Exercise patience with the plots of the envious one, for indeed your patience kills him;
The fire consumes some of itself when it does not find something to consume.
We seek Allaah’s protection from those whose lives are consumed with envy and restlessness–those who constantly seek to find fault with those young students of knowledge who are busy transmitting the works of the scholars at Al-Markaz As-Salafi and else where.
Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) stated in As-Sawaa-iq Al-Mursala 3/1038 about Bishr Al-Marreesee a head of the Mutazilah that he said to his companions: ”If they (i.e. Ahlus Sunnah) bring evidence against you by way of the Qur’an, then seek to prove them wrong by way of erroneous interpretation. And if they bring evidence against you by way of the narrations (of the Messenger), then repel those narrations through disconfirmation.”
Imaam Dhahabi (rahimahullaah) stated in Siyar from Abdur-Rahmaan Ibn Mahdi (rahimahullaah) from Taawoos (rahimahullaah) who said: I heard Ibraaheem Ibn Adham (rahimahullaah) saying: ”A person who loves fame cannot be truthful to Allaah’’
Ibn Abdul Barr (rahimahullaah) said: Al-Hasan (rahimahullaah) said:
”The punishment for a scholar is the demise of the heart; so it was said to him: ”What is the demise of the heart?” He said: ”Seeking the worldly life through actions that are done for (reward) in the afterlife.”
A man hit an animal and broke its hand, and thereafter the animal died; what is the ruling on this?
Answer:
We do not know which animal it is, and whether it is one of importance or of a valuable price. So what is intended here is that you are not held responsible except that it is impermissible for you to punish an animal. You have sinned in the sight of Allaah and it is incumbent upon you to repent. As for kaffaara (i.e. a prescribed act of expiation for this sin of yours), then there is none incumbent upon you.’’

Halabi’s state of affairs exploded when he authored his book titled Manhajus Salaf As-Saalih in 1429AH to wage a so called war against ”Those who exceed the limits when criticising others”; however in reality this book manifested the corrupt principles he used to hide from the Salafis, which he established in order to decfend the people of innovation and aid the Manhaj of Tamyee. This Manhaj of Tamyee was firstly established by Abul Hasan Al-Maribi (The Innovator), but Halabi completed it.
Therefore, Shaikh Rabee and his students refuted and warned against Halabi’s book but they refrained from declaring him an innovator. Then Halabi and his students set up a website to wage war against Shaikh Rabee and his students, and they were accompanied by some of the people of ignorance and desires who raised his status. They went into extremes in speaking ill of the Salafi Scholars of this era and described them with the ugliest descriptions. They also propagated the doubts of ikhwaan al-Muslimeen and that of the illegal partisans until this website became a place for some of the deviants and the people of Tamyee; and until one could not notice a big difference between it and the websites of the ikhwaan al-Muslimeen and the people of illegal partisanship; and until he manifested an affair which no truthful salafi can ignore – his praise of the Book titled ‘Risaalatu Amaan’ a book that contained statements concerning Wahdatul Adyaan [the call to the unity of Religions].
So the Salafis refuted Halabi for praising this Book and clarified the severity of the affair. However, his students defended and praised the book, and they warned against those who refuted it. Then Halabi agreed with his students in their defence of the book and this was a great catastrophe. Then Shaikh Rabee warned against Halabi and declared him an innovator.

Halabi Defended Those Who Were Refuted For Their deviations
Observations were made concerning the state of affairs of Usaamah Qoosee, Abu Ishaaq Al-Huwaynee, Muhammad Hassaan and Muhammad Husain Yaqoob; but even before a group of people rallied behind them and listened to them, they did utter statements indicating their deviation from the Salafi Manhaj. Therefore, the Salafis demanded from them a recantation from these deviations, but they did not; rather they launched a war against those Salafi Scholars who refuted them.
Then Ali Halabi and his companions at Markaz Imaam Albaanee did nothing but join the ranks of these people in opposing Shaikh Rabee and his brothers amongst the Salafi scholars. He did this under the false pretence of pursuing the middle path and that they were waging war against Extremism in the affair of Criticism and declaring people innovators without a justified reason. So Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi stopped him and Mash-hoor Hasan in their tracks by refuting and warning against them. Likewise, Shaikh Ubaid did the same. As for Shaikh Rabee, he exercised a lot of patience towards Halabi and his companions and advised them repeatedly. He advised them repeatedly despite the fact that they did utter unbefitting statements against him. However, he still gave them a final advice in his house but it did not benefit them.
Then a hidden affair became manifested and that was the connection between Markaz Imaam Albaanee and the organisation Ihyaa Turaath—that organization well known for hizbiyyah, politics, its Qutbi orientation and affiliation with one of the heads of innovation of this era known as Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul Khaaliq.

Al-Allaamah Al-Izz Bin Abdis Salaam (rahimahullaah) said: Had it not been for the appointment of a ruler, the beneficial universal affairs would have been lost, universal corruption would have become the reality, the strong would have overcome the weak and the (immoral) lowly ones would have overcome the noble (mannered) ones.
Shaikh Abdus-Salaam Burgess (rahimahullaah) said: The explanation of this is that the majority of the children of Adam are inclined towards injustice and love of vengeance. And had it not been that there was a ruler who administers their affairs, they would have become like the beasts of the wild and fish of the sea—the strong eats the weak.

Shaikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan exposes the falsehood of the Kuffaar
“Whoever believes in Allah and the Last day then let him speak good or remain silent”
Bukhaari & Muslim
And the Messenger of Allah – صلى الله عليه و سلم -said
“A good word is charity”
Saheeh Al Jaami’ As Sagheer: Al-Albani
“The majority of sins of the children of Aadam (عليه الصلاة و السلام) are because of his tongue.”
Saheeh Al Jaami’ As Sagheer: Al-Albani
Imaam An-Nawawi commented on the first hadeeth *:
This hadeeth is clear that it is befitting that you do not speak except if the speech is good and that there is a clear benefit. And when there is doubt (whether there is) a clear benefit then you do not speak.
Know that it is befitting for every person (who has reached the age of accountability and is sane) that he preserves his tongue from all speech except if the speech is clear in its benefit.
And when the benefit in speaking or leaving speech is equal; then the Sunnah is to refrain from speaking. Because it is possible that permissible speech can be swept along and become impermissible or disliked speech and this is the norm in most cases; and there is nothing that can equal safety.

The First Sickness: Mockery
It is to belittle the people, making fun of them and encroaching upon their rights. Indeed Allaah has warned (us) against committing this crime that occurs from those who are conceited with themselves and look down on others. Allaah (The Most High) said:
”O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are better than the former; nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than the former.” [Al-Hujuraat: Ayah: 11]
[This ayah] is imposed as prohibition against men and then to women; because this vile action occurs from all (i.e. men and women). The mocker does not stop at belittling the creation; rather he goes further in rejecting the truth, as it has been established in the authentic hadeeth from the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) that he said:
‘’Pride is to reject the truth and looking down on the people.’’ [Reported by Muslim: Kitaab Al-Eemaan; Chapter: Prohibition against pride and its clarification: 1/91, page: 93]
