Topic: Is the Manhaj of Shaykh Rabee' Different to That of Shaykhs al-Albaani, Ibn Baaz and Ibn Uthaymeen?!

This is a reply to those who upon a deceptive propaganda campaign to try and deceive and hoodwink unsuspecting Salafees that the manhaj that the three Shaykhs, Imaams who passed away, is different to the manhaj of Shaykh Rabee. This campaign has been going on for a few years now, and is  rearing its head in a more overt way, especially after this fitnah of al-Ma'ribee. Al-Ma'ribee is the one who started this campaign, in a hidden way, while these great Shaykhs were alive (because doing it openly would have exposed him) and now that these Shaykhs have passed away, the followers and defenders of al-Ma'ribee are being more open, because they feel that they have some strength now!

The Statements of Shaykh al-Albaanee rahimahullaah, which are known and widespread:

quote:

الذين يردون على الشيخ ربيع ليس معهم علم , وإنما العلم مع الشيخ ربيع

"Those who refute Shaykh Rabee do not have knowledge with them. The knowledge is actually with Shaykh Rabee"


quote:

.. أما من الناحية العلمية فهي فيه والحمد لله قوية جدا  ..

As for knowledge-based angle, then this, and all praise is due to Allaah, is very strong in him...



quote:

فأريد أن أقول : إن الذي رأيته في كتابات الشيخ الدكتور : ربيع  إنها مفيدة ولا أذكر أني رأيت له خطأ , وخروجا عن المنهج الذي نحن نلتقي معه ويلتقي معنا فيه

And I wish that I say, "That which I have seen in the writings of Shaykh, Doctor, Rabee, is that they are very beneficial, and I do not recall that I have seen any mistake from him, or a departure from the manhaj in which we are together with him and he is together with us".


Note, these quotes were placed on Sahab.Net during Ramadan 1423H, in response doubts in this regard, but these are old quotes that were translated and spread many years ago. These quotes are found in the cassette "The Carrier of the Flag of al-Jarh wat-Ta'deel" and also in the book "an-Nasr al-Azeez", of Shaykh Rabee', a refutation of Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul-Khaaliq.

The Statements of Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah)

quote:
Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said, "Indeed we praise Allaah, Free is He from all imperfections, the Most High, that He makes it easy for our brother, the Doctor, Rabee' bin Haadee al-Madkhalee to visit this region. [So that] the one to whom certain matters are not apparent may come to know that our brother, may Allaah grant us and him success, is upon Salafiyyah, the way of the Salaf. And I do not mean here that Salafiyyah is a hizb (party) which is set up to oppose the Muslims outside of it,but I mean by Salafiyyah, that he (i.e. Shaikh Rabee') is upon the path of the Salaf in his Manhaj. Especially in the field of actualising Tawheed and throwing aside (i.e. refuting, clarifying) what opposes this [manhaj]. And all of us know tht Tawheed is the basis for which Allaah sent the Messengers upon them be peace and prayers...

The visit of our brother, Shaikh Rabee bin Haadee to this region, our city, Unaizah, no doubt will have a good effect and it will also become clear to many of the people what used to be hidden from them due to the scare-mongering and rumour-mongering and also letting loose the tongue [of discord]. And how numerous are those who are remorseful about what they said concerning the Ulamaa, when it becomes clear to them that they (the Ulamaa) are upon the truth."

Then one of those present at the gathering says, "There is a question concerning the books of Shaikh Rabee'?"

To which the Shaik replied, "It is apparently clear that this question is not in need of my answer. And just as Imaam Ahmad was asked about Ishaaq bin Raahawaih - rahimahumullaah - and he replied, "Someone like me is asked about Ishaaq! Rather, Ishaaq is to be asked about me." And I spoke at the beginning of my speech about that which I know about Shaikh Rabee', may Allaah grant him success, and what I mentioned has never ceased to be what I hold about him in my soul, up until this time. And his arrival here and his words that have reached me, then no doubt, they are such that they will increase a person in his love for him and in his supplication for him." End of quote. (Cassette: "Ittihaaf al-Kurraam Bi Liqaa al-Uthaimeen Ma'a Rabee al-Madhkhalee wa Muhammad al-Imaam")


So is Shaykh Rabee's manhaj different to that of Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah)?

quote:
Questioner: "What is your advice concerning the one who forbids the cassettes of Shaikh Rabee' bin Haadee [from being distributed] with the claim that they cause fitnah and that they contain praise of the Wullaat ul-Umoor of the Kingdom, and that his praise of them emanates from nifaaq (hypocrisy)?" Shaikh Ibn Uthaimeen replied: "We consider this to be a great error and mistake. Shaikh Rabee' is from the Ulamaa of the Sunnah, and from the people of goodness. His aqidah is sound and his manhaj is strong and sound. However, when he began to speak about some of the symbolic figureheads of some of the people, from amongst the latecomers they began to tarnish him with these faults". (From the three cassette series, "Kashf ul-Lathaam An Ahmad Sallaam", dated July 2000)


Though this statement of the Shaykh was made in 2000, then it applies equally so today, because only when Shaykh Rabee' began to expose the concealed Ikhwaanee Abul-Hasan al-Ma'ribee who was a flag-bearer of the Mumayyi' opposition to the manhaj of the Salaf have people now started to marginilise Shaykh Rabee' and started deceiving the people into thinking that the manhaj of Shaykh Rabee' is different to the manhaj of al-Albaani and Ibn Baaz and Ibn Uthaymeen - may Allaah protect the Salafees from their deception.
