It is proper for the one who seeks to be accepted to study with us (the following conditions).

1) To be a Salafi with good manners.

2) To be one that is recommended by one of the Ulama of the Sunnah or from a student of knowledge who is known to be. If that cannot be accomplished then after he arrives if I know from him from what is contained in the first condition then he would be accepted inshallah.

3) For me to know his name as soon as he comes so that I would give him permission to seek knowledge. And I may direct him to what I would see would benefit him.

4) The one below the age of puberty is not accepted except if he has someone who is responsible for his upbringing.

These are our conditions.

And with Allah is the guidance.

ينبغـــي لم يرغـــب في الدراســـة لدينــــا أن يكون:
1- سلفيّـــــًا مؤدبـــًا،
2- أن يكون مزكى إلينا من أحد علماء السنة أو من طالب علم معروف عندي فإن لم يتيسر له ذلك فبعد مجيئه إن عرفت منه ما ذكر في الشرط الأول يقبل إن شاء الله،
3- أن أعرف شخصه و اسمه فور مجيئه فآذن له بطلب العلم و قد أوجهه إلى ما أراه ينفعه في هذا الشأن،
4- الصغير دون البلوغ غير مقبول إلا إن كان معه هنا من يكون مسؤولا على رعايته و تربيته.
فهذه الشروط المعتبرة لدينا فقط

Subhanallah a place where Hadeeth is memorized day and night and which Shaikh Muqbil established as a place which teaches da'wah as Salafeeyah is a Mudhut Markaz? May Allah rectify you for that statement Akhii. Fear Allah ta'ala and don't speak about the Fitnah between the Ulama. Leave it and spend your time memorizing some Qur'an and Hadeeth. A true student has no time to insult Ahlus Sunnah. And from the evidences of one's deviance is when they insult the people of Hadeeth.

May Allah rectify the affairs of the Salafis and remove that Hiqd and Hasad. Wallahi many of us read the book of Allah and it doesn't past our throats. If we read it we don't understand it and if we understand it we don't implement it. Allahu Musta'aan.

Shaikh Salim At Taweel said: And what increased my yearing to meet my Salafi brothers in Yemen is how Shaikh Rabee' (May Allah preserve him) described them with his statement: "Salafeeyah in Yemen is the strongest Salafeeyah in the world and they have that which makes them different (from the rest) and they do not delve into elections and politics".

Notes: So whomsoever says that the Salafi Da'wah has changed since Shaikh Muqbil died let them ponder on the words of Shaikh Rabee' and keep quiet after they ponder.

This is the complete transcription of the advice of the Shaikh the Allamah Rabee' Ibn Haadi Al Madkhali- May Allah preserve him- to his children the scholars and the Salafi students of knowledge in Yemen- may Allah give Tawfeeq to all which is good- which was taped on Wednesday 17th Rabee Uth Thani 1429 Hijrah.

Bismillah Ar Rahmaan Ar Raheem,

All praise is due to Allah, and the peace and blessing upon the Messenger of Allah and to his family and those that follow the guidance. As to what proceeds.

O loved ones, from the students of knowledge, students of Shaikh Muqbil in Yemen and all places, thank Allah for what he has blessed you with, with the understanding of the way of the Salaf Us Salih from the book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger (Salallahu alaihi wa sallam). Praise Allah upon this, and upon your great call that has brought light to Yemen and has eliminated the darkness of Ignorance, Shirk, Superstitions and Rafd (Shi'ism). For very by Allah you all have been blessed greatly. The enemies are jealous of you with the greatest of jealousy and they lie in ambush at the peripheries, and they love the likes of these differences and this trial. For whomsoever respects this da'wah and is sincere to Allah in it he tries to preserve the Da'wah and this is by unity and throwing behind seperation for verily differences are evil " Do not disagree for you will get weak and your strength will disappear"- your da'wah is strong but with these differences it will become weak and will disappear.

And trials as it is said, Sufyan Ibn Uyainah said on the authority of Khalf Ibn Hawshab that they used to act upon these lines of poetry when there were trials:

War is the first thing that would be a trial

It comes forth with its beauty for every ignoramous

Until it is lit aflame and the fire blazes from it

And the elder woman who has no husband prattles

Grey Haired disliking her colour and being disliked

Disliked in terms of scent and kissing.

At first war is decorated by the Shaitaan and the devils of mankind and the ignorant enter into it. But when it is set alight and blazes it becomes clear to them the grave conseuqnces of that trial.

For the sensible one knows the Fitnah when he is being faced with it and the ignorant doesn't know the Fitnah except after it has disappeared. And I hope that all of you in Yemen are intelligent, and from the best of those who are intelligent, I hope that you are in that high category, that you do not rush toward Fitnah and keep it aflame and but Benzine upon it- as it is said-, fire requires water to out it. As for Benzine it make the fire continue by Allah. And speech by Allah is Benzine which sets ablaze this Fitnah.

Therefore I advise all of you to safeguard your tongues in arguing about this Fitnah, and to be brothers between yourselves. May Allah bless you, and whatever happened between them in seperation it is upon them to return to thr truth. Shaikh Yahya is from the most vituous of people and upon a goodness, and Shaikh Abdur Rahmaan is from the most virtuous of men and upon goodness. And Da'wah As Salafeeyah needs more and more of the likes of them. They are in need of centers, Da'wah and callers to other than this. Yemen has more than 20 million for they need hundreds or thousands of callers by Allah- May Allah bless you all.

Right now two are arguing, this is not proper! And the reason for this it is the entering of the people of Fitnah to add flame to the fire of this Fitnah. Know this may Allah bless you all. And Shaikh Muqbil called me once and said it has reached me that in my circles there are Hizbees! I then said I don't remember saying that but I tell you yes! I assure you of this, for verily the people of Fitnah make themselves as allies to every important person. For they put themselves as allies with Shaikh Al Albani, and with Shaikh Ibn Baaz allies and for the rulers allies and for every Alim they become allies to them in order to reach their goals whilst they ally with them. So we are not safe from schemers. My brothers if there are those even if they or two or three in every meeting, three from the people of Fitnah who are schemers. The people of Dammaj are noble and virtuous and they are from Ahlus Sunnah. And you brothers in the South are noble and from Ahlus Sunnah. But it is not safe to think that there be schemers within your midts from the enemies (of the da'wah) even if their number is little, this is not impossible, it is not impossible except for the one who doesn't know the history of Islam.

The hypocrites plotted in the time of the Messenger of Allah - Salallahu alaihi wa sallam- and their number was small. In the battle of Uhud Abdullah Ibn Ubai seperated with 300 soliders from 1000. Dammaj has five thousand or six thousand and they would be safe from any schemer? It could be one or two of them, by Allah who light and keep the flame of Fitnah burning, and in the South there are also people who are schemers , they may be two or three. We do not put a ruling on all our brothers may Allah bless all of you. And it could be that within them there are schemers from the Ikhwan Al Muslimeen from the group of Abi Hasan and other than them from the Hikmah organization (organization in Yemen) or other than them may Allah bless you all. Pay attention to these things. Within the army of Ali Ibn Abi Talib there were men who were schemers who set alight the flames of Fitnah between brothers, between Ali - Radiallaho anho- and those with him from the companions from one direction an d between Zubair May Allah bless you and Talhah from another direction, you understand? In those best of times, in the first stages of Da'wah As Salafeeyah, how would it be that now we feel safe from schemers from the enemies who may be within our ranks in order to seperate us may Allah bless you all!!

My brothers! Those who love this Da'wah and respects it and wants it to conquer all other da'wahs and wants it be succeed then he has to keep quiet and advise the one who speaks and to not continue this Fitnah.

Your brother Shaikh Yahya is from the best of Ulama, and you have things that may you all special by Allah that is not found in this Dunya. You all learn not for the certificate, and you do not teach in order to get money. Right now in the Emirites and in Saudi Arabia a teacher who is deficient can get 20,000- 30,000 dollars. As for those people they receive nothing, neither from the rulers nor from any other than them. They learn for Allah and teach for the face of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And this by Allah is something special that you have, and something special in your call. Respect this blessing and work hard for its strength to remain may Allah bless you all.

And we shall ask the scholars in Yemen to work hard in outing the fire of this Fitnah. And I turn my hopes to all sides. Shaikh Yahya and Shaikh Abdur Rahmaan and whoever is with them and what has happened between them in disagreement. I am directing to you my hopes with your hopes that you keep quiet in speaking about each other, and that you erase all you speech about each other from your websites. To erase all speech. And to hold your tongues and to burn all what has been spread and to return all matters to where they belong. And at least the first step for now is silencefrom all sides and staying away from all the speech that is present that engulfs the flames of Fitnah on the Websites. In the Website of Shihr and the Website of Shaikh Yahya and other than this from the Websites.

