And the first to embrace Islam of the Muhajirun (those who migrated from Makkah to Al-Madinah) and the Ansar (the citizens of Al-Madinah who helped and gave aid to the Muhajirun) and also those who followed them exactly (in Faith). Allah is well-pleased with them as they are well-pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme success. (At Tawbah: 100)
We should all reflect upon this āyah, if we truly desire Allah – subhaanahu wa ta’aala – to be pleased with us.
Shaykh Saalih Al Fawzaan (Hafidahullah) said:
“Allah has included a condition for those who follow the Muhaajiroon and Ansaar; it is that they follow them with ihsaan (perfection and precision). The Shaykh continues and says meaning itqaan (precision), not claims or ascriptions without actualisation or substance! Not everyone who claims and ascribes to following the methodology of the Salaf is truthful in that, or actualises that; either due to ignorance as to what the methodology of the Salaf is, or due to his desires (so that) he knows what the methodology of the Salaf is, but he (chooses) to follow what the people are upon, or that which suits and is in accordance with his desires.
These people (the one who is ignorant and the one who chooses not to follow) are not upon the methodology of the Salaf and neither are they Salafi; because they have not fulfilled the condition Allah has mentioned in the verse that the Salaf are followed with precision.
Two affairs are required from the one who wants to tread upon the path and methodology of the praiseworthy generations:
1: Knowledge and awareness of what the Salafi Methodolgy is; this requires studying the Methodology, studying the Aqeedah (creed).
2: Clinging and holding tight to this Methodology and its principles regardless of any harms that may come your way; harm from the opposers, being reviled and called evil names.
This requires patience and knowing that this path that you are treading is the straight and upright path; the path of Allah, so be patient and firm and cling to the Salafi Methodology.”
Paraphrased from the lecture of Shaykh Saalih Al Fawzaan:
Al-haafith Ad-Diyaa’ said concerning Ibrahim Ibn ‘Abdil-Wahid Al-Maqdisi: He advised me at the time I travelled [for seeking knowledge]
“Increase in recitation of the Quran and do not leave it. For indeed whatever you seek will be facilitated for you proportionate to what you recite.”
Al-haafith Ad-Diyaa’ then said:
I saw that and experienced it many times. If I recited a lot, then listening to hadith and writing a great deal of it down would become easy. When I didn’t recite, that wouldn’t become easy for me.
Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali, Dhail At-Tabaqat Al-Hanabilah, vol.3; p205
Al Allaamah Ash Shaykh Zayd bin Haadi Al Madkhalee (Rahimahullah) said:
Those who sit in gatherings (where) knowledge of the Islamic legislation is being (taught), whilst desiring the truth and to wage war against falsehood, having love for the Sunnah and to wage war against bidah, these are the (people) upon whom the Angels descend and the ones showered with mercy
Allaah – The All Knowing, The All Wise, The Most Benign and Kind, The Lord and Nuturer, The Creator and The Tremendous One, The Magnificent – decreed the creation of the two abodes, the worldly life and the afterlife; then He (Glorified Be He and Free is He from all imperfections) made the first (abode)a place for the (performance of righteous) action and the second (abode) a place of recompense. Indeed He (Glorified Be He and Free is He from all imperfections ) obligated on humans and the Jinn with obligations that are based on commands and prohibitions, and recompense is based on this on the day of judgement.
[Allaah said]:
فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ
So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), shall see it.
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ
And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), shall see it.
“So congratulations to every Student of Knowledge who has purified his intention for Allah whilst seeking that knowledge and intended by it the pleasure of Allah.
And he who adorned himself with the characteristics and attributes of the Students of Knowledge of old, from holding onto tranquility, dignity and maintaining good conduct with one’s teacher and peers, and with the people in general. Since it is through these mannerisms and other than them from those commendable traits that the Students of Knowledge are distinguished from the rest of the people. So they are the elite and best from the people no doubt!”
“It is a must that we cultivate ourselves upon the taqwa of Allah, and it is obligatory that we cultivate ourselves upon speaking the truth, and before that; that we search after the truth. So stand on the side of the truth and be a just witness for Allah, even if it is against yourself, your parents or your relatives.”

