Sufyaan Ath-Thawree (rahimahullaah) said:
Evil deeds are a disease and the scholars are a remedy; so who will cure the disease if the scholars become corrupted’’
[Hilyatul Awliyaa: 6/361]
All praise is due to Allaah and may His salaah and salaam be upon our noble Prophet Muhammad, his family and companions. To proceed:
I [Abu Mu-aawiyyah (Abdullaah al-Gambi) asked Ustaadh Abdul Waahid Abu Khadeejah (may Allaah preserve him) about the state of affairs of Abdur-Raheem McCarthy Al-Amreekee after coming across his mixing haqq with Baatil, his exaggerations and defence of the people of hizbiyyah such as the likes of Abu Muslimah and the people to be treated the same as Ahlul Bidah such as Abu Usaamah; so he (Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah) said to me: ‘’Narrate from me that I heard Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadee (may Allaah preserve him) saying: ‘’I warn against Abdur-Raheem.’’
Next topic Inshaa-Allaah:
The false claim of Abdur Raheem that the Salafis hide the commendation (Tadeel) given to certain scholars who were imprisoned and promote the Jarh against them. Indeed, we do not know whether to cry or laugh at this nonsense. Abdur-Raheem–the deceiver– neither mentioned the names of those so called scholars nor did he give details of the Tadeel for them and the Jarh against them. Indeed, we do not expect the likes of Abdur-Raheem to be brave enough to argue his position with Ilm, proofs and evidences; rather he utilised the methods of the Hizbiyyoon (i.e. general statements that can be utilised for both haqq and baatil, and then he chose to utilise them for baatil). Inshaa-Allaah, we will discuss this in the next post and also the affair of Saeed Rageah another deceiver who exaggerates and mixes haqq with baatil.
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Sometimes a narration may come from someone from whom it is obligatory to accept, or from whom it is obligatory to reject, or from whom it is necessary to withhold from (until further clarification). And how foolish it would be, that that which is from the truth which the Seal of the Prophets conveyed from His Lord, the Mighty and Majestic and that which is from the falsehood that Allaah and His Messenger are free of, should be known by other than knowing the conditions of the narrators.
It is likewise for the various historical occurrences. In fact the need for knowing the condition of those who narrate them is even more severe, due to the prevalent neglect in the narration of such events and occurrences.
(And this is) in addition to the fact that being acquainted with condition of men is itself one of most important branches of history. So when it is necessary to be acquainted with the condition and state of the narrators, it is also necessary to make this known, so that everyone who knows the condition of a narrator should inform (others) about his condition, so that the people may know of it.
And this Ummah has (indeed) acted upon this obligation in the desired manner.

All praise be to Allaah and may His Salaah and Salaam be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and companions. To proceed:
Indeed, the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ‘’Three things destroy: The greed that is obeyed, the desires that are followed and a person being amazed with his own opinion. [Silsilah Al-hadeeth as-saheehah: Number: 1802: 4/412-416]
Shaikh Raslaan (may Allaah preserve him) said:
This (i.e. these three affairs) are never in harmony with a (person’s) complete return to the command of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) [For further details: See: Ash-Shi-aaraat Wahdahaa Laa Takfee: page: 35].
The Shaikh also said:
Indeed the great religion of Islaam is founded upon knowledge and not ignorance; but when a person is amazed with himself and his opinion, and when splitting occurs in the Ummah in the big affairs of knowledge and every foolish one formulates his own independent judgement; there comes about an uncontrollable chaos and it then proceeds upon a path that has no halter, and then it becomes an affair of trial, corruption, confusion and deviation, and an affair in which truth is confounded with falsehood…[end of quote] [For further details see: Ash-Shi-aaraat Wahdahaa Laa Takfee: page:39 and footnote number 1]
This short article is a reminder to the salafi brothers and sisters in Manchester concerning the real state of affairs of Abu Eesaa Niqmatullaah. This brother is well known to the Salafiyyoon at Al-Markaz As-Salafi (Cheethamhill–Manchester). He is a deceiver and caller to some of the people of bidah and hizbiyyah. His companionship with some of the people of bidah is well-known; rather he openly declares his allegiance to such people. Although he may utter statements which the common people regard to be in harmony with the Manhaj of the Salaf, however this is all in contradiction to his real state of affairs. Shaikh Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said: ‘’The sensible person does not (merely) look at what is apparent, rather he looks at the reality.’’ [Al-Uboodiyyah]

‘’And Imaan is known about a man, just as all the states of his heart are known by way of his (outward) allegiances, enmities, his rejoicing, anger, hunger, thirst, and other such affairs. For these matters have certain outward binding necessities [Lawaazim Dhaahirah] and the outward matters necessitate inward matters. And this is a matter known, the people know this concerning the one that they have experienced and tested. [Minhaajus Sunnah: 8/475][http://www.salafipublications.com/sp…articlePages=1]