I hope that this hope and request comes about, may Allah bless all of you

And all praise is due to Allah there are intelligent scholars who are going toward extinguishing this Fitnah, and it is not proper for the younger ones to fight and quarrel, this one quarelling with this one and this... this is the way of the people of innovation my brothers! Those who don't have any intelligence and they don't have anything to diffrentiate, and they don't have basics (in learning) and they don't have fundamentals. You all have basics and have fundamentals that you go back to. Especially in facing these trials may Allah bless you all.

I advise all of you to fear Allah and be sincere to him and to work hard in extinguishing this Fitnah firstly by not delving into it, and secondly whoever has intelligence and has sense let him show me that he is sensisble by extinguishing this Fitnah by staying quiet may Allah bless all of you. And making these requests come about that we request from our brothers in Yemen. Firstly by keeping silent. No one should speak about his brother because they are not from Ahlul Bid'ah. By Allah if one of the two sides were innovators we would have raised our voices on him and made clear his bid'ah. But there are no people of innovation amongst them. There is no one calling toward Bid'ah and there is nothing between them. Between them are personal matters- and Allah knows best- that was carried on further as I said some schemers from here and there even if their number is small, may Allah bless all of you. All of them (Shaikh Yahya and Shaikh Abdur Rahmaan) are all Salafis, all are vituous, and all of them inshallah are those who strive in the cause of Allah. May Allah bless all of you.

And Shaitan becomes pleased with differences. he doesn't become pleased with something like differences, May Allah bless all of you " And say to my worshippers to say that which is best. Verily Shaitaan whispers between them. Verily Shaitaan is an avowed enemy to mankind".

Therefore I hope my brothers if there are any differences between yourselves shake each other's hand now, from now, and to make a covenant to Allah that you will now go forward in this Fitnah except that which will extinguish it and destroy it. This is what is compulsory upon you oh my brothers.

Do you think that there are innovations present that they are fighting about? This one is an innovator and that one, never.

Meaning that some people have written and said things that we think are incorrect may Allah bless all of you.

Therefore do not deviate and drag yourselves behind - may Allah bless all of you- he said and she said and what resembles this. This will be a loss to the great da'wah that Allah has specified you with. Praise Allah upon that favour and thank him and be vigiliant upon this favour. And your onus in this is to make effort in extinguishing this Fitnah. Firstly you are here in the Kingdom and no one has a disagreement with the next.

And as for your brothers in Yemen. We hope that the major scholars go forth to extinguish this Fitnah. We hope that both sides stay silent, and verily - may Allah bless all of you- prohibit this exchange of speech in the Websites from which pleases the enemies about your da'wah and our da'wah as well. All praise is due to Allah this is the da'wah of all people- may Allah bless all of you- and it makes them pleased by Allah and they are not pleased with anything more than this internal fighting (speech that was not understood). They are unable to seperate the ranks. They are not able to do so except with a schemer, with the scheming of some of the oppresive ones may Allah bless Allah of you. As for coming and seperating you all like that and attacking of Da'wah As Salafeeyah they are unable. But the attack from the inside it is the worst of things.

There I, Oh my brothers, repeat and repeat my hope for all to work on extinguishing this Fitnah by becoming brothers and uniting between yourselves in Yemen. And whomsoever does an evil to his brother let him seek forgiveness from his brother. And no shyness or other than this prevents him from asking forgiveness, for verily by Allah it is from great nobility and humility and from the evidences that verily the one who did wrong loves the truth and is a true Salafi.

I ask Allah that this Fitnah ends, and humble yourselves to Allah in Du'a to end this fitnah and hasten my brothers hasten to extinguish it with what I have mentioned to you. May Allah make your steps firm and may Allah bless all of you and bring love between the hearts of all. Verily our lord is the hearer of our supplication. And may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and those who follow him.

May Allah bless you All

One of those present said: Does anyone have any problems?

Shaikh Rabee' then said: No problems, no delving and no questions and no answers extinguish it no questions and no answers leave it. Now your goal and your work is to extinguish this fitnah. Speech increases it therefore do not speak- may Allah bless you- and do not be partisan to this party or to that party. all of them are your brothers. All of them are upon one 'Aqeedah and one Manhaj all praise is due to Allah. And they have a great influence and for Allah is all the praise in helping the truth and spreading it. May Allah grant his Tawfeeq to all.

I said to Shaikh Muqbil at one time, there was a threat from the countries of the Arabian Peninsula that we will go forth to seperate between Shaikh Rabee' and Shaikh Muqbil. This speech reached me so I called Shaikh Muqbil and said that it reached me that there are those who wish to seperate between ourselves and you. He then said to me: If the mountains pushed each other this would not harm us. And there will be nothing from it. I want from you all the likes of this.

Like that mountain who said speech like this. The one who put his ears to listen to speech by Allah enters into Fitnah may allah bless all of you. The one who sends to you speech from Yemen that he is this and that say to him O my brother we hope that you hold your tongue in Yemen and there May Allah bless all of you and may he grant all of you his Tawfeeq.

And if any of you want the truth and the proper way to take away this problem, this is in my opinion the most straight of ways in order to end these differences and extinguishing this Fitnah and the scholar inshallah are trying their best to extinguish it inshallah.

Subhanakallahumma wa Bihamdik. Ashadu An Laa Ilaha illa Anta.

الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على عبده ورسوله وخليله محمد بن عبد الله وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين أما بعد :

فهذه نصيحةهامة قيمة لشيخنا العلامة ربيع بن هادي المدخلي وفقه المولى ورفع قدره في الدارين وجهها لأبنائه السلفيين بخصوص المسألة الدائرة في اليمن ألقاها على مسامع عدد من السلفيين اليمنيين في منزله بمكة بعد مغرب هذا اليوم الأربعاء 17/4/1429هـ نسال الله أن ينفع بها السلفيين في كل مكان تصله هذه التوجيهات العالية وأن تجد الآذان الصاغية والعقول النيرة المستبصرة والحمد لله رب العالمين.

قال الشيخ ربيع حفظه الله:

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الحمد لله، والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى آله ومن اتبع هداه.

أما بعد:

أيها الأحبة، طلاب العلم، طلاب الشيخ مقبل في اليمن وفي كل مكان، اشكروا الله تبارك وتعالى على ما أنعم به عليكم، من معرفة مذهب السلف الصالح المستمد من كتاب الله ومن سنة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، احمدوا الله على هذا، وعلى دعوتكم العظيمة التي أضاءت اليمن، وبددت ظلمات الجهل والشرك والخرافات والرفض، فأنتم والله في نعمة عظيمة يحسدكم الأعداء أشد الحسد ويتربصون بكم الدوائر، ويحبون مثل هذا الخلاف ومثل هذه الفتنة، فمن كان يَحترم هذه الدعوة ومُخلصاً لله فيها، فليحاول أن يحافظ على هذه الدعوة، وذلك باجتماع الكلمة ونبذ الفرقة فإن الخلاف شرّ " ولا تَنازعوا فَتَفشَلُوا وتَذهبَ رِيْحُكُم " الريح القوة –دعوتكم قوية، لكن بهذا الخلاف ستضعف وتفشل .

والفتنة كما يقال، قال سفيان بن عيينة عن خلف بن حوشب أنهم كانوا عند الفتن يتمثلون هذه الأبيات:

الحـربُ أول ما تـكـــون فتيـــةً * * * تسعى بزينتــها لكـل جهولِ

حتى إذا اشتعلت وشب ضرامها * * * ولت عجوزاً غير ذات حليل

شمطــا ينكـــر لونــها وتنكرت * * * مكــروهة للشــــم والتقبيـل

الحرب أول ما تكون ما شاء الله يزخرفها الشيطان وشياطين الإنس للجهلاء فيقعون فيها، فإذا اشتعلت وشد ضرامها تبين لهم بعدئذ العواقب الوخيمة لهذه الفتنة.

فالعاقل يدرك الفتن عند إقبالها والجاهل لا يعرف الفتنة إلا بعد إدبارها، وأرجوا أن تكونوا هنا وفي اليمن جميعاً عقلاء، ومن أفضل العقلاء، أرجوا أن تكونوا بهذا المستوى العالي، ما تتسارعون إلى الفتنة وتشعلونها وتصبون عليها البنزين –كما يُقال-، النار تحتاج إلى ماء يطفئها، أما البنزين فيشعلها والله، والكلام والله بنزين ووقود هذه الفتنة.

