The believers, men and women, are Auliya (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another, they enjoin (on the people) Al-Maruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do), and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. polytheism and disbelief of all kinds, and all that Islam has forbidden); they perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give the Zakat, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah will have His Mercy on them. Surely Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. [9:71]

Shaykh Rabees love For Shaykh Al-Luhaydaan

And Shaykh Al Fawzaan

In the name of Allaah, The Most-Gracious, The Most-Merciful

May the peace, mercy and blessing of Allaah be upon you.

I would like to benefit you :

I was with Shaykh Rabee today, Saturday, 10/7/32H while on our way back from Salat-ul-Ishaa in Al Haram Al Makkee, and while speaking to the Shaykh, he asked me about Shaykh Saalih Al Fawzaan hafidhahullaah - if he had arrived in Makkah? I informed him that he will be arriving on Monday in shaa Allaah as he has a lesson on Tafseer in Al Haram.

On this the Shaykh mentioned him *Fawzaan+ with good and said, He is a great scholar, Salafee and truthful.

In accordance to the occasion I informed the Shaykh [Rabee'] about me having mention him many times while visiting Shaykh Saalih Al Fawzaan and how he [Fawzaan] had mentioned him [Rabee'] with good and asked about his health, and said : Shaykh Rabee is a great scholar and says, Our brother Rabee and this was recent.

Then Shaykh Rabee hafidhahullaah said, By Allaah! I wish to die before him and Shaykh Saalih AlLuhaydaan. By Allaah! If I was given a choice, I would choose to die before them, because I do not know what will become of this world if they passed away and what will the condition be?

And then the Shaykh burst into tears.

I said to him, I ask Allaah to preserve you all.

And also from what I remember about such occasions is when Shaykh Abdullaah Al Ghudayyaan rahimahullaah passed away on which Shaykh Rabee became very sad and said to me when I mentioned his death, With the death of Shaykh Al Ghudayyan it is as if a mountain has collapsed. And he used to mention him of his fighting innovations collectively - rahimahullaah - and he used to entitle him as Al Imaam.

And also from what I recollect now from a few days gone by, I mentioned Shaykh Saalih Al-Luhaydaan in front of the Shaykh on which he said, Shaykh Al-Luhaydaan is a pillar from the pillars of the Salafee Dawah and mentioning him a lot and calls his as Al Imaam.

These are quotes from the speech that goes about in the gatherings of these great scholars.

And my intention for spreading this was to explain the status of one scholar with the other, and inshaa Allaah if the speech of Shaykh Rabee was read out to both Shaykh Saalih Al Fawzaan and Shaykh Saalih Al-Luhaydaan, this will increase love and affection between them.

And piety and love more and more inshaaAllaah as this is a great goal and that is the quest of spreading the spirit of love and affection among people of Sunnah as much as ones ability and more so among the people of knowledge as reminder and gratitude, so they may become as a unified structure, strengthening one another, leaving no way for the people of desires to enter between them.

So may Allaah protect our scholars, bless them and benefit us from their knowledge.

This is it. May Allaah send his greetings and blessings upon our Prophet Mohammad and his companions.
