A Demonstration That the Wahhabis are Khwarij

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

The following taken from Ihya’ al-Maqbur by the late muhaddits of the Age, Imam Abu al-Faydh Ahmad ibn Abi ‘Abdallah asw-Swiddiq al-Ghimmari (r.a.). 

He said, “As for the Qarniyyun, their land has not been Blessed by Allah (s.w.t.) with any wali or swalih since the beginning of Islam down to the present day.  Instead, He only Gave it the Qarn ash-Shaythan, ‘the Devil's Horn’, whose followers were the Khwarij of the thirteenth and subsequent Islamic centuries.  So fear Allah (s.w.t.) and do not be like he who is beguiled by them and supports their corrupt sect and worthless opinion and their state of misguidance which was explicitly described by the Prophet (s.a.w.).  He characterised them as the ‘Dogs of the Fire’, kilab an-naar and informed us that they are the ‘worst of all who dwell beneath the sky’ and that they ‘swerve from the religion as an arrow swerves away from its target.’ 

The Prophet (s.a.w.) said that they mouth among the best of sayings in the form of their prattlings about tawhid, and implementing the sunnah, and combating bid'ah - and yet, by Allah (s.w.t.), they are drowning in bid’ah.  In fact, there is no bid’ah worse than theirs which causes them to ‘swerve from the religion as an arrow swerves away from its target’, in spite of their superficial efforts in worship and adherence to the religion.  It is as the Prophet (s.a.w.) declared: ‘One of you would despise the prayer he says among them, and the fasting he completes with them; they recite Qur’an but it goes no further than their collarbones.’ 

It is for this reason that he refrained from making du’a for Najd in the way that he had prayed for the Yemen and for Syria, for he said, ‘Allahumma Bless us in our Yemen; Bless us in our Syria.’ 

And they said, ‘And in our Najd, O Messenger of Allah?’ 

But he repeated his prayer for the Yemen and for Syria; and they repeated their utterance; until he said, the second or the third time round, in order to explain why he would not pray for Najd.  The Prophet (s.a.w.) said, ‘That is the place of earthquakes, and fitnah, and from it the Devil’s Horn shall rise.’ 

This was narrated by Imam al-Bukhari (r.a.).  Nothing has emerged from there to bring about earthquakes and fitnah in the religion like Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab, who was astray and led others astray.  Hence he was the Devil’s Horn foretold by the Prophet (s.a.w.), and he abstained from offering prayer for Najd because of him, and because of the fitnah which would flow from his demonic da’wah.  Whoever adheres to that da’wah has committed unambiguous kufr, and is destined for apostasy and ‘swerving from the religion’, as is visible in the case of the other heretical unbelievers of the age who are notorious for their ilhad, for in every case they began by holding fast to the sect of the Devil’s Horn, as is well-known to scholars of experience and insight.”