فأنا أنصحكم، بحفظ ألسنتكم عن الخوض في هذه الفتنة، وأن تتآخوا فيما بينكم، بارك الله فيكم، ومن حصل بينهم شيء من التنافر فعليهم أن يؤوبوا إلى الحق، الشيخ يحيى – يعني يحيى الحجوري - من أفاضل الناس وعلى ثغر عظيم، والشيخ عبدالرحمن – يعني بن مرعي العدني - من أفاضل الناس وعلى ثغر عظيم، والدعوة السلفية تحتاج إلى أكثر وأكثر من هذا العدد، تحتاج إلى مراكز ودعوات ودعاة وإلى آخره، اليمن فيه أكثر من عشرين مليون فيحتاجون والله إلى مئات وإلى ألوف من الدعاة –بارك الله فيكم-.

الآن اثنان يتناحران ! لا ينبغي ! والسبب في هذا هو تدخل أهل الفتن لإشعال نار هذه الفتنة، ادركوا هذا بارك الله فيكم، وقد اتصل علي الشيخ مقبل مرةً قال بلغني أنك تقول في حلقاتنا حزبيون ! فقلت أنا ما أذكر أني قلت هذا، لكن أقول لك نعم ! أؤكد لك هذا، فإن أهل الفتن يجعلون بطانة لكل شخصية مهمة، فجعلوا للشيخ الألباني بطانة، وللشيخ بن باز بطانة والرجال الأمراء بطانة وكل عالم جعلوا له بطانة ليتوصلوا إلى أهدافهم من خلال هذه البطانات، فلا نأمن الدَّس، يا إخوة أن يكون هناك ولو اثنين، ثلاثة في كل جبهة، اثنين، ثلاثة من أهل الفتن مدسوسين، أهل دماج شرفاء فضلاء وهم أهل سنة، وإخوانكم في الجنوب شرفاء وأهل سنة، لكن لا نأمن أن يكون هناك من هو مدسوس من قِبَلِ الأعداء ولو كان عددهم قليلاً، ولا نستبعد، ولا يستبعد هذا إلا من لا يعرف تاريخ الإسلام، فاندس المنافقون في عهد الرسول -صلى الله عليه وسلم- العدد قليل ! في غزوة أُحُد انفصل عبد الله بن أُبَي بثلاثمائة من ألف ... دماج بما فيها خمسة آلاف ستة آلاف تسلم كلها ما فيه دس، فيهم مدسوسين، والله يؤججون ويشعلون نار الفتنة، وفي الجنوب أيضاً ناس مدسوسين، خليهم اثنين ثلاثة، ما نحكم على إخواننا كلهم بارك الله فيكم، قد يكون فيهم مدسوسين من الإخوان، من جماعة أبي الحسن، من غيرهم، من جماعة الحكمة، من غيرهم بارك الله فيكم، فتنبهوا لهذه الأشياء، في جيش علي بن أبي طالب كان فيه أناس مدسوسين، أشعلوا نار الفتنة بين إخوة، بين علي رضي الله عنه ومن معه مجموعة من الصحابة من جهة وبين الزبير بارك الله فيك وطلحة من جهة أخرى، عرفتم؟ في ذلك العهد الزاهر، في أول الدعوة السلفية، كيف الآن نأمن أن يدس الأعداء في صفوفنا من يفرقنا بارك الله فيكم. !!

يا إخوتاه ! الذي يحب هذه الدعوة ويحترمها، ويريد لها الظهور ويريد لها النجاح فعليه أن يلزم الصمت، وأن ينصح من يتكلم، ولا يجاري هذه الفتنة.

إخوانكم الشيخ يحيى من أفاضل العلماء، ولهم ميزات والله لا توجد الآن في الدنيا، يدرسون لا للشهادات، ويدرسون لا لأجل الأموال، يعني الآن في الإمارات في المملكة الأستاذ يمكن تعبان يتقاضى عشرين ألف ثلاثين ألف، وذُولْ –هؤلاء- لا يتقاضون أي شي لا من الحكومة ولا من غيرها، يدرسون لله ويعلمون لوجه الله سبحانه وتعالى، فهذه والله ميزة لكم، وميزة لدعوتكم، فاحترموا هذه النعمة واحرصوا على أن تبقى قوية بارك الله فيكم.

ونحن سنطلب من مشائخ اليمن أن يجتهدوا ويجدوا في إطفاء هذه الفتنة.

وأوجه رجائي للأطراف جميعاً، للشيخ يحيى وللشيخ عبدالرحمن ومن معهم ممن حصل بينهم خلاف، أوجه لهم رجائي مع رجائكم أن يسكتوا عن الكلام في بعضهم البعض، وأن يحذفوا مقالاتهم من المواقع الفضائية الأنترنيت، أن يحذفوا كل المقالات، وأن يكفوا ألسنتهم، وأن يحرقوا النشرات التي تبودلت، وأن تعود الأمور إلى مجاريها، وعلى الأقل الخطوة الأولى الأولى الآن السكوت، من الأطراف كلها، وإبعاد هذه المقالات الموجودة التي تؤجج نيران الفتن في المواقع، في موقع الشِحر وموقع الشيخ يحيى، وغيرها من المواقع.

أرجوا أن يتحقق هذا الأمل وهذا المطلب، بارك الله فيكم.

والحمد لله هناك علماء عقلاء ساعين في إطفاء هذه الفتنة، وما ينبغي للصغار أن يتصارعوا وأن يتناحروا، هذا ينحاز لهذا وهذا... هذه طريقة أهل البدع يا إخوة !! الذين ما عندهم عقول وما عندهم تمييز، ولا عندهم مبادئ ولا عندهم أصول، أنتم عندكم مبادئ وعندكم أصول تستندون إليها، خاصة في مواجهة هذه الفتن بارك الله فيكم.

أنا أوصيكم بتقوى الله عزّ وجلّ، والإخلاص لله عزّ وجلّ، والجد في إطفاء هذه الفتنة أولاً بعدم الخوض فيها، وثانياً من عنده عقل ورأي فليدلي برأيه بإطفاء هذه الفتنة بالسكوت بارك الله فيك، وتحقيق هذه المطالب التي نطلبها من إخواننا في اليمن. بأولاً السكوت، ما أحد يتكلم في أخيه لأنهم ليسوا أهل بدع، والله لو كان أحد الطرفين مبتدعاً لرفعنا صوتنا عليه وبينا بدعته، لكن ليس فيهم مبتدع، ليس فيهم داعية إلى بدعة، ليس فيهم شيء، فيهم أغراض شخصية والله أشعلها كما قلتُ هؤلاء المدسوسين من هنا ومن هناك ولو كان عددهم قليل، بارك الله فيكم، كلهم سلفيون، وكلهم أفاضل، وكلهم إن شاء الله مجاهدون، بارك الله فيكم.

والشيطان ما يفرح بشيء مثل الخلاف، ما يفرح بشيء مثل الخلاف، بارك الله فيكم، " وقل لعبادي يقولوا التي هي أحسن إن الشيطان ينزغ بينهم إن الشيطان كان للإنسان عدواً مبيناً " بارك الله فيكم.

فأرجوكم يا إخوة، إذا كان بينكم خلافات فتصافحوا الآن، من الآن، وأن تعاهدوا الله أنكم ما تسهمون في هذه الفتنة إلا بما يقضي عليها ويطفئها، هذا واجبكم يا إخوة.

هل تظنون أن هناك بدع موجودة يتصارعون عليها ؟! هذا مبتدع وهذا، أبداً.

يعني قد كتب بعض الناس أشياء رأينا أنها غلط بارك الله فيكم.

فلا ننجرف وننجر وراء –بارك الله فيك- قيل وقال وما شاكل ذلك فنخسر هذه الدعوة العظيمة التي ميزكم الله تبارك وتعالى بها، احمدوا الله على هذه النعمة واشكروه وحافظوا على هذه النعمة، ودوركم في هذا هو الجد في إطفاء هذه الفتنة، أولاً أنتم هنا في المملكة ما أحد يختلف مع أحد.

وإخوانكم في اليمن:

- نرجوا من المشايخ الكبار أن يسعوا في إطفاء هذه الفتنة.

