REGARDING
As for Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul Wahhab al-Najdi, then indeed he was an idiotic man of little knowledge, thus he would be hasty in making takfir. Diving into this river (of takfir) is not appropriate except for the one who is cautious upon, proficient in, and well-acquainted with the existence of disbelief and it’s causes. [1]
ويقول ايضا في كتابه ( فيض الباري ، 1/171 ) : ( أما محمد بن عبدالوهاب النجدي فإنه كان رجلاً بليداً قليل العلم ، فكان يتسارع إلى الحكم بالكفر ، ولا ينبغي أن يقتحم في هذا الوادي إلا من يكون متيقظاً متقناً عارفاً بوجوه الكفر وأسبابه ).

Which says Quote:
which was signed by over
Ibn Abd Al Wahab al Najdi as mentioned in Durrul Mukhtar.
Now official fatwa from Deoband has accepted the aqida and approach of Ibn Abdal Wahab Njdi as correct. Here Deobandis are going against their own book, Al Muhannad.
This proves that Al Muhannad was written by Deobandis only to get it signed by Sunni Aarb scholars.
Al-Muhannad, the
book of beliefs of the ulama of Deoband, on page
12,
contains the following question and answer:
"Question
number 12:
Muhammad Ibne Abdul Wahaab held the view that shedding the blood of
Musalmaans and taking away their property and defiling their honour,
all these things were lawful. He also termed them idolaters. He was
insolent towards the elders. What is your view of him? And do you
(think calling the Ahle Qiblah as infidels is a lawful act? Or do you
think that he who does these things belongs to a legitimate
sect?
Answer: In
our view (Please
note: OUR VIEW (not My view) and Al Muhanned was signed by
leading scholars of deoband school of thought) the
same verdict applies to
them as has been given by the writer of Durr-e-Mukhtaar. And Khawarij
are a band of people who waged war against the Imam because they
thought him to be guilty of falsehood, that is, idolatry, which
justified waging war. For this reason they take the taking of our
lives and our property and making our women captives to be lawful. He
further held that they were rebels. He also held that they did not
Describe them as infidels because this was a matter of
interpretation, though a faulty one. And Allamah Shaami, in his
marginal notes on the book, has said, "Like it happened in our
times when the followers of Ibne Abdul Wahaab sallying forth from
Najd overwhelmed Haramain Shareefain. They described themselves as
belonging to Hambali creed, but it was their belief that only they
were Musalmaans and whoever was against their belief was an idolater
and, so, they justified the killing of the Ahle Sunnat and the ulama
of the Ahle Sunnat until Almighty Allah deprived them of their
ascendancy."
Hussein
Ahmad Sahib Tandvi Madni says: "Gentlemen'
Muhammad Ibne Abdul Wahaab appeared in the Najd in the 13th century
A.H., and, because he harboured evil thoughts and held wrong beliefs,
he waged war on the Ahl-e-Sunnat Wall Jama'at, sought to force his
evil thoughts upon them and considered lawful seizing of their
properties as the spoils of war, and killing them, and considered all
these acts to bring blessings. He was harsh on the people of the
Haramain (Makkah and Madinah) in particular and on the people of the
Hijaaz in general. He used most foul language against the pious men
of the earlier generations. Because of the atrocities committed by
him on them, countless people had to flee the holy cities of Makkah
and Madinah, and many of them were martyred by his troops. In short,
he was a tyrant, a rebel and an altogether evil
person." (Ash-Shahaubus
Saaqib, Page 42)
"Muhammad
Ibne Abdul Wahaab believed that people all over the world and all
Muslims were polytheists and infidels. (Page
44)
The
Najdis believed, and his followers still believe, that the lives of
Prophets (Alihumus Salaam) were limited to the times during which
they lived upon this earth. Thereafter, in death, they and other
faithfuls are equal.
