قال الشيخ عبيد الجابري حفظه الله تعالى:
Shaykh Ubayd Al-Jaabaree حفظه الله تعالى "The major scholars with us (fall under) two classifications from the people
1.) الهئية الرسمية الذي ناصبها ولي الأمر مثل الشيخ عبد العزيز آل الشيخ والشيخ عبد الله الغديا ن
The official body that in which was set up by the wali al-'Amr(Muslim ruler) such as The Shaykh 'Abdul-'Aziz Al-Shaykh and The Shaykh 'Abdullah Al-Ghudiyaan.
2.) وهناك علماء كبار معروفون من سلامة المنهج وصحة العقيدة
And there are the major scholars, known for the safety(from bid'ah, corruption, misguidance) of their methodology and correctness of their creed.
مثل:
الشيخ الدكتور ربيع بن هادي المدخلي
وفضيلة الشيخ الدكتور صالح بن سعد السحيمي
وفضيلة الشيخ الدكتور عبد الرزاق بن عبد المحسن البدر
وفضيلة الشيخ عبد المحسن بن حماد العباد وغيرهم كثير
Such as:
1. The Shaykh Dr. Rabi' ibn Haadee Al-Madkhalee
2. The virtuous Shaykh Dr. Saalih ibn Sa'ad As-Suhaymee
3. The virtuous Shaykh 'Abdur-Razaaq ibn 'Abdul Muhsin Al-Badr
4. The virtuous Shaykh 'Abdul Muhsin bin Hamaad Al-'Abaad
and many others.

TN: This is a follow up to our previous article entitled: "The Hardcore Facts: Hitting Hard Against Those Who Say That The Scholars Warn Against Shaykh Abdur Razzaq." which can be viewed at http://www.salafyink.com/tothosewhowarnshaykhabdurrazzaaq. We felt it necessary to do a follow-up especially since we didn't find those involved in the fitnah, defending a scholar(of the Sunnah and Ad-Da'watus Salafiyyah) and taking a firm stance in defending the honor of Shaykh 'Abdur Razaaq. The well-known statement "the flesh of the scholars is poisonous" should be weighty on us.
Not only are some silent in his defense, but they have also remained silent about the one who shamelessly lied on the Shaykh and have allowed him to malign the Shaykh's honor. Henceforth, in defense of Shaykh Abdur Razaaq حفظه الله ورعاه من كل سوء ومكره for a second time, in light of the statements circulating online by the shameless one (who will not be dignified here, by mentioning his name. The one who is already known). The same one who said, "none of the scholars advised taking from Shaykh 'Abdur Razaaq." Either you are saying Shaykh Ubayd حفظه الله تعالى isn't a scholar and any other scholar that has praised the shaykh. Or, you are lying through your teeth. I opt for the second one." Henceforth, we come to the defense of Shaykh 'Abdur Razaaq, once again and to the defense of his father حفظهم الله.
On the other hand, you see some rushing to translate the works of Shaykh Abdur Razaaq, but where is the rush to defend his honor?! Some have even gone as far as to say, that we shouldn't return to his father, a major scholar in regards to the affairs of men and other such things in secrecy. Have you not heard what Allaah ta'ala said which translates to mean: "There is no good in most of their secret talks..." Noble Qur'aan 4:114. Where is your proof for statements against these two mountains of knowledge? We have yet to find any such public statement(s)to date?! Rather, we do have the above from Ash-Shaykh 'Ubayd Al-Jaabaree حفظه الله تعالى, in which no matter how old, it still stands until it is removed with a clear refutation with pieces of evidence(s).
Likewise, in our other article, we have shown how other scholars have praised the Shaykh and his efforts. May Allaah protect the inheritors of the Prophets and Messengers عليهم الصلاة و السلام and May Allaah guide us and you to what He is pleased with and to what He Loves.
Additional Footnotes Of Advice, To The Commoners And Some Callers Who Have Taken To Warning Against Some Of Our Scholars Without Due Right
TN : Recently, there has been those who have been spreading tweets, text, and post via social media about shaykh Rabi'sحفظه الله تعالى (supposed statement of) advice, to stay away from some of the mashaaykh such as:
Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli
Shaykh Abdullah Al-Najmi
Shaykh Muhamad ibn Zayd
Shaykh Fouad Al-Amri
Shaykh Usamah Al-Amri
ShaykhMuhammad Akur
Henceforth, this prompted me to reach out to Ash-Shaykh Abdur Rahman Muhyyid-Deen حفظه الله تعالى one of the major scholars in Medinah. I sent him a screenshot of a social media group warning from the scholars, along with the (supposed) warnings of Shaykh Rabi' and asked:
Me:" As Salaamu Alaykum, our honorable Shaykh and (figurative) father. The general people are disseminating these warnings (in English and in Arabic) from the mashaaykh claiming they have right because it is from Shaykh Rabee', may Allaah preserve him. Did the Shaykh say this and what is your advice to the general people and the youth, who spread it to social media?
Shaykh: "Do not pay attention to it."
So, I advise those of you who are quick to post these warnings, to fear Allaah and stop the fitnah. Likewise, the youth and the rest of my Saalafi brothers and sisters, if it reaches you. I advise you Shaykhykh Abdur Rahman has advised with below: "Do not pay attention to it."