- نرجوا من أطراف الخلاف أن يسكتوا، وأن –بارك الله فيك- ينهوا هذا الكلام المتبادل في المواقع الذي يشمت بكم الأعداء وبدعوتكم وبدعوتنا جميعاً، والحمد لله هذه دعوة الجميع، بارك الله فيكم، ويفرحهم –والله ما يفرحون بشيء مثل هذه الصراع الداخلي –كلمة غير مفهومة- هم لا يستطيعون أن يشقوا الصفوف، لا يستطيعون إلا بالدس فقط، بدس بعض المجرمين بارك الله فيكم، أما أن يأتوا و يفرقوا هكذا ويضربوا الدعوة السلفية لا يستطيعون، لكن لما يكون الضرب من الداخل هذا والله أخطر شيء.

فأنا يا إخوة، أعيد وأكرر رجائي للجميع بالجد في إطفاء هذه الفتنة، والتآخي والتلاحم فيما بينكم، هنا وفي اليمن، ومن سبق منه إلى أخيه إساءة، فليتحلل من أخيه، ولا يمنعه الحياء ولا غيره من أن يتحلل، فإنه والله لمن الشرف العظيم ومن التواضع ومن الأدلة والبرهنة على أن هذا الذي وقع في الخطأ أنه محب للحق، وأنه سلفي حقاً وحقيقةً.

أسأل الله أن ينهي هذه الفتنة، وتضرعوا إلى الله بالدعاء أن ينهي هذه الفتنة، وسااهموا يا إخوة واسهموا في إطفائها بما ذكرت لكم، سدد الله خطاكم وبارك فيكم، وألَّف بين قلوب الجميع، إن ربنا لسميع الدعاء، وصلى الله على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم.

الله يبارك فيكم ويحفظنا وإياكم..

قال أحد الحضور: هل يوجد من عنده إشكال؟

قال الشيخ ربيع : ولا إشكال ولا أسئلة ولا أجوبة.

الآن خلوا هدفكم وشغلكم وغايتكم هو إطفاء هذه الفتنة وبس، الكلام يؤجج فلا تتكلموا، بارك الله فيكم، ولا تتعصبوا لا لهذا الطرف ولا لهذا الطرف، كلهم إخوان، كلهم على عقيدة واحدة ومنهج واحد ولله الحمد، ولهم آثار كبيرة ولله الحمد في نصرة هذه الدعوة ونشرها، وفق الله الجميع.

أنا قلت للشيخ مقبل في مناسبة غير هذه، كان جاء تهديد من دول الخليج أننا سنسعى في التفرقة بين الشيخ ربيع والشيخ مقبل، بلغني هذا الكلام فاتصلت على الشيخ مقبل، فقلت بلغني أنه هناك من يريد أن يفرق بيننا وبينكم، قال لي : لو تناطحت الجبال لا يضرنا هذا، ولا يكون شيء من هذا. فأنا أريد لكم مثل هذا.

مثل هذا الجبل الذي يقول مثل هذا الكلام ... الذي يرخي أذنه للكلام والله يدخل في الفتنة يدخل في الفتنة بارك الله فيكم، الذي يرسل لكم بكلام من اليمن أنه كذا وكذا قول له يا أخي نرجوا أن تكف لسانك في اليمن وهنا بارك الله فيكم وفق الله الجميع.

إذا أردتم الصواب والطريق الصحيح لحل هذه المشكلة، هذا في رأيي هو الطريق السديد لإنهاء هذه الخلافات وإطفاء هذه الفتنة، والمشايخ إن شاء الله يبذلون جهودهم لإطفائها إن شاء الله.

سبحانك اللهم بحمدك، أشهد أن لا إله إلا أنت...

My dear brothers and sisters. May Allah have mercy on all of you the Prophet (Salallahu alaihi wa sallam) said whomsoever believes in Allah and the last day let them say good or keep silent. Those at the forum of Ahya.org I ask all of you writers who are Majhool to beg Allah ta'ala for forgiveness because of what you exposed to the west about the situation in Yemen. And part of seeking that forgiveness is translating the speech of Shaikh Rabee' Ibn Hadi Al Madkhali that he gave to Ahlul Yemen about the Fitnah. And showing that the people of Yemen have adhered to this advice of the Allamah.

This is it right here http://daralhadeeth-sh.com/forums/showthread.php?t=327

We know you want to try to speak ill of Shaikh Yahya because he spoke about Suhaib Hasan and because his students speak about Jam'eeyah Ahlil Hadeeth. We know that your headlines are only to add gasoline to the fires of fitnah and to pass it in the west so that others would lose respect for the Shaikh. But if you are just and truthful then translate what Shaikh Rabee' himself has said and then take his advice to keep quiet because great Britain or even the English speaking world has nothing to do with this fitnah.

He said himself and you will read it. That the people who make fitnah are probobly troublemakers from the Ikhwan Al Muslimeen or troublemakers from the likes of Abu Hasan Al Ma'ribi or from other than them from the Jam'eeyah of Hikmah.  Those who seek to make seperation between the Salafis.

Allahu Musta'aan.

When Salaat Ul Fajr is finished they remember Allah and read the Qur'an until sunrise then whoever wishes to pray the two Raka'ah of Salaat Ul Ishraaq does so. After this they turn to their specific lessons in all sciences and the most well known of their lessons is the lesson of our Shaikh the knowledgeable Yahya son of Ali Al Haajuri who remains with his students in rememberences and revision of the Qur'an which his guard reads to him or one of his students. Then he prays the two Raka'ah of Salaat Ul Ishraaq and then goes to sit with guests in order to teach whomsoever is present from his students. And this class is not compulsory, any student that wishes to do so sits in that class. Books are read quite quickly, whenever the Shaikh finishes with a book he opens another book. Until now he has read through Zaad Ul Ma'aad, the explanation of 'ilal at Tirmidhi by Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy upon him), Haadi Al Arwaah by Ibnul Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him), Al Adhkaar by Imam An Nawawi (may Allah have mercy upon him), and he is now teaching the book Subulus Salaam by Imam As San'aani (may Allah have mercy upon him). And these lessons are very beneficial by the will of Allah because it makes clear that which is not understandable, specifies the general, clarifies that which is not clarified and he refutes errors. And during this lesson and after it there are various other lessons in inheritance, creed, language, jurisprudence, the science of Hadeeth for about an hour until Thuhr, Every student enters into classes that are appropiate for them. And those who are busy with memorizing remains with what he is memorizing and also those who are reviewing. As for those who research then the library is open for them from 6 o'clock in the morning until before the Adhaan by 20 minutes. The guard then informs the students about the time to leave in preparation for the Thuhr Salaat then the students come together in the Masjid for the Adhaan and after it then they pray four raka'aats before Thuhr because of the Hadeeth of Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her) in the Saheeh and in some cases they differ therefore praying two raka'ah because of the Hadeeth of Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with him and his father) in the Saheehain and then they pray Thuhr in Ja'amah. Afterwards they make their rememberences for Salaat and then they pray that which comes after then the Shaikh Al Allamah Abi Abdir Rahmaan Yahya Al Hajuuri proceeds with his daily lesson that does not cut off except for Juma'ah otherwise it is countinuous even on the days of the 'Eed celebrations and these classes occur in the following order: On Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays there is Tafseer of Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy upon him). And in other days the Jaami' As Saheeh by Imam Al Wadi'ee (May Allah have mercy upon him.

And usually the Shaikh before the lesson answers some of the questions and inquiries of his brothers from the students of knowledge or giving attention to what needs to be given attention to...

Then they go and eat their lunches and whoever wishes he goes to the library before Asr and then they get ready for Asr and do the same as they do for Thuhr and then the Shaikh gives a daily lesson in Saheeh Al Bukhari which does not stop unless there is a furneral and the rest of the classes are like this and at this time the Shaikh answers questions and then the students read the Hadeeth and then the Shaikh reads the Hadeeth following it and then put notes upon it after this and then the students proceed to their work. Those who are researchers go to the library, teachers go to their lessons and the Shaikh sits down with visitors and those who have problems advising them, clarifying matters to them and calling to Allah then he returns to his house and reviews his research or puts forward the research of his brothers and other than this from his work. After this the students make their afternoon thikr and they get ready for Maghrib and then pray it and then they do their rememberances after the prayer and their superagatory prayers...

And after Maghrib ... the Shaikh usually gives lessons and answers questions and then teachers Saheeh Muslim then Sunan As Sughra by Imam Al Baihaqi, then the book Iqtida Siraat Ul Mustaqeem, and before that he puts makes note of some issues in Umdah Fil Fiqh Al Hanbali. And this class goes on until the Isha Salaat for about one and a half hours or one hour and forty five minutes. Afterwards, we pray Isha and then the single  students go to eat their dinner, the married students to their houses, the researchers to their libraries, and whomsover has classes they go to their classes and those who review go back to what they were reviewing. Then the electricity gets turned off by 10:00 p.m ...

Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Salih Al Uthaimeen said: Shaikh Muqbil is Imam Imam Imam (meaning leader).

Shaikh Ahmad An Najmi said: Shaikh Muqbil Ibn Hadi is an Alim from the Salafis and he has established the Methodology of the Salaf Us Salih in his books and he has called toward it and taught his students the Methodology of the Salaf.

Late Edition - Final, Section 1, Page 36, Column 1, 2485 words

DISPLAYING ABSTRACT - Sheik Muqbel bin Hadi al-Wadie oversees Islamic study center in Dammaj, Yemen, that he says in strictly theological but that FBI says is incubator for holy war that Osama bin Laden has declared against United States; 70-year-old sheik is font of vituperation against US and Israel, Christians and Jews; his puritanical brand of Islam, called Salafism, requires that Muslims shun corrupt ways of modern world and return to austerity and zeal of Prophet Muhammad

Notes: These people from the western media and the FBI have no scruples about lieing about the Shaikh (May Allah have mercy upon him).  The Shaikh himself had many articles and recordings refuting the ideologies of Usamah Ibn Ladin (Bin Hidin). I am amazed by the fact that I am an avid listener of the Shaikh's tapes and an avid reader of his books and yet I have not found one thing that calls to the ideology of Usama Bin Hidin.

Usama Bin Hidin is a Takfeeri deviant who calls toward the Manhaj of the Khawarij. They kill people unjustly whether they may be Muslims or not and we as Muslims especially the Salafis distance ourselves from that Shaitaan of mankind.  Get your facts clear before you accuse an innocent man!!

فهو لا يفخر على أحد ولا يغتر بنفسه ولا يتكبر على أحد ومن خالطه عرف ذلك منه .

He was never one to look down at others or be amazed of himself or have pride over others and whoever mixed with him knew this

وهو يقول : أنا مقصر ، ويقول : لست راضيا عن نفسي

He said of himself: I am deficient, and he said: I am not pleased with myself.
وأخبرنا رحمه الله أنه عند بدأ الشيب يظهر في لحيته تالم وقال لنفسه : ماذا قد قدمت للإسلام والمسلمين .

And when gray started to appear on his beard he started to become said and said to himself: What have you done for Islam and the Muslims?

ويقول في الدعوة حين ظهرت وعلت وانتشرت : هذا شيء أراده الله فليس بقوتنا ولا بفصاحتنا ولا بكثرة علمنا ولا بكثرة مالنا .

And he said about the (Salafi) Da'wah when it became apparant, powerful and spread: This is something that Allah wanted and it was not by our strength or our eloquence or our knowledge or our money (in reality they were poor).

ويقول : في حالة المختلطين من الرواة والمحدثين عبرة ، بالأمس في زمرة العلماء ، واليوم في زمرة المجانين ، فيجب ألا يفتخر بالذكاء ولا بالحفظ .

He also said: About the condition of those who mixed with the narrators of Hadeeth is a meesage: Yesterday they were amongst scholars, now they are among crazy people, therefore it is upon everyone to not be amazed of himself because of his intelligence of ability to memorize

ويقول : الكبر من أعظم الصوارف عن الخير قال تعالى : (( سأصرف عن ءاياتي الذين يتكبرون في الأرض بغير الحق )) ، والمتكبر مبغوض لدى الناس ولو كال لهم الذهب بالزنبيل كيلا .

He also said: Pride is one of the biggest things that turns one away from good. Allah said: "I will turn those who have pride upon the earth from my verses". And one who has pride is hated by the people even if he has gold that weights a lot.

وقال غير مرة لطلابه : أنا أعتبركم الآن زملائي

And he said a few times to his students: I see you now as my friends.

ولهذا كله فهو من سمته وخلقه ، أنه يقبل الحق حيث كان وممن كان ، ذكرا أو أنثى ، صغيرا أو كبيرا .
ويفرح بذلك ويدعو لمن نبهه على ذلك ، وينبه على ذلك في الملأ

And for all these reasons from his character and manners, was that he would accept the truth from anyone whoever it may have been, male or female, whether young or old. And he used to become happy for that reason and make du'a for the one who made him pay attention (to his error). And he made his errors clear in front of crowds.

Note:  As a result we see the fruits of his da'wah in Yemen where it is powerful. His students include Shaikh Yahya Al Haajuri who has memorized the six books of Hadeeth. Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab Al Wassabi, Shaikh Muhammad Al Imam, Shaikh Yahya Ibn Abdul 'Azeez Al Bura'ee. And amongst them who were on our island i.e Shaikh Zayed Al Wassabi who has memorized books such as Buluugh Ul Maraam and Shaikh Abu Amr Al Haajuri who has memorized Saheeh Bukhari and Muslim. May Allah ta'ala keep Dammaj as one of the lighthouses of the Sunnah.

Ameen.

Shaikh Muqbil (may Allah have mercy upon him) was asked in this place of sitting which I had: How did the Da'wah As Salafeeyah spread in Yemen? What is the reason?

قال : السبب التميز ، لأنا تميزنا عن أهل البدع فنشر الله السنة.

He said: The reason is by distinguishing (ourselves), we distinguished ourselves from the people of Bid'ah and therefore Allah spread the Sunnah.

و ذكر مثلاً: أن واحدا من أهل البدع جـاء إلى مسجد يتكلم فيه ؛ فخرج كل من فيه ـ يعني هُجرانا له و إهانة له ـ .

And he gave an example: that a person from the people of innovation came in a Masjid in order to speak there, then everyone in that Masjid left it- meaning they made Hajr (seperation) from him and humiliated him.

يعني تشبعوا بالسنة ، و عرفوا قدرها و عرفوا شـناعة البدع و ما تنطوي عليه من الشرور.

Meaning they were satisfied with the Sunnah, and they knew the great station of it and knew the evil of innovation and the evil which comes from it.

فـكان ـ يا إخوة ـ تميز أهل السنة عن الأحزاب و أهل البدع كان سببا عظيما لانتـشار السنة ، و الامتزاج و الاختلاط يكون بالعكس سببا لتغلب البدع و أهلها على السنة و أهلها؛ فتنتشر البدع.

It was- my brothers- distinguishing Ahlus Sunnah from the partisans and Ahlul Bid'ah that was a great reason for the spread of the Sunnah. And blending and mixing with them will have the opposite effect and it is a reason for the conquering of Ahlul Bid'ah and its people over the Sunnah and its people, therefore innovations spread.

أسأل الله أن يثبتنا و إيـاكم على السنة و يجعلنا عاملين بها و الموالين فيها المعادون من أجلها. نعم ".

I ask Allah to keep ourselves and you firm upon the Sunnah and to make us ack upon it and to love and hate for the sake of it, Yes.

Now by the grace of Allaah azza wa jalla, the blessed Da’watus-Salafiyyah can be found in all parts in Yemen, stronger in some areas than others. Thus he was the mujaddid (reviver) of these lands, the scholar whom none other has had as many people journeying to him neither in this time of ours nor in Yemen since Imaam As-San’aanee rahimahullaahu ta’aalaa (d.211 hijree).

The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said,

"Indeed, Allaah the Exalted sends, after every one hundred years, someone who yujaddid (renovates) for them their religion."

[Reported by Aboo Daawood; (see As-Saheehah, no.599 by Imaam Al-Albaanee) ]

Shaykh Muhammad bin Saaleh al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaahu ta’aalaa) said,

“Tell him that I regard him as a reviver of Islaam.”

Shaykh Yahyaa bin ‘Alee al-Hajooree hafidhahullaah said that Shaykh Rabee’ bin Haadee al-Madkhalee hafidahullaahu ta’aalaa said about him, “Tell him he is the Mujaddid in the lands of Yemen” and that he also said: “There can’t be found from the time of ‘Abdur-Razzaaq as-San’aanee to this present day someone who established the Da’wah and revived it as the likes Al-Waadi’ee.”

[Taken from Nubdhah Mukhtasirah min Nasaaih Waalidee al-‘Allaamah Muqbil bin Haadee al-Waadi’ee wa Seeratuhu al-‘Atirah page.9 by Umm ‘Abdillaah the daughter of Shaykh Muqbil]

Who are the Major Scholars in the Lands of Yemen?

