Fear Allah, Sheikh, and be mindful of the da’wah.

31. If you truly love the Salafi da’wah, then you should respect these men who are dedicated to knowledge, teaching, and calling to Allah. If you doubt my words, send your messengers to Yemen without informing anyone. Let them visit our centres and their centres, and they will see the truth. They will find out who is causing fitnah and who is genuinely benefiting the Muslims. But some of you seem to want a diluted da’wah, one that does not speak out against the people of misguidance, one that is lenient and avoids tackling the problems, even when the truth is clear. This is why you support Muhammad al-Imam and those involved in his fitnah, who are splitting the Salafis and perpetuating partisan divisions.
32. As for those who are truly committed to the Salafi Da‘wah, like Sheikh Yahya, they engage with wisdom and kindness, addressing even those who may disagree with them. Look at how how he advised Sheikh Rabee and how gentle he was Sheikh Ubaid initially. He avoids conflict. He has never sought to cause division, but he remains steadfast in defending the truth.
33. Your words, Sheikh, are leading to division, and they are fuelling fitnah, causing confusion and misunderstanding. We will take from some of your goods for these false accusations. You are splitting the Salafi community and pleasing the enemies of Islam by doing so.
34. The truth is clear: those who engage in fitnah, and those who try to manipulate the situation, are dividing the Salafis. They deceive others by spreading falsehoods, accusing others of being agents of fitnah, and yet their own actions reveal their true intentions. The fact is, these divisions are harmful, and you, Sheikh, are contributing to them. If you continue along this path, the consequences of your actions will be severe on the Day of Judgment. You may find yourself inheriting the consequences of the divisions you are causing, and the harm you are spreading will return to you.
35. Those of us who are working to spread the truth, in the face of opposition and challenges, will continue with our work. The Salafi call will remain strong, and those who seek to divide it will only harm themselves in the end.
36. This is merely an explanation of the statement that Sheikh was asked about, and when he raised his voice, it indicates something prior, something he had in his heart that made him explode. The Sheikh should not raise his voice in this manner; rather, he should speak calmly and kindly. You, Sheikh, are a person of knowledge and virtue, and you should possess two qualities beloved by Allah: gentleness and patience. You are a scholar who knows the evidence. This is not the manner of scholars, and this is not how we expect you to behave.
37. By Allah, Sheikh, you are distancing yourself from the Salafi call, although you have a past of good in the Salafi call, and the scholars have praised you for the good that you possess. Do not waste your life for the sake of Muhammad Al-Imam. What has Muhammad Al-Imam done to you for you to praise him in this way, when he possesses what he does of harm and deviations? You cannot tolerate the Sheikh when he came to you in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. You should have sat with him and corrected any misunderstandings. He is a scholar of the Sunnah and loves the Salafi Da‘wah.
38. This distortion is unacceptable from you. By Allah, we do not engage in any personal conflicts. I swear to you, we are only proclaiming the truth and we have every right. The Prophet ﷺ said, when a Bedouin raised his voice before the Prophet ﷺ to demand his rights, "Leave him, for the rightful one has a right." Despite raising his voice, the Prophet ﷺ did not rebuke him, as he spoke the truth. Similarly, we too raise our voices for the sake of truth and goodness. We stand with the truth and call to it.
