Are Salafi and Hanbali the same. I thought Hanbalis were followers of the Madhab of Imam Ahmed (ra) and Salafi/Wahhabi were a comparatively recent sect that sprouted, with some things in common with the Hanbalis. Or are they the same? I don't know, Can you shed some light on this.

Salam Aleykum,

Most Salafis start out as Hanbali and many Hanbalis are influenced by Salafis but I've read more than one quote by Ibn Hanbal and he himself was not a big fan of Taqleed.

As for Ahlul-Hadith "Salafis" they are not new they've been there since 200 or 300 A.H or maybe even before that. What is new are the Salafi parties such as "Al-Hizb al-Salafi" in Lebanon.