Feb 24, '07 8:53 PM for everyone

The successor to Imaam al Waadi’ee (Shaykh Muqbil), al-‘Allaamah an-Naasih al-Ameen Abu ‘Abdur Rahmaan Yahyaa Ibn ‘Alee al-Hajooree, may Allaah preserve him, in his book: “at-Tabaqaat lima hasala ba’da mawt shaykhanaa al-Imaam al-Waadi’ee, rahimahu Allaah, fee ad-da’watis-salafiyyah bilyamani minal-haalaat” (pages 22-23):

"The Major Mashaay’ikh of the Da’watus-Salafeeyah in Yemen, they are the ‘Ulemaa' (Muslim scholars) of the land whom legal rulings are sought after. We mention them arranged by their names in alphabetical order:

1. The Noble Shaykh Aboo Muneer ‘Abdillah bin ‘Uthmaan al-Qeesee adh-Dhamaaree (hafidhahullaah): A very profound and inspirational preacher, it is as if Allaah created him solely for this purpose, such that Allaah has caused many of the Muslims to benefit from his sermons and to awaken those who are neglectful because his sermons rely on the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (may the peace & blessings of Allaah be upon him),he gives lessons and does beneficial missionary work in his area.

2. The Noble Shaykh Aboo ‘Abdillaah ‘Abdur-Rahmaan bin ‘Umar bin Mur’ee bin Burayk al-‘Adanee (hafidhahullaah): He possesses unique intellect one whom Allaah has given knowledge that is abundant and causing good. Along with giving him humbleness and bountiful manners, and firmness upon the Sunnah, he gives beneficial lessons on Fiqh and has explained ad-Daraaree of ash-Shawkaanee with some portions having been published.

3. The Noble Shaykh Aboo Dharr ‘Abdul-‘Azeez bin Yahyaa al-Bura’ee (hafidhahullah): A Caller to Allaah, sharp, courageous, an eloquent orator, a beneficial teacher and author, he has a blessed center of learning in Mafraq Jaish (the city of Ibb, about 3 hours south of Sana’a) and printed works such as Bidayaa-tul-Inhiraaf (The Beginning of Deviance) and others, he is from the Poets of the Salafee da’wah.

4. The Noble Shaykh Aboo ‘Abdil-Hameed Muhammad bin Saaleh as-Sumaalee (hafidhahullaah): Imam and Orator (of the Friday Sermons) of Masjid-ul-Khair in Beer ‘Abeed (in Sana’a), a caller to Allah, having insight and a beneficial teacher, the likes of him are few concerning generosity and love for the da’wah and undertaking its load in Sana’a, his center of learning is considered the original stronghold of Ahlus-Sunnah in Sana’a and Allah has caused great benefit to be spread by him.

5. The Noble Shaykh the possessor of extraordinary endeavor, Aboo Nasr Muhammad bin ‘Abdillah ar-Raymee nicknamed as al-Imaam (hafidhahullaah): One of the pioneers of the Sunnah, excellent in writing, profound in preaching, an outstanding admonisher, when he recites the Qur’aan you will barely be filled with his recitation (meaning you will want him to recite more because of the beauty of his recitation), he has a blessed center for knowledge-based studies in Ma’bar (which is a village south of Sana’a with probably the largest Salafee Masjid in Yemen), large number of preachers and memorizers of the Qur’aan have graduated from his hand and he has a number of printed works such as Tanweer-uth-Thulumaati fee Mafaasid-il-Intikhaabaat (Illuminating the Darkness concerning the Evils of Voting), al-Muaamarat-ul-Kubraa ‘alaa al-Maraatil-Muslimah (The Largest Conspiracies against the Muslim Woman) and al-Bayaanu lima ‘alayhi Jaami’at-ul-Imaan (The Explanation of what the University of Imaan is upon).[1]

6. The Honorable Shaykh, the trustworthy, the ascetic, the perseverant, the esteemed scholar, Aboo Ibraaheem Muhammad bin ‘Abdul-Wahhaab al-Wasaabee al-‘Abdalee[2] (hafidhahullaah): From the chiefs of the protectors of the lions den of the Sunnah never needing a physical weapon, Allah bestowed upon him tranquility and love for the Sunnah and its people, his religious exhortations are more valuable than pearls, he has a number of printed publications of the most precious and beneficial is al-Qawlul-Mufeed fee Adilatit-Tawheed (The Beneficial Word concerning the Evidences of Monotheism) then the treatises at-Tardu wal-Ib’aad ‘an Hawdhi Yawmil-Mi’aad (The Expulsion and Distancing from the Pool of the Prophet- may the peace & blessings of Allah be upon him-on the Day of Meeting), Hukum Ridhaa’il-Kabeer, al-Qawlus-Sawaabi fee Hukmil-Mihraab (The Correct Statement regarding the Ruling of the Prayer Niche), al-Jawharu fee ‘Adadi Darajaatil-Minbaar (The Essential concerning the number of Steps that the Sermon Ladder should have), and the treatise Tuhfatul-Areeb fee Ittikhaadil-‘Asaa lil-Khateeb ( The Profound Masterpiece regarding the Orator using a staff while conducting the Friday Sermon), he has a blessed center for knowledge-based studies in the city of al-Hudaydah, (which is about 4 hours south west of Sana’a)where he gives beneficial lessons of knowledge.

7. The Noble Shaykh[3] Aboo ‘Abdir-Rahmaan Yahyaa bin ‘Alee al-Hajooree (hafidhahullaah): He teaches his brothers in Daarul-Hadeeth in Dammaaj as a representative of Shaykh (Muqbil) during his life and after his death (rahimahullaah).

[1] This school in Sana’a is run by Abdul-Majeed az-Zindaanee -may Allah guide him and all of us, the 'Ulemaa’ have warned against studying there.

[2] He is from amongst the senior (eldest) students of Imaam Muqbil bin Haadee Al-Waadi’ee (rahimahullaah), to the extent that Shaykh Muqbil referred to Shaykh Muhammad as “my khaleefah.” His specialty is in Fiqh (Islaamic jurisprudence).

[3] In the original text Shaykh Yahyaa didn’t even write Noble Shaykh before his name and instead only wrote: Yahyaa bin Alee al-Hajooree Aboo ‘Abdir-Rahmaan and the shortest description of himself compared to the other Mashaay'ikh he wrote about which is evident of his great piety and humbleness. This title was added out of respect for him (hafidhahullaah).

Also in Dammaaj is Shaykh Jameel As-Salwee and he is considered one of the most senior shuyookh of Dammaaj, he has been there for over 18 years. He is originally from Ethiopia, and he goes there for Da’wah. And shaykhs Zaayed Hasan bin Saaleh al-‘Amree al-Wasaabee Abu ‘Abdillaah, and ‘Abdul-Kareem bin Ahmad bin Hussayn al-‘Amree Abu ‘Amr al-Hajooree.

Al-‘Allaamah Abu ‘Abdir Rahmaan Yahyaa Ibn ‘Alee al-Hajooree, may Allaah preserve him, said in “at-Tabaqaat”;

“Zaayid Hasan bin Saaleh al-‘Amree al-Wasaabee Abu ‘Abdillaah; Memorizer of the Qur’aan, Buloogh al-Maraam, Khateeb and teacher. A very beneficial person in various sciences and he has a small booklet on fasting, and one about inheritance.

“Abdul-Kareem bin Ahmad bin Hussayn al-‘Amree Abu ‘Amr al-Hajooree; a firm Sunnee Salafee, teacher and Khateeb, memorized al-Qur’aan, Saheeh al-Bukhaaree and Saheeh Muslim. He has authored a number of books.”

Al-Imaam, al-‘Allaamah Muqbil Ibn Haadee al-Waadi’ee, may Allaah have mercy on him, said in his book, “Tarjamah Abee ‘Abdur Rahmaan Muqbil Ibn Haadee al-Waadi’ee”: (pages 39  and 47)

“Zaayed bin Hasan bin Saaleh al-‘Amree al-Wasaabee; Memorizer of the Qur’aan.”

“ ‘Abdul Kareem bin Ahmad bin Hussayn al-Hajooree al-‘Amree; Memorizer of Qur’aan and Lulu wal Marjaan.”

Shaykhs Zaayed al-Wasaabee and Abu ‘Amr al-Hajooree, may Allaah preserve them, are from the students of Shaykh Muqbil al-Waadi’ee, may Allaah have mercy on him, and from the students of Shaykh Yahyaa al-Hajooree. Shaykh Zaayed is also from the students of Shaykh Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhaab al-Wasaabee, may Allaah preserve him. Shaykh Zaayed has been and continues to be a student of knowledge for the last fifteen years along with Shaykh Abu ‘Amr al-Hajooree has been a student of knowledge for the past eleven years. They are both from the shaykhs of Daarul Hadeeth, Dammaaj, and also amongst the people who give khutbahs, go out for da’wah, its teachers, and people of research. Shaykh Yahyaa had also sent them for the first time for da’wah to India in the past year (2005). And they are also sent for other da’wah affairs within Yemen. They continue to be students of knowledge in Daarul Hadeeth, Dammaaj to this present time.

