Introduction
All praise is due to Allaah, we praise Him and seek His help and ask for His forgiveness, and we seek refuge in Allaah from the evils of our souls and from our evil deeds. I bear witness that there is no deity that has the right to be worshipped except Allaah alone without any partner and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Slave and His Messenger. To Proceed:
As is well known, a fitnah has emerged from Yemen that has affected the Salafees in many parts of the world, the fitnah of Abul-Hasan Al-Ma'ribee. After the death of the reviver of the Sunnah in Yemen, our beloved Sheikh Muqbil ibn Haadee Al-Waadi'ee (rahimahuAllaah), Abul-Hasan revealed what he had been harboring and began to attack the da'wah of Ahlus-Sunnah in Yemen; as the time of fear had gone as he openly stated in his tapes. When this fitnah first emerged many of the Ulamaa of Ahlus-Sunnah recognized it and refuted the carrier of this fitnah. Al-Hamdulillaah many of these refutations have been translated and are available for the English speaking Muslims. Many of these refutations contain points that Abul-Hasan had strayed in. We find the people who defend Abul-Hasan focus on these points saying, 'This point, Abul-Hasan has made Tawbah from that', 'This point, Abul-Hasan really meant such and such', and so on.
Abul-Hasan has recently joined forces with a well known hizbee organization here in Yemen called Jam'eeyah Al-Hikmah.
This organization started when a group of the students of Ash-Sheikh Muqbil (rahimahuAllaah) embraced the ideology of the famous hizbee Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul-Khaaliq the leader of the organization Ihyaa At-Turaath, known in America as 'the Daar of Islamic Heritage.' That occurred when Abdullah As-Sabt another leader of Ihyaa At-Turaath came here to Yemen a long time ago in an attempt to control the da'wah of Ash-Sheikh Muqbil (rahimahuAllaah). Ash-Sheikh Muqbil (rahimahuAllaah) told Abdullah As-Sabt,
"If you want to support the da'wah for Allah's sake (good etc.); however, we are not prepared to sell our da'wah!"
Abdullah As-Sabt, when he realized that he could not control the da'wah of the Sheikh, he sat with a group of the Sheikh's students calling them to his methodology. They embraced it then later on they left Ash-Sheikh Muqbil (rahimahuAllaah) and opened up an organization. This organization later divided into two groups, Jam'eeyah Al-Hikmah upon the methodology of Ihyaa At-Turaath and Jam'eeyah Al-Ihsaan upon the Surooree methodology.
For many years, up until his death, Ash-Sheikh Muqbil (rahimahuAllaah) has warned against these two hizbee organizations and their leaders. Recently Abul-Hasan Al-Ma'ribee has held a meeting with Muhammad Al-Mahdee and Ahmad Al-Mu'allim and Sa'd Al-Humaid in which they published a declaration. Muhammad Al-Mahdee is one of the leaders of Jam'eeyah Al-Hikmah located in Ibb. He was given an honorary degree from a university in Yemen for writing a book defaming Ash-Sheikh Muqbil (rahimahuAllaah) and his da'wah. Ash-Sheikh Muqbil (rahimahuAllaah) used to criticize him intensely as he is the one who called some of the major students of the Sheikh to hizbiyyah.
The Sheikh (rahimahuAllaah) called him 'an arrogant liar', 'a fool' and warned against him up until his death. Ahmad Al-Mu'allim is a hizbee in Hadramaut who Ash-Sheikh Muqbil (rahimahuAllaah) used to warn against up until his death. This man would attend the celebration of the Prophet's (sallAllaahu alaihi wasallam) birthday along with the Soofees and would be allowed to speak and would not warn from this bid'ah, he would also call the people to vote in the elections. The Sheikh (rahimahuAllaah) called him 'a man of many faces' and in the Sheikh's (rahimahuAllaah) sickness before he died he refused to go out to greet Ahmad Al-Mu'allim when Al-Mu'allim went to visit the Sheikh. This declaration formed by Abul-Hasan and Muhammad Al-Mahdee and Ahmad Al-Mu'allim and Sa'd Al-Humaid has been refuted by Ash-Sheikh Abdul-Azeez Al-Bura'ee (hafithahuAllaah). Ash-Sheikh Al-Bura'ee (hafithahuAllaah) is from the students of Ash-Sheikh Muqbil (rahimahuAllaah) and he is one of the Mashaayikh that Ash-Sheikh Muqbil (rahimahuAllaah) mentioned in his farewell advice advising them to meet if the need occurs to handle the problem. Ash-Sheikh Muqbil (rahimahuAllaah) has called Ash-Sheikh Al-Bura'ee 'The one who criticizes with insight' and was pleased with him up until his death. By the permission of Allaah (Jalla wa ‘Ala),I have translated the refutation of Ash-Sheikh Al-Bura'ee (hafithahuAllaah) against this declaration in an attempt to help the Muslims in the west see for themselves the deviant minhaj that Abul-Hasan is treading.
This introduction is only so the people can better understand the refutation of the Sheikh (hafithahuAllaah). May Allaah keep us firm on the truth till we die.
