Is there a type of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) called tawhid al-mutaba'ah (the oneness of following)?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is there a tawhid called tawhid al-mutaba'ah, and what is the evidence for it, if it exists?

Answer:
There is no tawhid called tawhid al-mutaba'ah. What is well-known among the scholars is that tawhid has three types: tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship), tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship), and tawhid al-asma' wa al-sifat (oneness of the names and attributes). Some say tawhid has two types: tawhid al-rububiyyah and tawhid al-uluhiyyah, and tawhid al-asma' wa al-sifat is included in tawhid al-rububiyyah, as Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in Madarij al-Salikin and other works.
As for following, it is obligatory to follow the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), but it is not included in tawhid. This is because the opposite of tawhid is shirk (associating partners with Allah), while the opposite of following is bid'ah (religious innovation). One who does not follow the Messenger is not called a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah); he is called a mubtadi' (innovator), a mubtadi'.
And the deed has two conditions. The first condition is tawhid and ikhlas (sincerity of intention). The second condition is following. Following is independent of tawhid. Yes.
