Answer:
The sons of Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab: ‘Abdullah, ‘Ali, and Ibrahim. These are the Shaykh’s sons. I think the eldest is ‘Ali, because (may Allah have mercy on him) he was known as Abu ‘Ali. The eldest is ‘Ali, then ‘Abdullah, then Ibrahim, and then I think Husayn, and al-Hasan. Yes, al-Hasan, who is Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Hasan. Al-Hasan and Husayn, yes.