The Traits of An Innovator: Ali Al-Halabi’s Cutting off Speech, Playing About with it and Distorting it’s Meanings. Abu Usaamah himself said about Ali Al-Halabi – “ I am a supporter of Ali Hasan Al-Halabi. I support him. I support what he is upon.”1.
Ali Al-Halabi is known for his cutting off speech, adding to it and distorting it, in order to support his corrupt principles. An example of this which follows is his cutting from the speech of Imaam Abdur-Rahmaan As-Sa’di (rahimahullah). Here let us first present to the reader the original text from the Imaam himself, before any distortions were added by Al-Halabi. Once the reader acquaints himself with such trickery then this is in reality enough (a reason) to bring Al-Halabi down and warn against him!
A specimen of the complete speech of Imaam Sa’di from Ar-riyaad An-Naadhirah’ page 209 ^^^
من الغلط الفاحش الخطر قبول قول الناس بعضهم ببعض، ثم يبنى عليه السامع حبا أو بغضا، ومدحا وذما؛ فكم حصل بهذا الغلط من أمور صار عاقبتها الندامة، وكم أشاع الناس عن الناس أمورا لا حقيقة لها بالكلية، أو لها بعض الحقيقة فنميت بالكذب والزور، وخصوصا ممن عرفوا بعدم المبالاة بالنقل، أو عرف منهم الهوى.
فالواجب على العاقل التثبت والتحرز، وعدم التسرع.
وبهذا يعرف دين المرء ورزانته وعقله
Imaam as Sa’di (rahimahullah) said in the above that (slightly paraphrased) “from the repugnant dangerous mistakes is when people accept one another’s speech, then the one who hears that speech establishes love, hate, praise and dispraise based on that”. Then the Imaam further stated that “how many mistakes have been committed [through this behaviour] regarding affairs whose end result became a matter of regret?! And how many affairs have been spread by people from other people which are complete unreality?! Or it has some reality, so lies and falsehood are added to it, especially those known for not having concern regarding what they narrate, or known for following desires. Therefore, it is obligated on an ‘aaqil (a sensible person with sound reasoning and intellect) that he ascertains, takes precaution and not to be hasty. And by way of this, the religion of a person is known [i.e. the soundness of his path], his composure and ‘aql [sound reasoning or intellect]”
So the above statement is an example of that which was doctored by Al-Halabi purposely to suit his own agenda and methodology. Ali Al-Halabi transmitted a cut down version, in his book [Manhajus Salafus Saaleh’ 2nd Edition’ page 229] from the statement of Imaam Abdur-Rahmaan As-Sadi (rahimahullaah) as follows:
من الغلط الفاحش الخطر قبول قول الناس بعضهم ببعض، ثم يبنى عليه السامع حبا أو بغضا، ومدحا وذما؛ فكم حصل بهذا الغلط من
أمور صار عاقبتها الندامة، وكم أشاع الناس عن الناس أمورا لا حقيقة لها بالكلية،
فالواجب على العاقل التثبت والتحرز، وعدم التسرع.
وبهذا يعرف دين المرء ورزانته وعقله
Specimen of halabis doctored version
So based on the above version (transmitted by Al-Halabi Al-Mubtadi), it means that the Imaam said “from the repugnant dangerous mistakes is when people accept one another’s speech, then the one who hears that speech establishes love, hate, praise and dispraise based on that”; then he [Halabi] went on to complete it with “how many mistakes have been committed (through this behaviour) regarding affairs whose end result became a matter of regret?! And how many affairs have been spread by people from other people which are a complete unreality?! Therefore, it is obligated on an aaqil (i.e. a sensible person of intellect) that he ascertains, takes precaution and not to be hasty. And by way of this, the religion of a person is known (i.e. soundness of his path), his composure and aql (sound reasoning or intellect).
