The Virtues of Shaikh Rabee' ibn Hadee al-Madkhalee, and Salafee Scholars; A Warning against Attacking, Belittling the Scholars

[Maher.ibn.Ahmad.Attiyeh]

Bismillaah Al-Hamdulillaah wa salatu wa salaamu 'ala rasulullaah
Amma-ba'd

Question to Al-'Allaamah Shaikh Saaleh Al-Luhaydaan (may Allaah preserve him): "Why is there so much speech about Shaikh Rabee (may Allaah preserve him) and why do they speak ill of him?"

Answer:
How excellent a man he is in his creed and jealousy for the Sunnah! And there is no doubt that those who speak against him do so because he refutes those who oppose the Sunnah. They hate him because he refutes the opposers. And perhaps the one who does not oppose (the Sunnah) envies him because he cautions against what that person does not realize. How excellent a man in knowledge and religion! [Partly paraphrased... Download audio here: http://www.sahab.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=141370]
