Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Âbdillah Ibn HumaydAn-Najdiyy Al-Hanbaliyy said on page 275:

(415) Âbdul-Wahhab Ibn Sulayman Ibn Âliyy Ibn Musharraf at-Tamimiyy an-Najdiyy

He studiedFiqh with his father, the author of the famous book al-Mansak, and he also studied with others. He wrote som

good works in some areas of fiqh. He gained religious knowledge and also taught it. He wrote an explanation of som

religious issues and it was recognised as being well-written. He died in the year 1153 A.H.

He is the father ofMuhammad, who was founder of the mission (i.e., Wahhabis mission) whose evil has spread across th

horizon. However, there is an enormous difference between father and son. Indeed Muhammad did not reveal his missi

until after the death of his father.

Some of the people whom I met have related from some of the people of knowledge narrations from the contemporaries o

Shaykh Âbdul-Wahhab that describe his anger with his son Muhammad. This is because he had not agreed to study th

religious knowledge of his ancestors and the people of his area. His father had a presentiment that something would happ

because of him, and so he frequently said to the people, How much evil you are going to see from Muhammad

Subsequently, what Allah predestined to happen came to pass.

Similarly, his son Sulayman, the brother ofMuhammad, was also opposed to his mission. Sulayman refuted Muhamm

emphatically with verses of the Holy Quran and Ahadith. This is because the refuted one (i.e. Muhammad Ibn Âbd

Wahhab) would not accept other than these two sources. Nor would he consider the sayings of earlier or later scholar

whoever they were, other than Ibn Taymiyah and his student Ibn al-Qayyim (al-Jawziyyah). This is because Muhammad Ib

Âbdil-Wahhab considered their sayings to be explicit verses which do not accept interpretation and he used them in deba

with the people, despite the fact that the sayings of these two figures contradicted what he understood.

Shaykh Sulayman named his refutation against his brotherFasl-ul-Khitab fir-Radd âla Muhammad Ibn Âbdil-Wahhab (T

Empathic Speech on the Refutation ofMuhammad Ibn Âbdil-Wahhab). However, Allah protected Sulayman from the ev

and deception of his brother, whose great influence spread a threat far and wide. This is because if one contradicted an

refuted him, and he was unable to kill him openly, he would send someone to assassinate him in their bed or in the marke

place at night, since he judged whoever contradicted him to be a blasphemer and legalised their killing.

It has been said that an insane person lived in the town and among his habits was to strike whoever he came across, even wi

a weapon. Muhammadgave an order that this insane man was to be given a sword and admitted to the mosque where h

brotherShaykh Sulayman sat alone. When Shaykh Sulayman saw him, he was afraid. The insane man threw the sword from h

hand and said, O Sulayman, do not be afraid; you are of those who are saved. He repeated this many times and this

without doubt among theKaramat.
