameworthy methodology of Taqleed?!
Let us look again to the truth in Shaykh Rabee’s words -hafidahullah-
‘By Allaah, we have not seen this type of extremism from the people of innovation that we see from his students.’
‘They (Yahya and his followers) are waging a war against the Salafis and Salafiyaah,’
In truth this statement is becoming manifest in their statements every day…. People may try to hide but Allaah The Most High exposes them sooner or later.
Benefit from the following links and protect yourself with knowledge from the distortions and deceptions of the extremists from the followers of Yahyah, whom actually have the opportunity to either visit or ring Shaykh Rabee’ if they would like more details, yet they do not, rather they are attacking the Salafis for accepting the advice of the Shaykh.
We ask Allah the turner of the hearts to keep our hearts firm upon his religion and protect us from misguidance
Accepting the jarh of the Scholars is not taqleed – Shaykh Muqbil and Imam As San’aanee
Imaam Muqbil – Q&A Regarding accepting the Jarh, Hizbees and Taqleed
The Self-Amazement of Al-Hajoori As Opposed to the Humility of the Salaf
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful The Bestower of Mercy
Al’Amoodee-one of the drivers of Al’Hajoori’s Ghuluww Caravan quoted a poet’s exaggerated praise for his Shaikh in [kashf Al-Ghitaa: 53]- that the one who desires knowledge in its entirety will find it in Dammaaj….. he will find its fountainhead with Yahyah….Yahyah is its fountainhead, for Allaah-The Lord of the Aalaameen-granted him knowledge. Reader: Bear in mind that Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi Al-Mubtadi wrote the introduction to this treatise of Al-Amoodee [For further details see page 7 of the refutation Titled At-Tankeel by Ustaadh Abdur-Rahmaan Bin Ahmad Al-Barmakiy (may Allaah protect him)]
Humility of our Salaf
Imaam Ash-Shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah) said: ”I wished that the people learnt this knowledge and attribute none of it to me.” [Jaami-ul Uloom wal-hikam: page: 131]
It was said to Imaam Ahmad (rahimahullaah): ”May Allaah reward you for the good you have (done) for Islaam. He said:”Rather, Allaah has (done) good for me through Islaam. Who am I, and what am I?” [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 11/225]
Sufyaan Bin Uyaynah (rahimahullaah) said: ”Indeed, I become angry with myself when I see you come to me, and I say to myself: These people have not come to me, except due to the good thoughts they have about me.” [Hilyatul Awliyaa: 7/285]
We seek Allaah’s protection from ghuluww and we ask Him for humility. And may He (The Most High) return Al-Hajoori and his supporters to the path of correctness
[1] The Blessed Saudi State-Al’Allaamah Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him)
All praise is due to Allaah, and may peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and all his companions. To proceed:
This country-the land of the two noble sacred mosques- to which the performers of Hajj and Umrah come to every year for pilgrimage to the noble kabah, due to the saying of Allaah (The Most High):[ وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ]—[ And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka’bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah], which is the Qiblah of the Muslims in the western and eastern parts of the earth. He (The Most High) said:[ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنتُمْ فَوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُ] [And wheresoever you people are, turn your faces (in prayer) in that direction]; meaning: The sacred house, and in the (land of these two sacred mosques are the places in which) the revelation descended, the places of origin of the Messenger ship of [Muhammad (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam)] and the heart of the Islamic world.
This is a blessed State—the State (under the authority) of the family of Saud; the State of Islamic Monotheism and in it the pure Islamic Legislation is implemented, enjoining good and forbidding evil is established, and in it is found continuous knowledge sessions to teach the sciences of the Islamic Legislation, the language sciences and the technical sciences. This State provides service to the two noble sacred mosques (i.e. takes care of them), it gives high regard for the safety of those who perform Hajj and Umrah and those Muslims who come to them by Allaah’s tawfeeq. It spends in establishing the Islamic call in (Saudi) and in the Islamic world. It spends generously in assisting the needy and distressed Muslims in every place and plays a role in solving the problems of the Muslims. Indeed, this State was established upon the legislated Islamic oath of allegiance—preserving unity, carrying out the (divine) legislated Islamic punishments against criminals and corrupters with that which preserves the Religion, honour, wealth, safety and stability, since there can be no safety without unity and there can be no unity without ruler ship, and there can be no ruler ship without listening to the (ruler) and being obedient to him. Ruler ship is made binding by the oath of allegiance of the people of authority and not by way of western elections….
To be continued Inshaa-Allaah

What are the things a scholar must seek to acquire?
It was said to one of the wise people of the early days: ”what are the things a scholar must seek to acquire?” He said: ”The things that when the ship sinks, he swims along with it, meaning: knowledge” [Jaami Bayaan Al-Ilm:1/120]
Hiding Knowledge – Are you guilty or ignorant?
The wise ones said:
Whoever hides knowledge, it is as if he is ignorant of it.
[Jaami Bayaan Al-Ilm: 1/22]
A short reminder to those who accuse others of blameworthy Taqleed, whilst arguing on behalf of Hajoori
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Ibn Abdul-Barr (rahimahullaah) said: ”According to the scholars, Taqleed (i.e. blind adherence) is other than Ittibaa [i.e. adherence to an authentic affair narrated from the Messenger-sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and obviously with the correct understanding of the Salaf]; because ittibaa is to follow a person based on what is apparent to you of the superiority of his statement and soundness of his school of thought. And Taqleed is that you speak with his statement, whilst you neither know the angle of his speech nor its meaning and you reject speech besides it; Or his mistake is made manifest to you, but you follow him and venerate his opposition, whilst the corruptness of his speech is clear to you. This is what is forbidden to speak with in the religion of Allaah (The Most High)”
[End of Quote: Jaami Bayaan Al-Ilm Wa-Fadlihee: 2/787]
This accusation of blameworthy Taqleed was the same one utilized by the followers of Maribi, Halabi, Maghraawi etc to waterdown and conceal the destructive innovations of their beloved ones and figureheads. So how can those people fishing in the murky waters on behalf of Al-Hajoori prove that those who have taken the correct stances against Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi Al-Mubtadi are guilty of blameworthy Taqleed?! Who in his right mind can say that people are blind following Shaikh Rabee, Shaikh Ubaid, Shaikh Wassaabi, Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari and the rest of the Mashaayikh of Yemen in this affair of Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi Al-Mubtadi?! Are his dangerous mistakes, innovations and haddaadiyyah not manifest?! Has he recanted from all his affairs of misguidance?!

Our Salaf: The Importance of Knowlwdge–Ash’shabee (rahimahullaah)
Ash’shabee (rahimahullaah) said:
”If a man were to travel from the furthest parts of Shaam to the furthest part of Yemen in order to listen to a wise statement, I would not have seen his journey as a waste.”
[Jaami Bayaan Al-Ilm: 1/189]
Despite his dangerous and clear errors, look at this blameworthy boldness!
Al-Hajoori (may Allaah guide him) stated:
”Whoever says that the Dawah in Dammaaj has changed, then upon him is the curse of Allaah, the angels and all the people.”
