I begin with the name of Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. I praise Him and I seek His generosity and forgiveness. I humbly ask Him to raise the rank of Prophet Muhammad and protect his nation fromwhat he feared for them.

NAMES THAT HAVE BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO THE WAHHAABIYYS

Al-Mushabbihah, “the people who make similarities”, is among the deviant factions about which the Prophet (3alayhi-s-Salaam) warned. They are religiously defined as the people who liken; resemble Allaah to His creations. The so-called Salafiyys, “the followers of the Salafiyy Da3wah”, as they call themselves, are a branch of Al-Mushabbihah, as we will prove, if Allaah willed.
Rather than being Salafiyy (followers of the scholars of the first 300 years), they are talafiyy (destructive). Do not call them Salafiyy, call them imposters. Call them “so-called Salafiyys”, or “pseudo (fake) Salafiyys”. Put “Salafiyy” in quotation marks to show that you do not consider them to be Salafiyy. Call them The Wahhaabiyyah, the name given to them by the scholars when they first deviated more than 200 years ago from the land of Najd, following their master, Muhammad Ibn 3Abdil-Wahhaab. If Allaah willed, we will also speak about the true Salaf.
They also call themselves Ahlu-l-Haqq (the People of the Truth) and Ahlu-l-Hadiyth (the People of [the science of] Hadiyth). When calling themselves Ahlu-l-Hadiyth, they truly mean that they (unrightfully) make ijtihaad from the hadiyths- bypassing what the mujtahids said. They have also been called Laa Mathhabiyyah (those who do not claim any school of fiqh), and Ghayru-l-Muqallidiyn (those who do not follow [QUALIFIED] scholarship). Truly, they are Ahlu-l-Kibr (the People of Arrogance), Ahlu-d-Dalaalah (the people of misguidance), Al-Mushabbihah (the people who liken Allaah to His creations), Al-Mujassimah (those who believe that Allaah has a body), Al-Hashwiyyah (people who speak nonsense) . Many people have fallen into their snare. Except for their kufr, they talk and dress like Muslims. However, lend them an ear, and surely they will throw an unfortunate person into the black flames of Jahannam. This does not include those who are unaware of the bad belief of the Wahhaabiyys, but may affiliate themselves with the so-called Salafiyys. The Wahhaabiyys are as The Prophet (3alayhi-s-Salaam) said:
أناسٌ من جلدتنا يتكلمون بِألسنتنا تسمع منهم و تنكر دعاة على أبواب جهنم مَن استمع إليهم قذفوه فيها
“There are people who look like us and talk with our talk. You would hear their message and reject. They are preachers at the gates of Hell. Whoever listens to them, they will throw him in it,” (Al-Bukhaariyy).

Shaykh ^Abdullah Al-Harariyy's Commands (وصية)

Shaykh ^Abdullah, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله

This is what ^Abdullah, the son of Muhammad, the son of Yusuf al-Harariyy commands himself, his family, his beloved ones, and his students: The Testification that no one is God except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

I command that you acquire the religious knowledge. It is the indicator to everlasting happiness and to success in this world and in the Hereafter.

I command that you hold to and implement the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet , to adhere to the methodology of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama^ah, to work to spread this methodology and teach it to people, and to bid the lawful and forbid the unlawful.

I command that you love one another for the sake of Allah, and advise one another for the sake of Allah. Be supportive of one another. Do not be disunited, reciprocating aversion and hatred for one another. Apply the hadith of the Prophet : “One is not a perfect believer until one loves for one's fellow what one loves for oneself of good matters.” I warn you against discord and preferring money over the Hereafter, because the enemies of the Religion are plotting and working diligently to destroy it. Thus, be like those mentioned in the hadith of the Prophet : “The believer to the believer is like a solid structure, one part of which strengthens the other.”

I also command that you support your fellows in the Association. Be of assistance to them and not against them. Come together and do not disunite, lest your power is lost.

Any one who weakens this Association or alienate people from it cast him off. Know that this person is injuring the Religion.

I ask Allah for me and you to have the good practice and ending.

Praise be to Allah and Salah and Salam on the Prophet and his honorable and blessed Companions.

^Abdullah, the son of Muhammad al-Harariyy