(Page 45)
This
group holds that having a vision of the blessed Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaihi Wasallam) and visits to his blessed tomb are bad innovations
and unlawful. He also holds as unlawful even journeying in that
direction for this purpose. According to some of them, even
journeying for the sake of paying a visit to the blessed tomb is like
committing fornication. May Allah save us from such evil
thoughts! (Page
45)
The
Wahaabis use most insolent language in respect of Prophethood and the
person of the holy Prophet himself (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam)
and, in their insolence, claim to be the equals of the personality of
the holy Prophet, and, according to them, only a little benefit
accrued from him during the times he was preaching the Messages of
Allah, and no benefits flowed from him after his passing away. And
because they think so, they consider as unlawful praying for Allah's
forgiveness through his intercession. Their elders also said that
praying for Allah's forgiveness through his intercession was
unlawful. (May Allah save us from having such thoughts)! But,
perhaps, it may be permissible to reproduce such thoughts, for merely
reproducing blaspheming words does not by itself constitute
blasphemy). They also said that the staff in a man's hand was of
greater advantage to him than the glorious personality of the king of
the universe (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam), for with a staff in his
hand one can defend himself from a dog while the personality of the
pride of the universe (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) cannot do even
this much for him. (Page
47)
The
Wahaabis are against performing mystic rites and sophistic
practices-meditating, engaging in the remembrance of Allah and
thinking about Him, owing allegiance to spiritual guides and the
whole system of spiritual guides, and having a mental rapport with
the spiritual guides, believing in the doctrine of annihilation and
permanent life etc. etc In their view, al' such things are of no
consequence, bad innovations and demeaning. (Page
59, Ash-Shahaubus Saaqib)
In
Wahaabi belief, following any particular Imam is considered to be
blasphemy against the Prophet, and they use wretched and wicked words
for the four Imams and their followers, and thus they are alienated
from the Ahl-e-Sunnat-Wa-Jama'at and so the non-emulators of India
belong to this wicked group. While they claimed to be Hanbalee when
they first appeared on the scene, but in many matters they do not
follow Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal (Alaihir Rahmah) (Page
62, Ash-Shahaabus Saaqib).
Through
verses Ar-Rahmaanu 'Alal 'Arshis Tawa etc, the Wahaabis try to prove
that Allah physically occupies a throne and also make out His
dimensions and, therefore, His bodily presence. (Page
24, Ash-Shahaabus-Saaqib)
The
Wahaabis of Arabia have often been heard to harshly denounce the
expression, "As Salaatu was Salaamu Alaika ya Rasoolal Laah"
(Peace and salutation to you, O Allah's Messenger)", and most
scathingly condemn and ridicule its use, and hurl most unbecoming
language against the people of the Haramain who use such an
expression.(Page 65, Ash-Shahaabus-Saaqib)
The
wicked Wahaabis harshly denounce sending repeatedly peace and
salutation on the mercy to the worlds, and consider reciting
Dalaa'ilul Khairuat, Qaseedah Burdah and Qassedah Hamziyah and such
like as most detestable and unwarranted. They also consider some
couplets of Qaseedah Burdah to be downright blasphemous, as for
example the couplet:
Ya Ashrafal Khalqi Maali Man
Aloozu Bihi Siwaaka Inda Huloolil Haadisil 'Amami
(O. the
best of creations! I have no one To look up to in perilous times like
these) (Page 66, Ash Shahaabus Saaqib)
Except
for the knowledge by him of Allah's commands, the Wahaabis think the
personality of the Last of the Prophets (Alaihis Salaatu Was Salaam)
to be devoid of all hidden and true knowledge. (Page
62, Ash-Shahaabus Saaqib)
The Wahaabis consider the narration of the birth of the king of the universe (Alaihis-Salaatu-Was-Salaam) itself to be a most reprehensible act and a very bad innovation". (Page 67, Ash-Shahaabus Saaqib)
Anwar Shah Kashmiri writes in Fayd al Bari , Vol 1 "Muhammad ibn `Abd al Wahab Najdi, and indeed he was a stupid man with little knowledge."