After Ali Al-Halabi transmitted this statement, he commented, saying: “Be careful, may Allaah protect you; the Shaikh (i.e. Imaam Sadi) did not distinguish in this warning regarding accepting from a thiqah (a reliable person) and ghayr thiqah (an unreliable person)! Indicating to the mistake that may occur even from a reliable person; and the مفاسد (corrupt affairs), محن (adversities, trials ordeals etc), بلاء (affliction) and إحن (enmity, rancour, malice arises from some affair) that results from it. (See specimen on next page)
Specimen of Halabis comments
Dear Reader take note! Halabi purposely cut out from the speech of Imaam As-Sadi in order to confuse the reader. The principle utilised by ahlus-Sunnah is that we accept the news given by the one who is thiqah (the trustworthy, reliable person) without the need to verify or check the statement. Halabi wants to distort and change this principle and so purposely omits the following sentence:
[و لها بعض الحقيقة فنميت بالكذب والزور، وخصوصا ممن عرفوا بعدم المبالاة بالنقل، أو عرف منهم الهوى –
“Or it has some reality, so lies and falsehood are added to it, especially those known for not having concern regarding what they narrate, or known for following desires.”
So why is it omitted? Because if he were to include the full statement, it would no longer give credence to his own innovated principle of “having to verify from everyone – thiq’a (trustworthy) or ghayr thiq’a (non trustworthy)”. Furthermore he makes manifest his own innovated principle, as part of his notes, in order to pollute the reader’s thinking into holding that you “must check and verify the statements of a thiqa’ person”, in the same way you must verify one who isn’t thiqa’. This is in contradiction to even how Imaam as-Sa’di(rahimahullah) presented it, as he was making clear to the reader to beware those who are untrustworthy-not trustworthy.
So let us see what Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah) stated regarding the news given by a faasiq (open sinner) and a truthful person. Allaah (The Most High) said: “O you who believe! If a faasiq comes to you with news, verify it.”
Imaam Sadi commented on this ayah saying:
“This is also from the etiquettes expected from those of understanding to adorn themselves with and implement. And that when a faasiq informs them of some news, they [should] verify the news he transmits (to them) and don’t just simply accept it; for indeed there is a grave danger in that and [risk] of falling into sin. Because if his news is made the same as that of a truthful upright person, the decision is made in accordance with that and what it necessitates. Then lost of lives and wealth occurs without due right due to that information, resulting in regret.
Rather what it is obligatory is that when a faasiq transmits news, it is verified and clarified. If the proofs and supporting factors affirm his truthfulness, it is acted upon and believed. And if they indicate to falsehood, it is declared false and not acted upon.
So in this is a proof that the news [transmitted by] the truthful one is accepted and the news from the liar rejected, while the news from a faasiq is (temporarily) suspended as we have mentioned, and that is why the Salaf would accept narrations from many of those (particular) khawaarij who were well known to be truthful, even if they were wicked sinners.”
Abu Usaamah’s Similar deceitful, cutting, pasting & doctoring to suit his own agenda- Live on stage! A Mirror of the Above from Halabi…
In 2010 Abu Usaamah ad-Dhahabi carried out a similar action, whereby he added to the words of Shaikh Sadlaan during a tele-link. This is an imitation of his mubtadi Shaykh Ali Al Halabi—about whom Abu Usamah himself said (in his feeble video defence when ending up in the wrong masjid):
I am a supporter of Ali Hasan Al-Halabi. I support him. I support what he is upon. His mistakes we put that aside. I say that in public and I say that in private.
Ustaadh Abdulilah Lahmami (may Allaah preserve him) caught him at the time, writing:
“Then Abu Usama Khalifah added in the translation that Sheikh Rabee’ should stop “cursing the dead people… “Due to a hadeeth of the Prophet salallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam mentioning this. This addition was not mentioned by Sheikh Sadlan in the Arabic so take note.”
