Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: I want you, Honorable Shaykh, to correct my understanding of the Abdal, which is that they are righteous men who succeed one another. Is my understanding correct?
Answer:
The Shaykh mentioned this in al-Wasitiyyah when he spoke about the Ummah. He said, "And among them are the Abdal, like whom there were none in the previous nations. They are righteous men, meaning they come one after another; some come after others. Therefore, they are called the Abdal from tabdil (replacement), meaning the earth is never devoid of them. Allah knows best if this is correct. Yes.
