Introduction
All Praise is due to Allaah, the Lord of the World and prayers and peace upon His Messenger, his family and his companions.
To proceed:
Then continuing in unveiling the ignorance and deception of the straying Qutubis who continue to defend the mockery of the
Prophets of Allaah, and the slandering of the Caliphs of Islaam and the belittling and ridiculing of the Companions of Allaah’s
Messenger, and the takfir of the whole of mankind, let alone of Banu Umayyah, and the innovations of the Jahmiyyah,
Ash’ariyyah, Mu’tazilah, Khawarij and other than them – by their despicable action of accommodating, applauding,
aggrandising, glorifying and raising the Innovators – using what they call "one of the chains of evidences" the very unfortunate
and hasty four pages that came from Shaikh Bakr Abu Zaid, who has since shown remorse for what he wrote, and who
reviles the one who spreads them and calls for the curse of Allaah upon the one who distributes them – then we present
to them and to those deceived by them – the reality of the matter, as it truly transpired – so that they withdraw, and repent
from their deception of the common-folk: fooling them and deceiving them with matters concerning which they are not in a
position to verify and ascertain - just like their deception with the very old praise of Imaam al-Albani for Qutb, which has since
been abrogated, for Imaam al-Albani praised and commended the efforts of Shaikh Rabee’ in refuting and exposing the
"ignorance and deviation" of Sayyid Qutb as we have outlined in part 3 of this series.
Statement 1
Shaikh Rabee Ibn Haadee wrote:
"In the Name of Allaah, Full of Mercy, Ever-Merciful (to His Believing Servants). All praise is due to Allaah and prayers and
peace upon the Messenger of Allaah, his companions and whoever follows his guidance. To proceed: Then the people upon
falsehood have attached themselves to the letter of Shaikh Bakr Abu Zaid in such a severe manner, like the drowning person
holds onto a splinter (of wood).
However, in truth these papers are devoid of truth and only aid falsehood, without (containing) any knowledge, guidance or
(having any basis in) the Illuminating Book. Rather to the one who acquires his understanding from Allaah and His Messenger
and who respects his own intelligence and who respects the truth, they are more feeble than the house of a spider. And these
papers do not suit the one to whom they are described (i.e. the author), due to what they contain of false lies.
It is for this reason that you see him fleeing from them. And some of the people of nobility, excellence and erudition
rejected these writings, amongst the Shaikh Salih al-Fawzaan and Shaikh Sa’d al-Hussain, and he wrote a refutation
of this letter
. Rather I say that anyone who respects the Salafi manhaj will reject what this letter contains. And I also mention that amongst
those who checked over this letter after me was Shaikh Zaid Muhammad Haadee Madhkhalee. And (eventually) Shaikh Bakr
Abu Zaid disliked that his letter should be distributed, rather he reviled the one who distributed it.
And also amongst those who followed him (Shaikh Bakr Abu Zaid) up and who requested him to make an apology
was Shaikh Alee Hasan ‘Abdul-Hameed. So Shaikh Bakr Abu Zaid promised him that he would make an apology but
he has not yet done so.
And what gives evidence to the fact that he was annoyed and dissatisfied with his letter is that he was not pleased that
it should be distributed, neither did he have it printed and nor did he give it a title
. However, the foolish minded, the aiders of falsehood, and of wahdatul-wujood and hulool and ta’teel of the Attributes and
revilement of the Companions, rather the revilement of the Noble Messengers and attacking them and other such heresies which
the books of Sayyid Qutb contain –they are the ones who printed and distributed it.
And Rabee’ bin Haadee Umayr al-Madkhalee refuted them (i.e. the books of Qutb) in four books, assisting the deen of Allaah
and His Messengers in all of that and defending the Companions of the Seal of the Noble Messengers. Hence, it is sufficient
dignity for Rabee’ that he defends the deen of Allaah and the those who carried and conveyed it. And it is sufficient humiliation
and ignominy for the defenders of Sayyid that they have contested the truth and its carriers from among the Prophets and their
Companions.