I said to myself Subhan Allah. A lot of people want to go to Yemen in order to seek knowledge. But few prepare for such a journey. I am not speaking about financial preparation because anyone can save up enough money to go to Yemen. Rather, I am speaking about mental preparation. On this note, how many brothers and sisters do we find memorizing Qur'an, Hadeeth or texts or even making the effort to do so?  

Honestly, after hearing that I even fear for myself. Then again one of the Companions of the Messenger said: "Say to the student of knowledge to put on shoes of steel...".  Over there one has to memorize books. A student who was there told me that a weak student memorizes at least 25 Hadeeth per week!!

You don't write an exam and get a certificate like other institutions. The scholars there actually test you on what you have memorized from Ahadeeth and other texts and assess you upon that.  If you look in the book of Tabaqaat by Shaikh Yahya Al Haajuri you would see: So and so memorized the Qur'an, Saheeh Al Bukhari, Saheeh Al Muslim etc. 

Then at the end of the day you get no certificate at all but what you would have  are the Ahadeeth and action upon it inshallah ta'ala.   And I guess this is why at the end of the day I don't really care to return to an institute per say because I desire not any certificate. I have seen how a piece of paper has fooled many into thinking that those who hold them are people of knowledge when it is opposite. And Allah's help is sought. 

Therefore, is anyone ready to go to Yemen?

Why is this? It is because many of the Islamic Institutes have made the students focus upon reading and understanding rather then memorizing and understanding. Therefore you would find that  many of our brothers and sisters would have knowledge but unfortunately it is not comprehensive in any subject. When you ask them for quotes or evidences they cannot bring out even one and when they answer questions they have no idea of the issue being asked about in the first place. This is because they have abandoned the way of our Salaf in seeking this religious knowledge.

Commiting Qur'an, Hadeeth and Texts to memory is essential.  Qur'an because it is the book of Allah. Hadeeth because it is the statements, actions and permissions of the Messenger (Salallahu alaihi wa sallam) and texts (mutuun) which show us how the scholars derive their rulings and speech.

They best of these statements I have found is this one:

Whatever one can take into the Hamaam (washroom) it is knowledge.

This is because one who memorizes has proofs with him at all times and can speak about issues pertaining to Islamic knowledge at the drop of a dime. As for the one who hasn't done so you would find that he is unable to bring about proofs and speak about Islamic knowledge in a proper manner. This is why I am amazed that many people are given titles such as Alim, Alimah, Mufti and Shaikh and they haven't even memorized 2 or 3 Juz of Qur'an, 40 Nawawi or even a simple text on Tawheed or Fiqh. And Allah's help is sought. And I am even more amazed at the likes of those who take people with university degrees (from the University of the West Indies) as people of knowledge when these people cannot even recite Surat Al Faatihah or have basics in knowledge which every Muslim should know. Once I was speaking to a former Vice President of the UWI Islamic Society and he was upon the path of rejecting some of the Ahadeeth. So I asked him Ya Akhii what is a Hadeeth (its definition)? Sad thing he didn't even know. Therefore, I say that these people who have Doctorates in sociology and engineering and have not studied memorized an Ayah of the Qur'an properly have delusions of grandeur when they seek to put themselves forward in order to teach Islam. Unfortunately, they put themselves forward as ignorant leaders who are astray and lead others astray.

In any case let us look at the memory of our past scholars:

Bismillah:

These are some statements from the people of hadeeth. The people who Allah raised up to protect and preserve this religion:

(1)Muhammad ibn Ismaa'eel al-Bukhaaree(i.e Imaam Al Bukhaari) said:

((I have written (hadeeth) from more than 1,000 Shaykhs, and from each one I have (taken) 10,000 hadeeth; There is nothing I have except that I recall its isnaad))

Siyar A'laam an-Nubalaa. - Volume 12, Page 407

(2)Abu Zur’ah ar-Raazee (died 264 A.H.) said:

((I have in my house (something) I wrote 50 years (ago) and have not read it since I (first) wrote it. Certainly, I know which book it is in, (and) which page it is on (and) which line it is on))

al-Hifth – Ahammiyyatuhu, ‘Ajaa.ibuhu, Tareeqatuhu, Asbaabuhu – Page 32
Taareekh Baghdaad - Volume 10, Page 332

(3)ash-Sha'bee said:

((For 20 years, I have not heard a man narrate hadeeth except that I know more about it than him; (however) I had forgotten some knowledge (the extent of which) if a man was to memorise that (which I had forgotten) he would be an 'aalim.))

Siyar A'laam an-Nubalaa. - Volume 4, Page 301

(4)Wakee' said:

((None of our companions were better at memorising hadeeth than him (Yahyaa ibn Yamaan); He would memorise 500 hadeeth in a single sitting.))

Tahtheeb al-Kamaal – Volume 32, Page 58
al-Kaashif – Volume 3, Page 273

(5)Aasim ibn an-Najwad (died 128 A.H.) said:

((I was ill for 2 years, and when I got better, I read the Qur.aan (from memory) and I did not make a single mistake.))

Siyar A’laam an-Nubalaa. – Volume 5, Page 258
(6)Qataadah ibn Di’aamah as-Suddoosee (died 118 A.H.) said:

((I have never said to a muhaddith: “repeat it to me” and nor have my ears ever heard anything except that it has settled upon my heart (i.e. I have memorised it).))

Siyar A’laam an-Nubalaa. – Volume 5, Page 276
(7)Ahmad ibn Hanbal narrated:

((From amongst the people of al-Basrah, Qataadah was the best at memorising; whatever he heard, he would memorise. The book “Saheefatu-Jaabir” was read to him (only) once and he memorised it (all)))

al-Hifth – Ahammiyyatuhu, ‘Ajaa.ibuhu, Tareeqatuhu, Asbaabuhu – Page 15
Siyar A’laam an-Nubalaa. – Volume 5, Page 276

(8)Muhammad ibn Muslim az-Zuhree (died 125A.H.) narrated:

((I have never revised a hadeeth, and nor have I ever had any doubt in (the memorisation of) a hadeeth, except one hadeeth; and when I questioned my colleague about it, (I found) it was (exactly) as I had memorised (it)))

(9)Muhammad ibn Muslim az-Zuhree (died 125A.H.) narrated:

((There is nothing I have (ever) memorised and then (later) forgotten))

Hilyatul-Awliyaa. – Volume 3, Page 364
al-Jaami’ lil-Khateeb – Volume 2, Page 264

(10)Mu'ammar said:

((I used to attend the lessons of Qataadah when I was 14 years old, and there is nothing which I heard in those years except that it is as if it has been written (etched) in (on) my heart))

Siyar A'laam an-Nubalaa. - Volume 7, Page 6

Abu Moosaa ibn al-Haafiz said upon his death:

((Do not waste this knowledge (over) which we have tired (laboured)))

Siyar A’laam an-Nubalaa. – Volume 21, Page 450

Let us as students of knowledge follow these examples. And from our modern examples are the likes of Shaikh Yahya Al Haajuri of Dammaj, Yemen. It has been said that he has memorized the 6 books of Hadeeth and moreover it is said that every word that his teacher; Shaikh Muqbil Ibn Haadi has said he has memorized.  Alhamdu lillah this is only found among the Salafi Ulama.

Someone may ask: What is the process of memorizing?

I tell them memorizing is quite easy Alhamdu lillah. Allah has said: "And we have made the Qur'an easy to remember so is there anyone who will remember?"

This is the way I memorize and Alhamdu lillah it has worked for me (In Qur'an)

1) I take one verse at a time and memorize it. So once I can say a verse by memory I go onto the next verse.

2) I then go to the second verse and tie it to the first verse. Then the third verse and tie it to the first and second and so on until I have memorized what I wish to memorize.

3) When I am done I repeat it over and over by heart at least 10 times.

4) Memorizing little. I do not go over 2 pages in one day because that is difficult to revise. But I do at least one (on weekdays and Sunday leaving off Saturday for review alone)

5) Revision: I make sure and read it for many days after I memorize it by heart.

Alhamdu lillah by Allah's permission I memorize a page within 20 or 30 minutes using this method.

