In this speech Shaikh Raslaan (hafidha-hullaah) quotes beautiful and detailed statements of Zayd (rahimahullaah) found in his explanations of Lum’atul Ittiqaad and Usool Ath-Thalaatha… etc
Al-Allaamah Al-Faqeeh Zayd Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali (rahimahullaah) said:
”When a believer reads this Ayah [i.e. يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٍ ۚ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ –Allaah will exalt in degree those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge. And Allaah is well-Acquainted with what you do] and (the other Aayaat) similar to it, he will love knowledge; seek after it and keep in contact with its people; act upon it, call the people to it and make them have a desire for it. So he benefits himself and Allaah benefits others by way of it. Thus he follows the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-sallam) in his Dawah and conduct.”
He (rahimahullaah) said: ”Whenever a person has vast knowledge and acts upon it, he is then (from those) believers with the most perfect Imaan and the closest to his Lord (The Blessed And Exalted) than them”
Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:
”Refutation against the people of falsehood cannot be comprehensive except when it is in agreement with the (Authentic) Sunnah from every angle. And if not, the one who conforms to the (Authentic) Sunnah in a particular angle and opposes it from another angle, then those arguing against him will strive (to gain something) from that angle in which he opposed the (authentic) Sunnah, and they will use it as evidence to prove what is in agreement with what they are upon (of falsehood) from those arguments that are in opposition to the (authentic) Sunnah.” [Source:6/210- درء تعارض العقل والنقل 211]
During the Janaazah prayer does the Musallee (i.e. praying person) look at the place of his Sujood just as in the other prayers, or is that not obligatory? And what should he do if he missed more than one Takbeer of the Janaazah prayer?
Answer:
The Sunnah (legislated) for the praying person in the Janaazah prayer and other than the Janaazah (prayer) is that he looks at the place of his Sujood, so that neither absent-mindedness nor carelessness occurs in the prayer, and thus he (establishes) khushoo. This is better. If he catches some of the prayer, then what he catches is (considered to be the first part) of his prayer, (and) this is better. And what he makes up is (considered to be the) last of it (i.e. the last part of his prayer).
If he catches the third Takbeer, he (should) make Takbeer and recite Faatiha. And if his Imaam (i.e. the one leading him in prayer) performs the forth Takbeer, he performs Takbeer and sends salutations upon the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallaam). And if his Imaam performs Tasleem, he performs Takbeer and then says, [اللهم اغفر له وارحمه]; then he performs Takbeer and (thereafter) the Tasleem.
Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:
”It is befitting that a person utilises wealth in the manner he utilises his donkey for riding, and in the manner he utilises the toilet for defecation.”
[Quoted by Imam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) in Sharh Riyaadus-Saaliheen cassette number:17]
“The Sahaabah never differed in Aqeedah; rather the differing (in Aqeedah) took place after them.”[1]
Al-Allaamah Saaleh Al-Luhaydaan (may Allaah preserve him) was asked about the one who says that the sahaabah differed in aqeedah; so he said: [“أستغفر الله – none says this except a Mubtadi Daal (i.e. an innovator, astray one). [2]

Al-Allaamah Ahmad Bin Yahyah An-Najmi (rahimahullaah) was asked about the one who says that the Sahaabah differed in Aqeedah; so he replied: “The one who says that the sahaabah differed in Aqeedah should support his speech with evidences; otherwise he is a liar, false accuser…. [3]
The Shaikh (rahimahullaah) also said:
Has lying and false accusation been made easy for the utterer (of this statement) to such a level: Falsely accusing the Companions of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallaam)?! [4]
The Shaikh (rahimahullaah) also said:
”Indeed this speaker who says that the Sahaabah differed in Aqeedah–it is obligated on him to keep quiet and should be prevented from speaking about Aqeedah; because he is ignorant about it.” [5]
The Shaikh (rahimahullaah) also said:
As for differing in the rulings pertaining to subsidiary issues of (the religion) based on Ijtihaad, then this did occur between the Sahaabah and each of them stated what he saw to be the truth, and none amongst them found fault with anyone. Not a single one of them reproached the one who was in opposition to him; but the aim of this speaker–false accuser–is to pave the way for the differing of hizbiyyah (i.e. to find room– by way of this false claim–for the differing of the people of illegal partisanship against the sound Manhaj positions of the Salafis). And he has established against himself that he is a hizbi…. [6]
Ref 2: Clarification: The Muta-aalim (Pseudo Shaikh Asim Al-Hakeem) has not been declared an innovator; rather this is a general ruling and not specific to anyone until the evidence is established against such an individual. However, it shows the severity of Asim’s devilish insinuations and ignorance.
