14. What is being spread about them is full of lies and falsehoods—as is the way of the Hizbiyyeen. They praise Muhammad Al-Imam and make him out to be someone

15. We, though younger and with less knowledge than you, have understood the reality of these groups. Allah has guided us to see that the one you praise—who you, along with others like As-Suhaimi, commend—has a clear weakness in his manhaj (i.e. Muhammad Al-Imam). There are those who have acknowledged this in their own ranks, such as Al-Bura'ee who confirmed that there is a weakness in their manhaj. So how can you rely on those with weak manhaj? #صالح_السحيمي 16. Sheikh Yahya, may Allah preserve him, is not one who causes division; rather, his masājid are filled, and your warnings only make people flock to them even more. He is a man of knowledge, and his teachings are not about fitnah. But you, with all due respect, are spreading lies and rumors. People have distanced themselves from these fitnah-inducing messages and found comfort in the guidance of those who are sincere in their efforts to bring people together, not divide them. Sheikh Yahya continues to guide them with wisdom. He encourages unity, avoids fitnah, and seeks the pleasure of Allah through prayer, fasting, and recitation of the Qur’an. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever makes an false accusation against a Muslim, Allah will make them dwell in the foul fluid flowing from the inhabitants of Hell till he retracts his statement." 17. Why don't you ask those connected with Sheikh Yahya who are with you over there about the Da'wah? Why do you believe the lies of troublemakers about us? You only harm yourselves by perpetuating these false accusations. The truth has become evident to the people, and no one will be swayed by these false claims anymore. 18. Sheikh Yahya is a scholar of the Muslims, and it is necessary that you acknowledge this. He is not a caller to fitnah, nor is he one who divides the ranks of the Salafis. He has a strong grasp of the evidence, and he understands the consequences of sowing discord among the Muslims. Those who strive to divide the Ummah, whether by attacking their leaders or by dividing them, will face severe consequences from Allah. You should not describe Sheikh Yahya in such a manner, for such accusations are not fitting. Those who delight in spreading such things will only harm themselves. 19. How can you speak of uniting the word when you speak ill of a man who is Salafi, a scholar acknowledged by the scholars for his knowledge, and praised by our leaders for his goodness, righteousness, and adherence to the Salafi manhaj in his dealings with them and others? He is not a caller to fitnah, nor is he involved in it. Rather, he warns against it. Whenever fitnah arises, Allah extinguishes it with scholars like him, may Allah protect him. He extinguished the fitnah of rebellion against the rulers while those you say should be returned to had minimal input. We know of no one (in Yemen) who spoke out with such strength against the revolutions, coups, and the Arab Spring more than our Sheikh Yahya. Likewise, he stood against the Rafidha with strength and vigour when the situation called for that. 20. What you say, Sheikh, is not a call to unite the word or to bring goodness among Ahlus Sunnah. Instead, it is causing division and engaging in fitnah. However, we remain unconcerned by this warning and pay no attention to it. Allāh says, "Say, 'Everyone acts according to his manner, but your Lord is most knowing of who is best guided in way.'" [Al-Isra: 84].
