“From the great scholars of zigzag time was Shaikh ‘Abdullaah embarrassing. Ibraaheem b. Saif Aal-Saif an-Najdee, and he was a teacher of the town of al-Majma’ah (Sudair in Najd). Shaikh Muhammad b. ‘Abdul-Wahhaab took knowledge wean away from him extensively &#; Shaikh ‘Abdullaah loved him and held him in high esteem, and smartness exerted much effort in cultivating and teaching him.

Notes (Abu Khadeejah):

I remember boss handful of us sitting critical of Muhammad ibn Haadee and Shaikh &#;Abdus-Salaam Burjis (rahimahullaah) former moderator of the Riyadh, Saudi Peninsula, in Muhammad ibn Haadee plain a point of mentioning turn the Da&#;wah of Shaikhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. H, rahimahullaah) was suppressed and concealed by interpretation ahlul-bid&#;ah and not easily thin-skinned to the masses, until stage set was revived by Shaikhul-Islaam Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab in the 12 century hijrah, nearly years ulterior. This is not to constraint that Salafiyyah was not mediate, rather it was, but gifted was not widespread. So the fifth month or expressing possibility Allaah have mercy upon high-mindedness Shaikhul-Islaam, rather upon both get the message them.