===============================================
Statement 2
The Noble Shaikh Rabee' also said, a few months later, in his introduction to ‘al-Hadd ul-Faasil’ which is a refutation of
Shaikh Bakr Abu Zaid’s letter:
"In the Name of Allaah, Full of Mercy, Ever-Merciful (to His Believing Servants). All praise is due to Allaah and prayers and
peace upon best of creation, Muhammad Bin Abdullaah, his family, his companions and whoever follows his guidance. To
proceed: A few years ago four pages (of writings) came out and which were attributed to Shaikh Bakr Abu Zaid. So when I asked
him about them, he became annoyed about them and also about those who had distributed them and he said to me, "These
people want to cause separation between those who love each other".
And likewise, Shaikh Zaid bin Muhammad bin Haadee al-Madkhalee also asked him about these papers and so he reviled those
who spread these papers. And also in front of others, [the Shaikh] made excuses and said that these papers were stolen from him
and were spread without his consent and satisfaction.
And up until now, he has not officially and openly acknowledged them, and neither is he happy about them being
printed and distributed, and hence, these papers are tantamount to a foundling (abandoned baby), with no legal
father (as its claimant).
It is deserving for every sensible person that he should become ashamed on account of them, because the very one to whom they
are attributed refuses to acknowledge them. And it is also deserving for the one who to whom they are attributed to be
ashamed on account of them, since they defend falsehood and they also defend a very great strayer who gathered
together the greatest of strayings and disgraces, amongst them: reviling the Messenger of Allaah from amongst the greatest of
the messengers of Allaah, and from the greatest of the resolute (oulil-azm) is the Kaleem of Allaah Moosa (salallaahu alaihi
wasallam), and amongst them: reviling the greatest of the companions of Allaah’s Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam), chief
amongst them, Uthmaan (radiallaahu anhu) – rather Takfir of some of them and accusing others with hypocrisy, lying, bribery,
buying the various (material) stocks and liabilities (from the Bayt ul-Maal) to the end of his despicable revilement of the
companions of Muhammad (salallaahu alaihi wasallam) and may Allaah be pleased with them.
So say whatever you like in reprimand of these papers which have falsely been labelled "An-Nasihah adh-Dhahabiyyah" (The
Golden Advice) and which have been distributed across the world with all intensity. And amongst their flaws is that they are
more flimsy than the house of a spider due to their being devoid of truth, knowledge and justice. They do not do justice
for those who were reviled by Sayyid Qutb amongst the Prophets and companions of Allaahs’ Messenger (salallaahu alaihi
wasallam), and neither do they do justice to Islaam when Sayyid Qutb attributes the most evil of beliefs to it, the most astray of
them being the belief of Wahdat ul-Wujood (Physical Unity of Existence) and that of Hulool (indwelling of Allaah) and denial
(ta’teel) of Allaah’s attributes and belittling the miracles of the Muhammad (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam), and also his ascription
of Marxist Socialism to Islaam, and also his belittlement of Islaam by saying:
"And it is necessary for Islaam to judge, since it is a unique, constructive and positivist aqidah which has been moulded and
shaped from Christianity and Communism together, in the most perfect of ways and which comprises all of their (i.e
Christianity and Communism’s) objectives and adds in addition to them harmony, balance and justice."
And other such misguidance.
However, the followers of every so and so make him revered and raised and so they grant him the position of the one who
cannot be questioned as to what he does. And then they show loyalty and enmity for his sake and so they place themselves in
the lowest of the levels of mankind, such that they have not sense or intelligence that will prevent them from this. So they do
not follow the methodology of Islaam in their loyalty and disownment and in their rulings and their positions.
This is in fact the characteristic of the rowdy hooligans of every age and place, and it is with the likes of these such
people that the Messengers, the righteous and the callers to truth are warred against in every time and place
. And then from them emerge the lowly ones who then occupy the rank of the great ones – and then they become tawaagheet
(who are obeyed and listened beyond their sharee’ah limits) on account of whom the true religion of Allaah and its callers are
fought against.
And finally, I find myself compelled to grant the permission for the printing of this book, ‘al-Hadd al-Faasil’ as a clarification of
the truth, and as a means of aiding it and demolishing the falsehood of Sayyid Qutb, which is spread in the name of Islaam, and
in order to repel the oppression of his awliyaa, the aiders of falsehood and those who defend its people.
