May be this will shed some light... Sharing this link so that others can see upto what extent can someone go to insult ahle-bayt http://wahabismexposed.blogspot.com/...chief-ibn.html Ibn Taymiyyah Hatred towards Sahabas (ra) and Hadrat Ali (ra) Minhaj al-Sunnah, Volume 3 page 53: فإنه لما أمرهم بقيام الليل فاعتل علي رضي الله عنه بالقدر وأنه لو شاء الله لأيقظنا علم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن هذا ليس فيه إلا مجرد الجدل الذي ليس بحق فقال وكان الإنسان أكثر شيء جدلا. "When he (the Prophet) ordered them to offer the night prayer, Ali [ra] came up with the prepared excuse that ‘if Allah wants he will wake us up’, the prophet realized that this was merely an argument that was not right, therefore he recited {but man is more than anything contentious}". Minhaj al-Sunnah, Volume 8 page 161: وعلي قد اختلف فيه هل حفظ القرآن كله أم لا “Ali, there is disagreement about him as to whether he had memorized the whole Quran or not.” Minhaj al-Sunnah, Volume 6 page 67: ولم يحصل بقتلهم مصلحة للمسلمين لا في دينهم ولا في دنياهم بل نقص الخير عما كان وزاد الشر “Their fighting served no benefit for the Muslims in their religion nor in their life, on the contrary the good had been decreased and the evil had been increased.” Minhaj al-Sunnah, Volume 4 page 20: قوله في على إنه كان يصلي الف ركعة فإن هذا لا فضيلة فيه “His (Allamah Heli’s) statement that Ali would pray one thousand raka, surely there is no virtue in it” ibne hajar asqalani on sheikh ul kufr ibn taymiya in Lisan al-Mizan, by ibn Hajar, Volume 6, page 320: وكم من مبالغة لتوهين كلام الرافضي أدته أحيانا إلى تنقيص علي رضي الله عنه "The exaggeration in refuting the Rafidhi text has sometimes taken him to towards belittling Ali [ra]" So ibn taymeyyah was a proved nasibi who had hatred of ahle baet in his heart Sunni scholar from Morocco Hafiz Ahmad bin Sidiq (d. 1354 H) records in 'Fath al-Malik al-Ali' page 109: "The extremist Nawasib such as ibn Taimiyah and whoever is similar to him." Allamah Hasan bin Ali al-Saqqaf (born in 1961) is a contemporary Sunni scholar of modern day. He is the chief of Imam Nawawi center in Jordan. Allamah Saqqaf in the margin of the book 'Sahih Sharh Aqida Tahawya' page 651 states: "From those who followed the path of Bani Ummaya and practiced Nasb against Ali, Lady Fatima, Alulbayt and assaulting them is Ibn Taimiyah al-Harani and his Nasibi companions." Ibn Taimiyah's proud testimony that Ahle Sunnah don't follow Ali bin Abi Talib [as] Ibn Taimiyah who is known for having a grudge against Ali bin Abi Talib [as] proudly claims that none of the Sunni jurists attained teachings from Imam Ali [as]. None of the four imams nor the other of the jurists refer to him (Ali) in their jurisprudence. Verily if Malik's knowledge was obtained from the people of Madina, the people of Madina did not take Ali's statements. They took their jurisprudence from the seven jurists, Zaid, Umar, ibn Umar and so on. Shafiyee obtained jurisprudence from the people of Makka, the companions of Ibn Juraij like Saeed bin Salem al-Qadah and Muslim bin khalid al-Zenji. Ibn Juraij obtained knowledge from the companions of Ibn Abbas, like Atta and others. Verily Ibn Abbas was an independent mujtahid. Whenever he gives fatwa, according to the Sahabas, he would give the fatwa of Abu Bakr and Umar, not Ali's. He disagreed with Ali on few things. online source http://arabic.islamicweb.com/Books/t...ok=365&id=3833 see how much chief of Nasibi and khawarije this person was Ibn Taymiyyah was ignorant in ranks of Sahaba. He said: بذلك على أن علياً أعلم من معاذ بن جبل جاهل Translation: Whosoever consider Ali (ra) a greater scholar than Muadh bin Jabal (ra) is “JAHIL” [Majmua al Fatawa, Volume No.4, Page No. 410]AstaghfirUllah !!!! Ibn Taimiyah’s views of Sayyida Fatima Zahra (r.a) Minhaj al-Sunnah, Volume 5 page 522: فإن أبا بكر إمام لا يتصرف لنفسه بل للمسلمين ، والمال لم يأخذه لنفسه بل للمسلمين ، وفاطمة تطلب لنفسها Verily Abu Bakr is an Imam who did not act for himself but for the Muslims and as for the money, he did not take it for himself but for the Muslims whilst Fatima was demanding it for herself. Ibn Taimiyah’s views of Sayyida Fatima Zahra (r.a) Minhaj al-Sunnah, Volume 4 page 132: أو ليس الله قد ذم المنافقين الذين قال فيهم ومنهم من يلمزك في الصدقات فإن أعطوا منها ورضا وإن لم يعطوا منها إذا هم يسخطون ولو نهم رضوا ما اتاهم الله ورسوله وقالوا حسبنا الله سيوتينا الله من فضله ورسوله إنا إلى الله راغبون فذكر الله قوما رضوا إن اعطوا وغضبوا إن لم يعطوا فذمهم بذلك Hasn’t Allah (swt) condemned the hypocrites those who said about them {And of them is he who defameth thee in the matter of the alms. If they are given thereof they are content, and if they are not given thereof, behold! they are enraged. If only they had been content with what Allah