—Continue Refuting Ahl al-Bidaʿ Who Attack the Scholars and Demolish the Foundations of their Bidʿah
Quote:
First: It is upon them not to become sad, and not to consider the attack and revilement upon them to be something strange, because this is the [reality of the] situation from the earliest times of the Salaf to this era of ours...

IN THE LATE 1990s, there were fierce battles between Ahl al-Sunnah and the Quṭbiyyah, Surūriyyah, Takfīriyyah who were attempting to destabilize Muslim lands through takfīr and tabdīʿ of the great scholars of the era such as Imām Ibn Bāz, Imām al-Albānī, Imām Ibn ʿUthaymīn (رحمهم الله) and others.
The activities of these people back then provided the fertile ground for the likes of ISIS to emerge over a decade later, which allowed enemies and vultures to pursue their agendas in Muslim lands. Indeed, these groups are Trojan horses in the lands of the Muslims and they are used and directed for nefarious purposes.
Around that time, the Major scholars such as Shaykh al-Albānī, Shaykh Bin Bāz and Shaykh Ibn ʿUthaymīn (رحمه الله) had all realised that the two figureheads in Saudi Arabia, Salmān al-ʿAwdah and Safar al-Ḥawālī, had been correctly refuted and spoken about by the Mashāyikh of Madīnah, in particular, Shaykh Rabī bin Hādī. So around the year 2000 numerous statements had come from them in refutation of these figureheads in particular and the Quṭbiyyah in general. Shaykh al-Albānī had famously called them “Khārijiyyah ʿAṣriyyah”.
This had incensed the Quṭbīyyah Takfīriyyah, and whenever we translated and wrote refutations, especially speech that came from Major Scholars, such as Shaykh Ibn ʿUthaymīn towards the end, their undergarments set ablaze with fire, and they made vile attacks over the Internet.
In that period there was a brother in Saudi who used to make contact, and in an email in July 2000, he mentioned how he decided to ring up Salmān al-ʿAwdah and ask him some things about Shaykh al-Albānī (رحمه الله) to hear for himself. So he heard some bad things, and he also saw that we had been refuting these Quṭbiyyah for a while, and he saw that we referred to Salmān al-ʿAwdah as “Imām of the Quṭbiyyah” which angered the Quṭbiyyah Takfīriyyah, they were very upset.
So he decided to ring up Shaykh Rabīʿ on the phone and he had this conversation, which he also transcribed for us, and sent it in Arabic via email. In the PDF document there is a translation from the Arabic and the Arabic text is provided afterwards.
