The Salafī Way of Advising vs. The Way of the Devils

In the Name of Allāh, the Ever Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy

The Salafī Way of Advising vs. The Way of the Devils

Imām Rabīʿ bin Hādī al-Madkhalī (رحمه الله) said

“If your brother makes a mistake, then advise him gently and present to him evidence and proof; Allāh may benefit him through that. But as for you sitting and waiting for so-and-so to make a mistake (lurking for a slip, hunting for an opportunity to pounce) and then spreading it here and there saying that so-and-so did this and that, then these are the ways of the shayāṭīn (devils) and not the ways of the Salafīs.”
