This is Mufti Taqi's personal opinion and it does not reflect the opinion of numerous Ash'aris of today, such as Zahid al-Kawthari, who was the person I was referring to, and who is called 'Allama' by many despite his takfeer of the great scholars of the past. Can you read Arabic? Read his Maqalat, pages 251-252 for the accusation of Wathaniyya against Imam Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Hanbal. The passage is very unambiguous. The rest of the quotes are referenced excellently in the index of Shams al-Afghani's book on the Maturidis.
