The second edition of The Doctrine of Ahl al-Sunna Versus the "Salafi" Movement, this book will be useful to those into whose heart the innovations of the 'Salafis' has not entered. As for the 'Salafis', it will never enter their hearts as, according to the hadith related by Bukhari, "They will pass through the religion the way an arrow passes through its quarry and the will never come back to it.'"

Shaykh Taher Sunbuli al-Hanafi, Sima al-intisar li al-awliya' al-abrar [The Mark of Victory Belongs to the Pure Friends of Allah]

The name of Khawarij is applied to those who part ways with the Muslims and declare them disbelievers, as took place in our time with the followers of ibn Abd al-Wahhab who came out of Najd and attacked the Two Noble Sanctuaries (al-Haramayn ash-Sharifayn). They (Wahabbis) claimed to follow the Hanbali school, but their belief was such that, in their view, they alone are Muslims and everyone else is a mushrik (polytheist). Under this guise, they said that killing Ahl as-Sunnah wa 'l-Jama ah and their scholars was permissible."
