As-Sayyid Ahmad ibn Zaini Dahlan (rahmat-Allahi alaihi), Mufti of the blessed city of Mecca, described under the topic Al-fitnat al-Wahhabiyya the tenets of Wahhabism and the tortures the Wahhabis inflicted upon Muslims? [Al-futuhat al-Islamiyya, second volume, page 228, Cairo, 1387 (1968); photo-offset reproduction of a comparable part, Istanbul, 1395 (1975).] He wrote: To deceive the ulama of Ahl as-Sunnat in Mecca and Medina, they sent their men to these cities, but these men could not answer the questions of the Muslim ulama. It became evident that they were ignorant heretics. A verdict declaring them disbelievers was written and distributed everywhere. Sharif Masud ibn Said, Amir of Mecca, ordered that the Wahhabis should be imprisoned. Some Wahhabis fled to Dariyya and recounted what had happened to them. [Al-futuhat al-Islamiyya, second volume, page 234, Cairo, 1387 (1968); photo-offset reproduction of a comparable part, Istanbul, 1395 (1975).] The ulama of the Hijaz belonging to all the four madhhabs, including Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhabs brother Sulaiman and also his teachers who had trained him, studied Muhammads books, prepared answers to his disunionist writings, which were destructive to Islam, and wrote, to call to the attention of Muslims, well-documented books in refutation to his heretical writings. [See above article 5, for the passage translated from Sulaiman ibn Abd al-Wahhabs work As-Sawaiq al-ilahiyya fir-raddi alal-wahhabiyya; first published in 1306; second edition (reproduced by photo-offset) in Istanbul in 1395 (1975).]