Reader: Ponder again upon the words of Shaikh Raslaan:
But when a person is amazed with himself and his opinion, and when splitting occurs in the Ummah in the big affairs of knowledge and every foolish one formulates his own independent judgement; there comes about an uncontrollable chaos and it then proceeds upon a path that has no halter, and then it becomes an affair of trial, corruption, confusion and deviation, and an affair in which truth is confounded with falsehood…

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
A refutation of a doubt spread by the people of (religious) innovations who say: “Take the truth and leave the falsehood from the statements and the books of people of (religious) innovations!”
Sheikh Khâlid Dahwî Ad-Dufayrî refutes this doubt by saying:
“And from the means to be safe from tribulations is to keep away from the people of (religious) innovations, to be cautious of them and to warn against them. This is a salafi foundation stated by the people of knowledge and it has been indicated by the Qurân, the Sunnah and by the statements of the pious predecessors: the Companions, their successors and others.
The people of knowledge agree upon leaving people of (religious) innovations and keeping away from them and this consensus has been reported by many scholars.
They all agree upon keeping away from the people of (religious) innovations and not to read their books nor look into them, except for the one who[1] wants to refute them. As for the general people then they should not read nor listen to anything except from the people of knowledge and they should keep away from the people of desires; they listen to people of Sunnah and keep away from people of (religious) innovations and we do not utter that misguided and innovated rule which is: “Take the truth and leave the falsehood”.
There is no doubt that we have been commanded to take the truth and to leave the falsehood but we have not been commanded to seek the truth from the people of (religious) innovations and people of desires!
We take the truth from the pure sources and we take it from the place where there is neither doubt nor any (religious) innovation!

Ali Halabi’s Unsteady Stance towards Passing Judgments on Individuals and Deviants
[Adnaan Ar’oor and Muhammad Al-Maghraawi]
Discussion in pages 16-20 in the Arabic PDF. Download PDF here:
http://www.ajurry.co…07&d=1351203443
Before the death of the three Mashaa-yikh [i.e. Imaam Bin Baaz, Imaam Al-Albaanee and Imaam Muhammad Ibn Uthaymeen(rahimahumullaah)], Adnaan Ar’oor together with his companion Ahmad Sallaam newly invented a number of principles and fundamentals in the affair of passing judgements against individuals and the manner of dealing with the Mukhaalifoon. And for that reason, they embarked upon a number of seminars and study sessions in order to attract the salafi youth in Britain and other than it, and they called them to accept those false principles.
In their gatherings, they raised objections against Shaikh Rabee’s methodology of criticism, refutation, his stances towards the one in opposition and in the science Jarh Wat-Tadeel. They warned the youth against the methodology which they described as extreme, excessive harshness and defamation. They defended Sayyid Qutb and portrayed him to the youth as one of the best amongst those who spoke in the (affairs) of Manhaj. Shaikh Rabee opposed them and clarified the corruption of their principles and methodology and the falsity of their fundamentals and what they advocated. So they were infuriated and announced a fierce battle against Shaikh Rabee. This affair was the beginning of the Fitnah of these people and not what some think due to ignorance and deceit, that it was Shaikh Rabee who initiated the Fitnah and war with these ones.
And through a number of deceptive ways, Adnaan Ar’oor attempted to obtain the statements of the three Mashaa-yikh (Imaam Bin Baaz, Imaam Al-Albaanee and Imaam Ibn Uthaymeen) to support his falsehood and dispraise the methodology Shaikh Rabee was defending. He (Adnaan) did not reach what he wanted, because the scholars realised his plots and tricks.
And it was transmitted in a statement of Imaad Taariq Al-Iraaqee in the internet forum Kullu As-Salafiyyeen, which is under Ali Halabi’s supervision: [The Stance of our Imaam Al-Albaanee Towards Shaikh Rabee Al-Madkhali’s Refutation Against Adnaan Ar’oor, transmitted by our shaikh Ali Al-Halabi]; Imaad said: I came across a section from the speech of our Shaikh Al-Halabi in which he transmitted the stance of Shaikh Al-Albaanee towards Shaikh Rabee’s reproach against Adnaan, that when I (Ali Halabi) mentioned some of Shaikh Rabee’s proofs against Adnaan to Shaikh Al-Albaanee and Adnaan reply, he (i.e. Shaikh Al-Albaanee) said: These affairs are true, it is incumbent upon Adnaan to reply to them with clarity, and abstract speech is not enough or merely saying this is general and that is detailed and this is all inclusive and that is specific and so on, this neither rectifies nor is it of benefit in the likes of this affair.

