Question:
May Allah reward you with good. I am sorry, Shaykh Salih, I said that the question just mentioned was the last one, but a question has come up and I ask your permission to raise it: Who preceded Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab in his call, and who came after him and followed his path?
Answer:
Many preceded him, praise be to Allah, and many came after him, and goodness will remain in this Ummah until the Hour comes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Or as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. So goodness remains, praise be to Allah, and continues. Imams preceded the Shaykh on this madhhab, and this methodology is the methodology of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Companions and the Tabi'un preceded him, his Rightly Guided Caliphs, the four righteous Imams, Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, Imam Ibn Rajab, Imam al-Dhahabi, Imam Ibn Kathir, Imam al-Mizzi, and others besides them; all of them were on the methodology of the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) in calling to Allah and following the righteous Salaf. Those who came after them and before them form a connected chain, praise be to Allah. And after the Shaykh came his grandchildren and his students in this land, and those who benefited from this call in other lands from the callers to pure tawhid (the oneness of Allah); all of them, praise be to Allah, are on the methodology of the righteous Salaf and call to what the Shaykh called to. The Ahl al-Hadith group in India, the Anصار al-Sunnah al-Muhammadiyyah in Egypt and in Sudan and in other lands, all of them care about this matter, the matter of 'aqidah and the matter of tawhid, renewing the correct 'aqidah for the people. Yes.

Answer:
Many preceded him, praise be to Allah, and many came after him, and goodness will remain in this Ummah until the Hour comes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A group from my Ummah will remain manifestly upon the truth, and those who abandon them or oppose them will not harm them until the command of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) comes, and they will be upon that.
لا تزال طائفة من أمتي على الحق ظاهرين لا يضرهم من خذلهم ولا من خالفهم حتى يأتي أمر الله تبارك وتعالى وهم على ذلك،Indeed, Allah will send for this Ummah, at the head of every hundred years, one who will renew its religion for them.
إن الله يبعث لهذه الأمة على رأس مئة كل سنة من يجدد لها دينها.Or as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. So goodness remains, praise be to Allah, and continues.
