Taken from www.SPubs.com Forum:
QUESTIONER: O Shaykh they say, "If you consider the seniority in age and knowledge, then Shaykh Abdul-Muhsin al-Abbaad is greater both in age and in knowledge than Shaykh Rabee". So what is your view about this?
SHAYKH RABEE?: This is a lie, a lie. I am more senior in age than him, and I am more knowledgeable of these things than him, I have studied them and he has not studied them. Meaning, that his knowledge is another field, arena, however in this field he is either left (i.e. his view left) or he studies (the matter). And I am more senior than him in age, and [Muhammad] al-Bannaa is more senior than him in age, and Shaykh an-Najmee is senior than him in age, and he is the older of all of us (i.e. the three of them Rabee', an-Najmee and al-Abbaad) and al-Bannaa is the oldest of oall of us (i.e. of the four). So when the affair is like this concerning age, then alhamdulillaah and the truth is with them. Seniority in age, and also the truth and evidences are actually with them (i.e. those older than al-Abbaad). They are asking about al-Abbaad, who is older, then it is me, and not him. And I comprehend and understand these affairs and al-Abbaad does not comprehend these affairs... the proofs are with us in this particular topic, and as for other areas, then Allaah knows best. They do not know (i.e. these people), they have not studied with Shaykh Rabee' and nor with al-Abbaad. So these tazkiyaat (commendations) are false.
QUESTIONER: O Shaykh what should our position be towards the Mashaayikh of Jordan?
SHAYKH RABEE?: The Mashaayikh of Jordan are to be advised, advise them that they should speak with the true affair. It is not permissible for them to hide the truth and to enter into baatil (falsehood), they are in need of the advice of both the kibaar (senior) and the sighaar (younger ones), so they should explain to them their errors...