Ali Halabi Before and After the Death of Imaam Al-Albaanee (rahimahullaah)
In this section we will quote directly from the author and in other places where the discussion is lengthy, we will paraphrase.
The author said:
‘’During the lifetime of the Mujad-did of the era Imaam Al-lbaanee (rahimahullaah), Ali Halabi was a caller to the Sunnah alongside his brothers from Ahlus Sunnah and an opponent of innovation and its people. He used to wage war against hizbiyyah, warned against its paths and consequences. He used to wage war against Takfeer and the Manhaj of the Qutubiyyoon. He used to wage war against those who spoke ill of the scholars and the Salafi Mashaa-yikh. He used to wage war against the activists and people of politics. [political activists: http://www.spubs.com/sps/downloads/pdf/MNJ130030.pdf]
He used to wage war against the innovated views and calls, and he was manifest in warning against the Mukhaalifoon (those who hold affairs that are in opposition to the book, the Sunnah, the ijmaa and correct positions), the groups and individuals; and he particularized them when making a mention of them. He aided the (sound) fundamental principles of Ahlus Sunnah and nullified the (corrupt) principles of the various innovators. There is no doubt that this is from that which Halabi benefitted in his sittings with Shaikh Al-Albaanee (rahimahullaah), as it is not hidden from anyone regarding Shaikh Al-Albaanee’s state of affairs with the Mukhaalifeen.’’[end of quote]
Lengthy Discussion [paraphrased and abridged]
Before the death of Shaikh Al-Albaanee (rahimahullaah), a guy by the name of Muhammad Abu Raheem kindled a Fitnah with regards to the issue of Imaan and disbelief amongst the salafis. He relied upon the well- known Qutubi Safar Al-Hawaalee and his book Dhaahiratul Irjaa Fee Fikr Al-Islaamiy. This Muhammad Abu Raheem began directing his attacks at Ali Halabi and there came about refutations from both parties against one another. When the affair reached Shaikh Al-Albaanee, he declared Muhammad Abu Raheem wrong and Ali Halabi correct. So Muhammad Abu Raaheem turned on Shaikh Al-Albaanee and accused him of Irjaa using the Qutbi Safar Al-Hawaalee as proof. However, Muhammad Abu Raheem was brought down on his feet and was lowered in the eyes of the salafi. [See the following links for the verdicts of the scholars against Salmaan and Safar: [http://www.salafipublications.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=NDV12&articleID=GRV070001&articlePages=1][http://www.spubs.com/sps/downloads/pdf/NDV120006.pdf]
At first Ali Halabi did not speak in detail in the subject matter of Eemaan, because whenever false accusations reached Shaikh Al-Albaanee that he (i.e. Al-Albaanee) has fallen to irjaa, he would explain and detail the affair. [See following links: The scholars free Al-Albaanee from Irjaa]http://www.salafipublications.com/sps/downloads/pdf/MSC060021.pdf] http://www.salafipublications.com/sps/downloads/pdf/MSC060017.pdf
Ali Halabi Enters into the Discussion of the Subject Matter of Eemaan
Ali Halabi agreed with the book of Muraad Shukri which was against Takfeer, but also contained mistakes in the subject matter of Eemaan and kufr [see page: 12 on this PDF]. So when Mourad Shukri’s book reached the Committee of Major Scholars in the leadership of the Mufti of the Era Shaikh Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah), the Committee passed a verdict against the book that it aided the school of thought of Irjaa and warned against the book and its author. This left Halabi in a state of great bewilderment due to his agreement with the author, and actually on the cover of the book, it was written:[Read, revised and approved for printing by Shaikh Ali Al-Halabi], but on the other hand he had to acknowledge the truth of that which the Committee of Major scholars pronounced. And at the time, Halabi stated in [Majallah Al-Furqaan Number 101]: ‘’The book (i.e. Mourad Shukri’s Book) was expressed in the author’s views, based on what he carried out of research and what was evident to him.’’ Halabi made these remarks despite the fact that he did revise and approve its printing without clarifying any errors in it. However, Halabi’s final statement on the affair was that of recantation; he said: ‘’And Indeed I praise Allaah and for His bestowal Tawfeeq, that I free myself from the least and all of that, in agreement with the scholars of Islaam and the distinguished Imaams. And with regards to that which I erred or (that which) was not clear to me in something of its affair, in this subject matter and other than it, then indeed I recant from it (i.e. from such errors), returning to what is correct (whilst) neither (harbouring) pride nor doubt.’’ [See page: 13 in the PDF]
