Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some contemporary historians say that Ibn Ghanam (may Allah have mercy on him) exaggerated in describing the state of Najd,
Answer:
because they do not know that Ibn Ghanam witnessed these things and did not hear them from others; rather, they are lying about Ibn Ghanam. The things that exist now are still present in the regions today. Ibn Ghanam witnessed these things and reported on them, whereas you did not see them; you did not see them. This is a suggestion from the tomb-worshippers; they are the ones who say, "You are lying to the people, and nothing happened; the lands are lands of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and lands..." Yes.
