The virtuous and esteem scholar Saalih Bin S'ad As Suhaymī (hafithahullah) said during his lesson, the Explanation of "Fadl-al-Islaam" on the 8th of Rabee' ath-Thãnee 1435 Hijri:
"My brothers return to the Mashaayikh, return to the Senior Scholars:
- Our Shaykh His eminence [Abdul-Azīz bin Abdullah Ãli as Shaykh] the Mufti
- His eminence Shaykh Saalih Al Fawzaan
- [The] virtuous Shaykh Saalih Al Luhaydaan
- [The] virtuous Shaykh Abdul-Muhsin Al 'Abaad al Badr
- [The] virtuous Shaykh Zayd Bin Haadi Al Madkhali
- [The] virtuous Shaykh Rabee Bin Haadi Al Madkhali
- Our virtuous Shaykh 'Alī Naasir Al Faqīhee
These lofty scholars, return to them, benefit from their knowledge and present to them the likes of these things (of differing etc.), they will direct you (in them). As for quarreling about that which is between you or there comes to you in your city (or country) a small untrained (or ) ignorant person, then he divides your ranks, no matter what country he's from. Verily, one of them mentioned to me that indeed from the people, Zayd (meaning so and so), came to them in their country, and they were upon one path and their hearts (were like) the heart of one man, then he divided them and brought about partisans and factions!
Be careful of this matter, (it) is very dangerous (and) convey this speech (of mine) to others. And I ask Allah, the Blessed and Most High, to benefit you and I with that we have mentioned and that which we know, and we do not have of knowledge except a small amount, rather our articles (or) commodities (ya’nee: that which we have done of value) are (but) little, but we hope from Allah that we are proceeding upon the Minhaj of our virtuous scholars, those who refute [and expel] from the book of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, the distortion of those who exceed the bounds, undue the assumption of those who nullify and the (false) interpretation of those who are ignorant. And Allah knows best.
And may peace, prayers and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad (sallAllahu 'alayhi was salam), his family and all of his companions."