and His Messenger gave them, and had said, "Sufficient unto us is Allah! Allah and His Messenger will soon give us of His bounty to Allah do we turn our hopes} Allah mentioned people that if they are given they will be pleased, but if they are not given they get angry, and Allah condemned them. . Ibn Taimiyah’s views of Sayyida Fatima Zahra (r.a) . . Such blasphemy lead to Sunni scholar Mahmoud Subaih in his book Akhta ibn Taimiyah, page 63 commenting: خطأ جسيم لابن تيمية لا يغتفر إلا إذا تاب منه قبل رحيله وهو تشبيهه غضب السيدة فاطمة الزهراء رضي الله عنها من الصديق رضي الله عنه بغضب المنافقين A huge mistake by Ibn Taimiyah that is unforgivable, unless he repented prior to death, was his likening the anger of Lady Fatima az-Zahra (may Allah be pleased with) towards as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with) with the anger of hypocrites. May Allah curse you ibn taymeyya for attacking Ahle baet and your Wahabi Nejde followers of today who do the same . Ibn Taimiyah attack on Imam jafar sadiq of Ahlulbayt (r.a) . in Minhaj al Sunnah, Volume 7 page 533 "These four Imams, no one of them took any thing related to jurisprudence from Jaffar." online source http://arabic.islamicweb.com/Books/t...ok=365&id=3837 Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, said ابن تيمية عبد خذله الله وأضله وأعماه وأصمه وأذله ، وبذلك صرح الأئمة الذين بينوا فساد أحواله وكذب أقواله. “Ibn Taimiyah, Allah (swt) let him down, misguided him, made him blind, deaf and disgraced him, and by that the Imams both declared and exposed his false beliefs and lies.” ( Al-Fatawa al-Hadithya Pg 114) Ali bin Abdulkafi al-Subki al-Shafiyee (d. 756 H) أحدث ابن تيمية ما أحدث في أصول العقائد ونقض من دعائم الإسلام الأركان والمعاقد بعد أن كان مستترا بتبعية الكتاب والسنة مظهرا أنه داع إلى الحق هاد إلى الجنة فخرج عن الاتباع إلى الابتداع وشذ عن جماعة المسلمين بمخالفة الاجماع . “When Ibn Taimiyah caused what he caused in ideology and abolished the pillars of Islam after which he pretended to be an adherent of the Book and Sunnah, and pretended that he was an advocate for truth and guiding others to heaven, he went astray and (went) towards originating a heresy, and became odd by contradicting the Ijma of Muslims.” ( in Al-Dura al-Mudhia, al-Subki page 5) in a book Al-Tawfiq al-Rabani written by a group of Sunni scholars, page 32: علمه أكثر من عقله فأداه اجتهاده إلى خرق الاجماع في مسائل كثيرة قيل انها تبلغ ستين مسألة فأخذته الألسنة بسبب ذلك وتطرق إليه اللوم وامتحن بهذا السبب وأسرع علماء عصره في الرد عليه وتخطئته وتبديعه ومات مسجونا بسبب ذلك. . . Sheikh Iraqi said ... his knowledge exceeded the capabilities of his brain, and he therefore contradicted the 'Ijma' of Muslims on many issues. They said on around 60 matters. They therefore criticized and blamed him, and he has been examined due to that. The scholars of his time refuted him, presented his mistakes, and deemed him a heretic. He was also imprisoned due to that.” __________________ The Amount of hatred Ibn Taimiyah used to show towards Ahl e Bait (ra) He went to the Lowest Level to prove it, Especially towards Ali (ra), Against Ali (ra) He forged references from Imams to prove no one likes him.(Astagfirullah)Ibn Taimiyah write: و الجواب أن هذا كذب بين فليس في الأئمة الأربعة و لا غيرهم من أئمة الفقهاء من يرجع إليه في فقهه أما مالك فان علمه عن أهل المدينة و أهل المدينة لا يكادون يأخذون بقول علي بل اخذوا فقههم عن الفقهاء السبعة عن زيد و عمر و ابن عمر و نحوهمأما الشافعي فانه تفقه أولا على المكيين أصحاب ابن جريج كسعيد بن سالم القداح و مسلم بن خالد الزنجي و ابن جريج اخذ ذلك عن أصحاب ابن عباس كعطاء و غيره و ابن عباس كان مجتهدا مستقلا و كان إذا أفتى بقول الصحابة أفتى بقول أبي بكر و عمر لا بقول علي و كان ينكر على علي أشياء Translation: None of the four imams nor the other of the jurists refer to him (Ali) in their jurisprudence. Verily if Malik's knowledge was obtained from the people of Madina, the people of Madina did not take Ali's statements. They took their jurisprudence from the seven jurists, Zaid, Umar, ibn Umar and so on. Shafi'I obtained jurisprudence from the people of Makka, the companions of Ibn Juraij like Saeed bin Salem al-Qadah and Muslim bin khalid al-Zenji. Ibn Juraij obtained knowledge from the companions of Ibn Abbas, like Atta and others. Verily Ibn Abbas was an independent mujtahid. he never he gives fatwa, according to the Sahabas, he would give the fatwa of Abu Bakr and Umar, not Ali's. He disagreed with Ali on few things.

[Akhta ibn Taimiyah, Page No 63] Is comparing the action Sayyida Zahra (ra) to that of a hypocrite evidence of his love for this blessed lady? Is this how Shiekh ul Islam showed his love or the Ahl’ul bayt (ra)? Calling any Muslim a munafiq without basis is a sin, and he attributes such signs to the daughter of the Prophet (saww)!
