Is there partisanship in the methodology of the righteous Salaf in calling to Allah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He asks, is there partisanship in the methodology of the righteous Salaf in calling to Allah?
The Shaykh: This is also a question that attaches to its asker, because he clings to the word "partisanship." Partisanship, in terms of its meaning, is neither praised nor blamed; rather, the praise and blame fall upon the one for whom one is partisan. If the partisanship is for the truth, it is a praiseworthy matter, and if the partisanship is for error, it is a blameworthy matter. So, if the methodology of the righteous Salaf is a matter that is necessary for the Muslim to adhere to in order to be guided by his Lord, as we mentioned earlier, is the one who clings to this and is partisan to it to be blamed? The Muslim, without doubt, generally is partisan to his religion against the other religions that have deviated from the true call of Allah. Is this a blame? No, this is praise. Therefore, I also think that this came from his misunderstanding of the word "partisanship," just as he misunderstood the word "Salaf." Yes.