So once again, Abu Usaamah was caught out, adding to the speech of the Shaykh in order to cause confusion, and fitnah; and spread rancour in the hearts of the people toward Shaykh Rabee’ (hafidhahullah)- and this due to nothing except, that which burns inside him, against the noble Shaykh; and the Salafis as a whole. Ustaadh Abdulilah (may Allaah preserve him) also said:
“After visiting Sheikh Rabee’ ibn Haadi Al-Madkhali this weekend, he added that one should clarify to the people that he does not curse the dead (as Abu Usama khalifah added) and likewise to make mention that the scholars have always refuted the errors of those who have erred. Likewise, these refutations are a mercy for the dead so that people don’t follow them in their errors.’’2
Here we remind you again the statement of Shaikh Muhammad Baazmool: “And whenever you find the statement of a muhaqqiq scholar being utilized as proof by a person of bid’ah and falsehood in seeking to establish his falsehood; and you refer that statement back to its original source- you will not find except that this (person of falsehood) did cut off and separate some part of it from another part.’’3
And so we can see that the bid’ee Abu Usaamah is just a mirror of his innovator Shaykh Ali Hassan Al-Halabi. There is no difference in their methodology! This is affirmed by Abu Usaamah ad-Dhahabi’s own statements as quoted before; as well as his actions, wherein both have been caught twisting speech of the Scholars of truth and Sunnah, in order to suit their agenda and ideology that they want to promote.
It is important that the noble reader is made aware of such sneaky trickery, lest they be taken in by their speech, and be taken astray, and with Allah is the success.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
In his deceptive response to the Friday incident at al-Markazus Salafi, the Bid’ee attacked our beloved teachers, elders and brothers at SP, as usual accusing them of Ghuloo. We have already replied to the Bid’ee’s slander that we are upon a bidah principle –[Link: http://www.salaficentre.com/2016/04/8-a-series-in-response-to-abu-usaamas-habitual-deceitfulness-motivated-by-deep-malice-he-made-a-fruitless-and-desperate-attempt-to-prove-that-we-follow-a-shaikh-who-is-upon-bidah/] and now we will briefly make known why the Bid’ee hates the students and elders at SP.
Indeed, the malice and hatred harboured by the Bid’ee against the Salafiyoon at SP is due to nothing else other than the fact that they repel his lowly desires and corrupt hizbi ambitions. Shaikh Shamsuddeen Al-Afghani (rahimahullaah) said: ”Ahlul Bidah are the ones who kindle trials and disorder. They are a chaotic people and are deprived of safety and security. They are a people of trials and disturbance as opposed to Ahlul Hadeeth Was-Sunan (i.e. those who steadfastly follow the ahaadeeth of the Prophet and his Sunnah). Have they (i.e. the people of Sunnah) committed what the people of bidah and trials have committed?! The people of bidah trespass- alongside enmity and innovation- whilst Ahlus Sunnah respond and defend (the religion)”. [Source: عداء الماتريدية للعقيدة السلفية 1/26-27]
The Bid’ee cannot come to terms with the fact that SP – by the Mercy and Tawfeeq of Allaah- have remained steadfast, neither compromising with Mubtadi’ah nor their obstinate followers; rather they continue to transmit the sound Aqeedah and Manhaj from the scholars. He cannot come to terms with the fact his continued public stunts -in order to slander SP- has always met failure. And among those incidents was Shaikh Wasiyullah’s first visited to the Uk, Shaikh Sadlaan’s visit, the different attempts to entice speakers from Saudi, such as Dr Ali Shibl to beautify Greenlane’s ugly affair etc. All these public stunts failed miserably because SP held onto the sound Manhaj positions, for regardless who visits Greenlane’s Admin or speaks good of them, their hizbiyyah still manifests itself like the midday sun. How can an Admin that cooperate with the people of Bidah [at Ihyaa at-Turaath, al-Maghrib Institute and other deviants] be benefitted by any praise?! A person is judged based on what he is upon, so listen to the clarification here: http://safeshare.tv/v/bWPR3Eacn4k
SP did not compromise with anyone, but the Bid’ee compromised and thus ended up in the fitnah of the Mubtadi’ah, the people of Bidah, the hizbiyyoon, the Mu’mayyi’oon – be it Al-Halabi, Al-Maribi, Ihyaa at-Turaath etc Rather, the Bid’ee has even defended Ismaeel Menk – a deobandi. See refutation of Ismaaeel-Menk:http://www.salaficentre.com/2014/01/who-is-mufti-menk/http://safeshare.tv/v/ss570a54c03bd31
The Bid’ee beautifies the filth of these people of bidah; yet SP are the Ghulaat! This is the despicable opinion of this spiteful transgressor against those who are foremost in bringing clarity in the West, and continue to do so by the permission and Tawfeeq of Allaah (The Most High). These are the Ghulaat, according to Abu Usaama, because they expose his lowly desires, repel his crimes against the Salafi Manhaj and unveil the malicious insinuations of his mentors. None trusts or entertains this spiteful transgressor except those who employ him at Greenlane to do their dirty job or those who are unaware of his true state of affairs. As for his unsuspecting followers, there is nothing that describes his relationship with them better than the saying: ‘’The trust of the innocent is the liar’s most useful tool.’’
