الشيخ ربيع بن هادي المدخلي:

قبول النصيحة واتباع الحق من أعظم الواجبات على جميع المسلمين، من أي مصدر كان.

ولا يجوز للمسلم أن يستصغر الناصح الصادق ويزدره مهما كان الأمر
قد تكون حالته.

Shaykh Rabee ibn Hadi Al-Madkhali :


‘Accepting sincere advice and following the truth is one of the greatest obligations upon all of the Muslims, from whichever source it comes from.’

'It is not permissible for a Müslim to belittle and disrespect the sincere adviser regardless what
his status may be.’

Abu Talib al-Makki reported: Sufyan al-Thawri, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “I was deprived of the night prayer for five months because of a sin I committed.” It was said, “What was it?” Sufyan said, “I saw a man weeping and I said to myself: This one is showing off.”

عن أبي طالب المكي قَالَ سفيان الثوري رحمه الله حُرمت قيام الليل خمسة أشهر بذنب أذنبته قيل له ما هو قال رأيت رجلاً بكى فقلت في نفسي هذا مراء
(١/٧٥ )قوت القلوب في معاملة المحبوب

- قال ربيع المدخلي - حفظه الله :

‏لابد أن تتضرر من مجالسة أهل البدع فعندهم حيل و شُبَه و يجرّعوك البدع جرعة جرعة..

وَٱلَّذِینَ یَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبۡ لَنَا مِنۡ أَزۡوَ ٰ⁠جِنَا وَذُرِّیَّـٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعۡیُنࣲ وَٱجۡعَلۡنَا لِلۡمُتَّقِینَ إِمَامًا

And those who say, "Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous."

[Al-Furqaan: 74]

Al-Hasan commented under the verse:

“And there is nothing more pleasing to the eyes of a believer than seeing his loved one in the obedience of Allāh!”

[Sahīh Al-Bukhāri: 6/292]

‎قال الشيخ محمد بن عبدالوهاب رحمه الله: التوحيد اسم لفعلك إن كانت أعمالك كلها لله فأنت موحد، فإن كان فيها شرك للمخلوقين فأنت مشرك

Shaykh Muhammad bin Abdul Al Wahab رحمه الله said: "Tawheed is a name for your action, if all your actions were for Allah alone then you are a Muwahid (monotheist), and if some were for the creation then you’re a Mushrik (polytheist)."

‎[الدرر السنية ١/١٦٨]

“Young people find it easier to grasp the truth than the older ones.”
