The great scholar
Rabee’ Bin Haadi Al Madkhali (may Allah the Most High preserve him) said:
العامي يعلَّم
العقيدة ويحذَّر من أهل البدع، العوام الآن.
أكثرهم أصبحوا جنداً
لأهل البدع فلابد من تحذيرهم.

‘The common folk should be taught ‘Aqeedah (creed) and warned
against the people of innovation. These days, most common folk have become
recruits for the people of innovation, so they must be warned.’

Biography of Ash-Shaykh
Al-Allāmah Rabī’ Ibn Hādī Al-Madkhalī and the Praise of the Scholars for him:
.....
Shaikh Abdullāh al-Ahmarī said: I asked our Shaikh Ibn Bāz
(rahimahullāh) over fourteen years ago, “O our Shaikh! Shaikh Rabī’
criticises so-and-so and so-and-so and he criticises the callers.” So
Shaikh Ibn Bāz responded:
“Fear Allāh! The man is
an Imām in the Sunnah!” [1]
[1] See An-Naqulāt
as-Salafiyyah fir-Radd ‘alat-Tā’ifatil-Haddādiyyah, (51).
.....
Then Shaikh Ibn ‘Uthaimīn
was asked: “There is a question concerning the books of Shaikh Rabī’? (i.e what
is your opinion concerning them?)” So the Shaikh (rahimahullāh) responded:
“It is apparently clear
that this question is not in need of my answer. And just as Imām Ahmad
was asked about Ishāq bin Rāhooyah (died 238AH) and he replied, ‘Someone like
me is asked about Ishāq?! Rather, Ishāq is to be asked about me.’ And
I spoke at the beginning of my speech about that which I know about Shaikh
Rabī’, may Allāh grant him success, and what I mentioned has never ceased to be
what I hold about him in my soul, up until this time. And his arrival here and
his words that have reached me, then no doubt, they are such that they will
increase a person in his love for him and in his supplication for him.” [4]