As for the Salafiyyoon, he attempts to stab them with his bidah, deceptions and doubts, but when caught he cuts himself – bleeding and playing the victim game. This is why whenever he seeks to deceive and gets caught, he screams ‘the Ghulaat!’ This behaviour is nothing else but a painful manifestation of frustration because the Salafiyyoon already know that his lies and deceptions are underpinned by an unquestionable acquaintance with the truth he wishes to hide or distort.
The Salafiyyoon know that his perverse and strong desire to slander them is underpinned by nothing else but unjustified vengeance – stop destroying my plots against the sound Manhaj positions or else I will slander you!!! This is what his actions and statements necessitate; so if what he hides is worse than what he manifests- and only Allaah knows this- then may Allaah open his heart to guidance or give the spiteful transgressor what he deserves. Aameen
The Manhaj of SP is clear and there are no ambiguities in the affair, so ask yourselves the following questions:
*Does Abu Khadeejah, Abu Hakeem and Maktabah Salafiyyah defend or co-operate with a single Mubtadi? No indeed; rather it is the bid’ee who promotes Mubtadiah!
*Do they have any links with a single Mubtadi or an organization that defends Mubtadi’ah? Do they co-operate with the Jamaa’aat Siyaasiyah or those who co-operate with such Jamaa’aat? No indeed; rather it is the Bid’ee who cooperates with Ihyaa at-Turaath, Al-Maghrib Institute and others!
*Do they co-operate with ahlul bidah wal-ahwaa or anyone associated with them? No indeed; rather it is the bid’ee who promotes and defends the deobandi Ismaaeel Menk!
*Do they promote the innovated principles of Hasan Al-Banna and Ikhwaan al muslimeen, or associate with anyone who does so? No indeed; rather it is Bid’ee who praises al-Maribi (an upholder of ikhwaani principles)!
*Do they uphold the false Manhaj of Muwaazanah or associate with anyone who promotes such false principles? No indeed; rather it is the Bid’ee who praises Al-Maribi (an upholder of Muwaazanaat)!
*Do they defend Sayyid Qutb or co-operate with anyone who defends him? No indeed; rather it is the Bid’ee who sits with Ihyaa at-Turaath (sympathisers of Sayyid)!
*Do they endorse the false principles: “We do not disparage but we only correct mistakes’’ and “Let’s not make our differing about someone else a reason for differing among ourselves?’’ No indeed; rather it is the Bid’ee who defends and supports Ali al-Halabi (an upholder of these false principles)!
*Do they make a differentiation between Aqeedah and Manhaj when the scholars pass judgements against the people of bidah, or do they have a link with anyone who calls to these false principles? No indeed; rather their websites are filled with clarifications regarding this important affair!
*Do they hold the false view that the Salaf differed in Aqeedah, or do they have a link with anyone who holds this false view? No indeed; they have no link with any of these people!
*Do they revile the Sahaabah and defend those who call them Ghuthaa-iyyah, or co-operate with anyone who defends such people? No indeed; rather it is the Bid’ee who praises al Maribi (the innovator of this speech)!
*Do they utilise innovated principles in order to place the misguided sects, parties and organizations into the arena of ahlus Sunnah, or do they co-operate with anyone who deliberately utilises such false principles? No indeed; rather it is the Bid’ee who praises al-Maribi (an upholder of this calamity)!
*Do they utilise the principles of the contemporary Mubtadi’ah, such as Ali Al-Halabi, Abul Hasan al-Maribi, Muhammad Al-Maghraawi, Yahyah al-Hajoori and others similar to them, or do they co-operate with anyone who defends these Mubtadi’ah after being well aware of the unambiguous knowledge based refutations against them? No indeed; rather they refute all these Mubtadi’ah!
