The questioner : This is for knowledge only, O Shaykh: One of our Salafi brothers visitedEid Abbasi : in Ramadan and recorded some tapes with him, and asked him about 'Ali Hasan 'Abd al-Hamid, so he said: I do not know him; perhaps he was young at that time?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : And among the strange things they told us about Damascus is that the Sufis, who harbor hatred for the Salafi call and its callers, did not even spare the dead; they threw filth on the grave of Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him), and they were about to dig up the grave of his Shaykh, Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him). So some of the youth there volunteered and removed that filth from the grave of Ibn al-Qayyim. And even that old Shaykh, Kheir al-Din al-Wanli, they brought down from the pulpit and threw him out of the mosque.
The Shaykh : The Sufis in that country are now cooperating and collaborating with the Ba'athists, as is their constant habit.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This is one of the tragedies of the Sufis in every age. Algeria suffered greatly from the Sufis when the French entered it, and as they say: "The people of Makkah know its valleys best."
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : By Allah, we seek help from Allah.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. I will leave the space for someone else.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and Allah’s mercy and blessings and forgiveness.
The Shaykh: Yes.
