Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it true that Imam al-Shawkani (may Allah have mercy on him) retracted his praise of Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab? He wrote verses.
Answer:
This al-Shawkani, this al-San'ani, this will come up in a little while; you are distorting it. It is al-Shawkani who responded to al-San'ani in this book, and this will come to you, if Allah wills. This is proof that you are not reading.
