Some Sufi preachers downplay the matter of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and say that most of the Ummah (the Muslim community) are upon tawhid?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some Sufi preachers downplay the value of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and say that most of the Ummah (the Muslim community) are upon tawhid, citing a hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said, "I do not fear shirk (associating partners with Allah) for my Ummah, but rather the misguiding imams," or as it was narrated from him (peace and blessings be upon him). What is the response to that? This is not a hadith. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say, "I do not fear shirk (associating partners with Allah) for my Ummah."

Answer:
Rather, he feared shirk (associating partners with Allah), and therefore he warned his Ummah (the Muslim community) against shirk (associating partners with Allah) with many proofs. If he had not feared shirk (associating partners with Allah) for them, he would not have warned them with many texts and many hadiths against shirk (associating partners with Allah) and against the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah). Shirk (associating partners with Allah) occurs in this Ummah (the Muslim community) as it did in other nations due to the calling of the devils of mankind and jinn (the jinn). This is a reality, and no one denies this reality. Shirk (associating partners with Allah) exists and is abundant now; no one denies it except a fool. Yes. So do not say that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I do not fear shirk (associating partners with Allah) for my Ummah." Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said, " shirk (associating partners with Allah) ." No one is safe from shirk (associating partners with Allah). The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "," even though he was the one who broke the idols and was tormented for that. He feared for himself from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). So no one declares himself pure or feels safe from shirk (associating partners with Allah). Rather, a person fears for himself, especially when shirk (associating partners with Allah) becomes widespread, and the callers to shirk (associating partners with Allah) become numerous, and ignorance becomes prevalent, for then the danger is great. Yes.