As for Hadeeth:

1) I read the Hadeeth from the start. Memorize the name of the Sahabi who narrated the Hadeeth first and foremost.

2) Then I take sentences from the Hadeeth and see if I have memorized them. Then I connect the sentences together to see if I have done the whole Hadeeth.

3) Then when I am finished with three I read all three ten times by heart if they are short. If they are long I read them 10 times each.

4) I do not pass 5 Hadeeth in one day. And memorize at least 3

5) Revising it every day by reciting it by memory.

By Allah's mercy it doesn't take much time to memorize it.

The main things in memorizing are nine:

1) Sincerity

2) A lot of Du'a

3) Staying away from sins. Especially looking at women (yes unless it is your wife your mind strays and you tend to forget what you are saying) and listening to music.

4) Memorizing one thing at a time. If one is memorizing a chapter of the Qur'an he memorizes it until he finishes it. If it is a chapter in Hadeeth he does so until he is finished etc. He doesn't finish half of a Chapter and then leaves it or finished half a chapter in Hadeeth then leaves it.  

5) Setting a daily goal.  Even if it is 3 lines of Qur'an per day or one Hadeeth.

6) Being consistent on that daily goal.  And not leaving it for anything.

7) Revision, revision and more revision.

8) Understanding and Acting upon what you have memorized. 

9) Da'wah toward it. Knowledge is remembered when one teaches it.

Therefore in the Kuffar institutions they read and understand. As for us Muslims we memorize and understand. May Allah make it easy for us and bring from amongst us Imams in knowledge and piety.

A speaker says and now I shall name for you some of the modern day eminent personalities of salafiyyah;

They are the noble outstanding sheikhs 'Abdul-'Aziz Ibnul Baaz, Muhammad Nasirudeen Al-Albanee, Muhammad Salih Al-'Uthaymeen, Muqbil Ibnul Hadee', 'Abdur-Razzaq 'Afeefi, Muhammad Aman Al- Jamee, Hamad Al-Ansaree, Saalih Al-Fawzaan, Rabee' Ibnul Hadee Al-Madkhali, Ahmad An-Najmi, 'Abdul-Muhsin Al- Abbaad, Muhammad 'Abdul-Wahaab Al-Banna, and his brother Hasan 'Abdul-Wahaab Al-Banna.

The Sheikh Muhammad Ibn 'Abdul-Wahaab Al-Banna comments: "I am not an 'Alim, may Allah guide you. Fine, you have forgotten Sheikh Muqbil Al-Wadi'ee "

Speaker: No I have mentioned him.

The Sheikh: He is from the best of the salafiyeen, meaning there is no one who has had more of an effect upon his students and his country more than Sheikh Muqbil. Wallahi now his students are from the best of what there is.

Speaker: Meaning it is not as some have claimed that they have changed and altered after Sheikh Muqbil.

Shaikh: Wallahi I don't know what to say, wallahi, meaning now the best place to learn salafiyyah upon its reality with knowledge and action is Dammaaj, wallahi. Now the ikhwaanul mufliseen have entered into makkah and corrupted it. Wallahi, meaning the one who is destitute can learn the correct salafiyyah along with action in Dammaaj. This Al-Ma'rabee has come to tear them apart, may Allah guide him or shatter his back.

 Assalaam allaaykum warahmatullaah, This was sent to us by Nawaz as-Srilaankee, a student in Dammaaj. It was sent to us to encourage the brothers in the west to travel to seek knowledge. He translated some of the praises of the Ulamaa for Dammaaj and its teachers. The following are some praises of the 'Ulamaah on Damaaj,Yeman and its Shaykh Aboo Abdur-Rahmaan Yahyaa ibn 'Alee al-Hajooree (Hafidhahullaah. Statement of the Imaam Muqbil ibn Haadee al-Waadi'ee (rahimahullah) in Praise of a Shaykh Yahyaa ibn 'Alee al-Haajooree.

·                    1. The Imaam said in his book "The autobiography of Abee Abdur-Rahmaan Muqbil ibn Haadee " page 48: " Yahyaa ibn 'Alee, Aboo Abdur-Rahmaan al-Hajooree, from the memorizers of the Qur'aan well learned in various fields of Knowledge. I have listened to some of his lessons which prove him to be well learned. He is strong in Tawheed (The field of Islaamic Monotheism) He has done a Tahqeeq (adding footnotes, checking the Ahadeeth and correcting errors) of the book "Islaah al-Mujtama' " by Al-Bayhaanee. Also, he has written a refutation against az-Zindaanee criticizing his book 'Tawheed al-Khaaliq' and he has (written) some other small books.

·                    2. The Imaam said in the preface to Shaykh Yahyaa's tahqeeq of the book " Islaah al Mujtama' "The brother as-Shaykh Yahyaa with praise to Allaah has became an authority in the field of teaching and legal rulings. I ask Alllaah , the Exalted, to grant him a good rewards and to bless him in his knowledge and his wealth and his children, indeed He is the All-Generous, All-Benefitiant.

·                    3. The Imaam said in the preface to as-Shaykh Yahyaa's book" as-Subh a Shaari' ". To proceed; Verily I have read through most of the book of the brother in Allaah deen. The outstanding Shaykh ibn 'Alee al-Haajooree (May Allaah protect him) and I found that he did very well and brought much benefit in his refutation against Abdul-Majeed az-Zindaane what a good reaserch he did discussing in the majins beneficial pieces of knowledge in to the topics of 'Aqeeda and Fiqh and Hadeeth and Tafseer. Our Lord has spoken the truth when he says (the english meaning is) " O you who believe if you fear Çááå (Allah) , Çááå (Allah) will grant you a criterion (al-Anfal:29). and when He says " Fear Çááå (Allah) and Çááå (Allah) will teach you " (al-Baqarah:282) and when He says " O you who believe fear Çááå (Allah) and believe in His messanger he will give you a double portion of His Mercy and He will give you a light by which you shall walk (straight). (al-Hadeed:28). Shaykh Yahyaa (May Çááå (Allah) protect him) Çááå (Allah) has endowed him with knowledge because of his adherence to the Book of Çááå (Allah) and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Çááå (Allah) (May the peace and blessings of Çááå (Allah) be upon him) He has completed the tahqeeq of the book " Islaah al Mujtama' "and other small books containing beneficial pieces of knowledge in which journeys are made in search of, the Ayah " That is the Grace of Çááå (Allah) in which he bestows on whom He wills. And Çááå (Allah) is the owner of the mighty grace. (the english meaning of al-Jumu'a:4). We ask Çááå (Allah) to grant us and him ( as-Shaykh Yahyaa) success in serving and defending the Sunnah of the Messenger of Çááå (Allah) and we ask that He protects us from the trials of the life and death, verily He is able to do all things.

·                     4. The Imaam said in the preface to ash-Shaykh Yahyaa's book " al-'Arba'oon al-Hisaan". To proceed I have read portions of what the outstanding Shaykh, the Muhaddith, the Faqhee , Yahya ibn 'Alee al-Haajooree has written in the forty Hadeeth. Dealing with gathering around the meal and I found that he (May Çááå (Allah) protect him) did very well and brought much benefit, rather he brought beneficial pieces of knowledge in which journeys are made in search of. May Çááå (Allah) grant him a good reward.

·                    5. The Imaam said in the preface to ash-Shaykh Yahyaa's book "Ahqaamul Jumu'ah" to Proceed; "I have looked through the book al-Jumu'ah by Shaykh Yahyaa ibn 'Alee Haajooree and I found it to be a magnificent book. In it are beneficial pieces of knowledge in which journeys are made in search of including, giving every hadeeth the ruling it deserves and covering the entire topic. So it is a complete book sufficient in this topic. And how can that not be the case while ash-Shaykh Yahyaa is someone who goes to the extreme in searching for what is best and in righteousness and in leaving of those things that don't benefit in the hereafter (az-Zuhud), and piety and in fearing Çááå (Allah). He is someone who speaks the truth and He for Çááå (Allah) is not afraid of the criticism of the one who criticize, and he (May Çááå protect him) acts as my substitute in the lessons in Darrul-Hadeeth in Dammaj. giving them in the best desired manner. 6. One of the guards of Shaykh Muqbil (rahimahullaah), mentioned to us that he asked Shaykh Muqbil (rahimahullaah) at a Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia "Who is the most Knowledgeable man in Yemen?" So the Shaykh remained silent for a moment then he said " ash-Shaykh Yahya "

"Verily Allaah has made successful in his choosing Shaykh Yahya for Daarul-Hadith" and also he said" Dammaj still remains as a source of knowledge in Yemen"