And this occurs from me after a very long wait for Bakr Abu Zaid to show some sense of justice and to announce the
conviction (of crime) of whoever spreads and distributes his papers, and in the name of ‘adh-Dhahabiyyah’, and who
brags about them. However, he has not yet done so, and hence I have been compelled to spread my refutation of him,
after I had made many excuses for him and after many others had also censured him
.

Statement 3
Stated Shaikh Usaamah al-Qoosee:
"It is important to make a notification here of what has been distributed in the past couple of years with the title ‘al-Khitaab
adh-Dhahabee’, belonging to Shaikh Bakr bin Abdullaah Abu Zaid. This world has been filled by this short discourse by the
biased partisans and activists, and they claim that it is decisive proof after which there can be no other decisive proof.
Firstly:
Shaikh Bakr Abu Zaid – may Allaah preserve him – and guide him and us, when Shaikh Rabee’ spoke to him directly, saying,
"I sent you a draft copy of my book ‘Adwaa Islaamiyyah alaa Aqeedah Sayyid Qutb wa Fikrihi’ but you did not refute my
book, you did not refute the drat copy…" meaning Shaikh Bakr Abu Zaid did not originally send a refutation to Shaikh Rabee
from the very beginning.
Shaikh Rabee’ sent a copy of the draft to a group of the scholars. Some of them wrote introductions to the book, others praised
it and others lavishly commended it. The important point here is that what was Shaikh Bakr Abu Zaid’s position towards it?
He did not refute the book, nor did he comment upon it.
So then Shaikh Rabee’ was taken by surprise, especially when he did not receive a refutation from Shaikh Bakr, so he was taken
by surprise by this discourse entitled ‘al-Khitaab adh-Dhahabee’ (The Golden Discourse), which had been spread in every part of
the world. Shaikh Rabee’ then got on the phone with Shaikh Bakr and said, "What is this?!" He replied, "By Allaah, I do not
have any knowledge about this matter. About this, I say may Allaah curse the one who distributes this discourse."
And Shaikh Rabee’ personally told this to me that he, Bakr Abu Zaid, said, "May Allaah curse the one who
distributes this discourse." So he supplicated against such a one with a curse and we say ‘Aameen’.
Secondly:
Shaikh Ali al-Halabi – may Allaah preserve him – informed me that he asked Shaikh Bakr Abu Zaid in his own house about
this discourse and he said, "By Allaah these were words that I had written and I was hoping to send them to Shaikh
Rabee’ however, I put them away since they were in need of improvement. However, they were then taken from my
office without my knowledge and distributed. And I do not know who did that."
The important thing is that whatever the case, it is binding upon Shaikh Bakr that he frees himself from this discourse in the
same manner that his discourse was actually spread (in the first place) (i.e. openly and publicly).
However he has not done so??!! He has not done so.
So I say, for the purpose of refuting this falsehood which has been spread under the name, "al-Khitaab adh-Dhahabee",
"al-Khitaab adh-Dhahabee", "al-Khitaab adh-Dhahabee", that firstly, our Shaikh, Shaikh Rabee’ did not receive any reply from
Shaikh Bakr to this day of ours, against this book (of Shaikh Rabee’ refuting Qutb), no comments, no observations, no pieces
of advice. And for this reason our Shaikh, Shaikh Rabee’ felt compelled to write a book in which he refutes all these claims –
even if Shaikh Bakr says that the discourse was taken from him or even if he curses the one who distributes it, or … or …
However this discourse requires a separate refutation in another book called, ‘al-Hadd al-Faasil Bayn al-Haqq wal-Baatil’, which
is actually a refutation of this so called discourse. Therefore, whoever reads the so called "Golden Discourse", and it is not
golden at all, and indeed, as we have mentioned its author says, "May Allaah curse the one who distributes it" and we say
"Aameen", we say Ameen to the supplication of the one who authored this discourse. So when you read this discourse, then you
should also read along with it the refutation of it so that you be from the just people…
And all praise is due to Allaah, the Lord of all the Worlds, for the truth has surely appeared since the our Shaikh wrote ‘al-Hadd
al-Faasil Bayn al-Haqq wal-Baatil’."