*Do they praise Ahmad Raza Khan Brelvi, or was it Abdul Haadi who praised Him? No indeed; rather they refute those who shelter the people who uttered such falsehood!
Indeed, it is not SP who commit crimes against the Salafi Manhaj, rather it is the Bid’ee and his associates who are guilty of it. We remind ourselves once again; Shaikh Shamsuddeen Al-Afghani (rahimahullaah) said: Ahlul Bidah are the ones who kindle trials and disorder. They are a chaotic people and are deprived of safety and security. They are a people of trials and disturbance as opposed to Ahlul Hadeeth Was-Sunan (i.e. those who steadfastly follow the ahaadeeth of the Prophet and his Sunnah). Have they (i.e. the people of Sunnah) committed what the people of bidah and trials have committed?! The people of bidah trespass- alongside enmity and innovation- whilst Ahlus Sunnah respond and defend (the religion). [Source: عداء الماتريدية للعقيدة السلفية 1/26-27]
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Firstly: The Salafiyyoon have witnessed the fact that Abu Usaama is a foul mouthed bid’ee and they have not allowed him to drag them to his level. The one with truth is not in need of such filth; rather such behaviour is a clear manifestation and expression of his weak intellect. He is a very frustrated bid’ee because whenever he attempts deceit, the Salafiyyoon expose him. Therefore, unless he starts accepting responsibility for his actions and sincerely accepts the fact that every single valid criticism against him is due to his actions, it will prove very difficult to repel that big ego by way which shaytaan makes him feel safe behind a wall of lies.
Secondly: Besides the fact that he is a foul mouthed bid’ee, he also goes into extremes in seeking to prove himself trustworthy, even though deception is his second skin. So whilst attempting to prove his trustworthiness, Abu Usaamah invokes the curse of Allaah against himself and his children! In 2004, he made an invocation that if he is lying, may Allaah curse him and his children, and cause them to die outside the fold of Islaam. He uttered this statement whilst seeking to make recantations (as he claimed); but since then his affair has become worse; for at present he openly cooperates with the worst of the hizbiyyoon – Ihyaa at- Turaath, Greenlane Masjid and their allies at al-Maghrib Institute.
So all that drama in 2004 to prove his truthfulness has shown no truthful actions regarding his stance towards the Mubtadi Al-Maribi, rather he has only increased in transgression- from finding excuses for the Ikhwani Mubtadi Al-Maribi, to finding excuses for the Murji Mubtadi Ali Al-Halabi and cooperating with the innovators of Ihyaa at-Turaath. This is his state of affairs in 2016 after invoking the curse of Allaah against himself and his children in 2004.
However, it is manifestly clear that he has not learnt a lesson, for recently he invoked the same curse again. He is solely responsible for his own deeds; so why include his children in such evil! He was the one who chose to defend Mubtadi’ah and was refuted, so why not take the responsibility on his own?
Thirdly: Do we see the scholars -[Shaikh Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz, Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen, Shaikh Albaani, Shaikh Fawzaan, Shaikh Rabee, Shaikh Ubaid, Shaikh Abdul Muhsin, Shaikh Abdul Azeez Aala Shaikh, Shaikh Luhaydaan, Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadi and others]- behaving in this manner?! No indeed!
Finally: Perhaps Abu Usaamah is so overwhelmed by his bidah that he is extremely oblivious of the evil he invokes against his children in order to prove the unprovable. We thought that by now his unsuspecting followers would have realised the foolishness of this man. Indeed, he is not absolved of accountability, unless it is known that he is mentally unstable. His desperate attempts at enforcing his rejection of the truth by invoking curses against his children will neither solve his problems nor cancel the unambiguous proofs against him. How foolish, idiotic, short-sighted and evil of a man who knows that he is upon falsehood and is an established liar, yet he invokes the curse of Allaah against his children in order to prove his fraudulent stances. He should solely bear the burden of his crimes. We ask Allaah to protect his children. Aameen.
