Ibn Rajab (rahimahullaah) stated: The people of innovation and misguidance—whoever (seeks) to resemble the scholars and is not from them, then it is permissible to clarify their ignorance and manifest their blame worthy (affairs), as a warning against following them.
Ustaadh Abdul Waahid (Abu Khadeejah) will deliver a lecture tonight @Masjid Salafi (Birmingham) after Salaatul Maghrib UK time. This lecture will be a clarification of the statements and stances of the scholars towards Yahyhah Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi Al-Mubtadi (may Allaah return him to correctness).

Question:
Virtuous Shaikh May Allaah grant you success; some of the people ask me about the Islamic groups present in this era, what should I do—should I give them an answer or direct them to the scholars, bearing in mind that I am a teacher in one of the schools?
Answer:
Direct them to what has been transmitted in the Ahaadeeth and it is his (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) statement: ‘’This Ummah will split into seventy three sects and all of them are in the fire except one; so it was said: ‘’which one is it O Messenger of Allaah? He said: ‘’Those who are upon the likes of that which I and my companions are upon today’’. Direct them to this hadeeth, and say: Those who are upon that which the Messenger and his companions were upon—they are Ahlus Sunnah al-Jamaa-ah. Those who oppose them are the ones promised the hell-fire, (regardless) of whatever name they are called. It is not incumbent upon you (to know) their names, (rather) what is important (to know) are (their) opposition to the methodology of Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jamaa-ah which the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and his companions were upon. Yes.

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

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?!
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Here are only three quotes from some of Shaikh Yahyah’s supporters to show you the reality of Shaikh Rabee’s observations.
First Quote:
“Yahyah your life is a blessing for the creation”
[source: Al-Khiyaanah Ad-Dawiyyah of Abdul Hameed Al-Hajoori page 111—the one printed with the introduction of An-Naasih Al-Ameen]
Second Quote:
Abdul Hameed Al-Hajoori stated about some of the opponents of Yahyah Al-Hajoori: “You shall see from what I will mention that these deceitful ones are traversing the path of shaytaan, pharaoh, haamaan and abu jahl, and many of the fortune tellers….”
[Khiyaanah Ad-Dawiyyah: page: 80]
Third Quote:
Al-Amoodee (a supporter of Shaikh Yahyah) said about Shaikh Abdur-Rahmaan Al-Adani: “How numerous has Abdur-rahmaan Al-Adani been seen in a dream in the image of a woman; and amongst them (i.e. those who saw him in their dreams) is one who saw him in the image of a beautiful adorned woman, whilst the people stared at her.”
[Zajar: page 80 the first Halaqah]
[Source: For further details, see the criticism written by Abdur Rahmaan Bin Ahmad Al-Barmakiy on Rajab 1429AH titled: At-Tankeel Limaa Fee Khiyaanati Abdul Hameed Wa Shaykha-hu Al-Hajoori Minal Abaateel]
We seek Allaah’s protection from illusions and ghuluww
Regardless what the extremists and fanatical supporters of Shaikh Yahyah may seek to do in portraying him in a good light, the fact remains that his errors are well known to the Mashaa-yikh and the Salafi Maraakiz. The following link is an excellent summary of what he is upon. We seek Allaah’s protection from persisting upon error.
