Abu Muhammad Al-Maghribi CLARIFIES his resignation @ Masjid Rahmah Newark New Jersey USA

[dkSadiq.ibn.Owodunni]

assalaamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh,

Jazaakumullaahu khayraa for your posts. Brother Abu Lubaynah mentioned above:

...However, Shaykh Falaah Bin Ismaa'eel Al-Mundikaar, Shaykh Rabee' Bin Haadee Al-Madhkhalee & Shaykh Ubayd Al-Jaabiree, Shaykh Muhammad bin Haadee (and maybe more) have spoken concerning this matter with detailed disparagement.

This is in line with the earlier advice of Shaykh Rabee' (may Allah preserve him and reward him for his advice & naseehah to his brothers and children) especially this quote:

"This is my stance and the stance of Shaykh 'Ubayd al-Jaabiree and Shaykh Falaah Ismaa'eel and others from the Mashaayikh concering what has taken place of recent in America in opposition to some of the Mashaayikh in al-Madeenah who are not aware of his [Tahir Wyatt's] situation."

Also, as brother Abu Lubaynah further mentioned:

With all this additional information, where does this leave the general praise....?

brothers should remember the principle that Jarh Mufassal (detailed criticism) takes precedence over general praise as Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Umar Baazmool (حفظه الله) mentions in the first post in this thread (via SalafiTalk.net):

the principle is that the one making the jarh [mufassil] (the jaarih) is given precedence over the one making the ta'deel (the mu'addil)

He then explains:

If a narrator from the narrators of hadeeth was declared trustworthy by Imaam Ahmad bin Hanbal and a person who was less than Imaam Ahmad bin Hanbal made jarh of him with a jarh mufassar [detailed criticism] ... what is correct is that you accept the words of one who makes Jarh... because the one who makes the jarh has additional knowledge with him, he has additional knowledge.

Hence, we say, in the application of this principle the jarh is given precedence over the ta'deel.
