"The Wahhabis “marched with big armies to the area of Ta’if... they lay siege to the Muslim area, subdued them, killing men, women and children. They looted the Muslims’ belongings & possessions. Only a few people escaped their barbarism.” ~ Fitnat al-Wahhabiyya, Dahlan [d.1886]
“They [the Wahhabi movement] believe that only they are true Muslims, and those who differ from their creed are polytheists. Based on this, they consider the killing of Ahl as-Sunnah and their scholars as permissible”. ~ Hanafi Judge, Imam Muhammad ibn Abidin [d. 1836].
“[The Wahhabis] oppose Muslim Orthodoxy and the madhabs while leading the Ummah astray, declaring the blood & wealth of MUSLIMS halal for spilling and seizure. This group took filthy, dark doubts & used them to surround people.” ~ Hanbali, Dawud ibn Sulaiman Al-Khalidi [d.1881]
“Oh Ibn Abdul-Wahhab, I advise you, for the sake of Allah, to hold your tongue regarding the MUSLIMS…You have no right to excommunicate (takfir) the majority of the MUSLIMS while you are deviant from the majority of the Muslims.” ~ Imam Muhammad Ibn Sulayman al-Kurdi [d. 1780].
“We will speak about the kufr of what the wretched Najdi [Ibn Abdul Wahhab] said about Imam Abu Hanifa not being upon anything and refusing to follow the Imams.”
~ Imam Alawi al-Haddad (1801).
“Ibn ‘Abdul Wahhab has declared [Muslims] to be kafir and… their blood and wealth licit for spilling and seizure. This belief was… built upon their founder's ignorance, hatred and bad thoughts about the believers…
~ Hanbali Sage, Hasan ash-Shatti (d. 1858)
"[A] tiny cult that emerged out of Najd... limit themselves to the Book and Sunnah while they neither understand it in its forms defined previously, nor do any of them know the basic fundamental aspects of knowledge."
Hanbali sage, Imam Mustafa ibn Ahmad ash-Shatti [d. 1929]
“Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab and his followers are people of innovation because they contradict all of that which has been handed down.”
~ Hanbali Scholar & Judge, Muhammad Ibn Fairuz [d. 1801].
“Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab was shown to have reached the level of a false Prophet and a liar of the same capacity as Musailimah, Sajjah the false Prophetess, Tulayha & others. As for his father, he was a pious man.”
~ Imam Abdullah Ibn Dawud al-Basri [d.1810].
“Every Imam is required to push people away from this astray innovator [MIAW]. The ummah has documented the madhabs in the best way... What does this ignorant fool know about the Book & Sunnah?!”
~ Major authority of the Hanbalis of his time, Imam Muhammad as-Saffarini [d.1775].
"The Khawarij corrupted the meaning of the Book and the Sunnah... This can be witnessed now in a cult that appeared in Al-Hijaz by the name of the Wahhabis. They think they are upon something, but they are only liars."
~ Maliki scholar, Imam Ahmad as-Sawi [d.1826].
“If [MIAW] was unable to kill openly, he would send someone to assassinate him in their bed or in the marketplace at night, since he judged whoever contradicted him with takfir & legalised their killing.”
~ Ibn Humaid [d. 1878] OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHIC work on Hanbali scholars, p.680
