A Clarification from Shaykh ’Ubayd Ibn ’Abdullaah al-Jaabiree – may Allaah preserve him – Concerning what was Spread by Aboo Muhammad Naadir al-Jamaykee

This is the text sent out by Aboo Muhammad al-Jamaykee and it entails what follows:

“Salaam Alaikum Shaykh, I wanted to inform you that Shaykh Ubayd after Abdur Razzaq visited him, he agreed to teach a class for the seminar and also a class once a month at masjid ahlil Hadeeth. I am sending you this text to show the trickery of our salafee brothers, please inform the brothers, the non speakers who were present in that meeting of deception, may (Allah) rectify our affairs Ameen. You have my permission to send this to anyone you please” Abu Muhammad Nadir ibn Uzaer al Jamaky.

Shaykh ’Ubayd: In the name of Allaah, all praises are for Allaah and may His prayers and salutations be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and all of his followers, as to proceed:

Perhaps the individual known as Naadir al-Jamaykee, whose kunyah is Aboo Muhammad intends by this text the meeting that was attended by Aboo Muhammad Ridwaan al-Maghribee, Hasan Ibn Husayn as-Somali and brother Anwar al-Amreekee. The summary of what occurred in that meeting is that the aforementioned brothers, and they are known to me to be upon Salafiyyah and being steadfast upon the Sunnah and calling to Allaah the High and Exalted, we deem them to be upon this and Allaah is their Reckoner. They requested from me advice and guidance in some affairs, so we gave them direction to that which was suitable for their situation and to that which will fulfill my responsibility (before Allaah), and this is what the meeting concluded upon. Likewise, I do not remember the date of the meeting, but I am certain it was last year, so this is the first matter.

The second matter is, there never occurred between me and our brother ’Abdur-Razzaaq a definitive promise (as regards to the lectures and classes), however between us was an appointment, under the condition of Allaah willing, for that. He requested from me to give a talk at a seminar being held in a few months and he requested from me a monthly lesson, so I said to him, “Inshaa‘ Allaah”. Here is an indication of Allaah willing that to occur, and it was not something definitive; perhaps I may fulfill that or perhaps I may not be able to. And our brother ’Abdur-Razzaaq is from our sons and is a graduate of the Islaamic University (of al-Madeenah).

The third matter is regarding the statement of Aboo Muhammad Naadir al-Jamaykee, “deception.” I do not know what he intends by this. So if he is calling that meeting and what occurred in it between me and the brothers Hasan as-Somali, Anwar al-Amreekee and Aboo Muhammad al-Maghribee deception, we request that he brings his proof, and if he cannot do so then he is a liar in that which he said. Also, this man is unknown to me (majhool). I remember that he called me once or twice many years ago, but there was never a relationship between him and I, so he made a judgement from mere conjecture and he fabricated against us and the brothers in that meeting what we did not say, not me or them! Because in it there was no mention of anyone specific to me, rather it was only that those aforementioned brothers sought my advice and I gave them my advice and direction regarding some matters which the affair of da’wah requires. May Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and all of his followers.

Dictated by ’Ubayd Ibn ’Abdillaah Ibn Sulaymaan al-Jaabiree, former teacher in the Islaamic University of al-Madeenah, Saturday after Maghrib, 3rd of Jumaadaa al-Aakhirah 1434H, corresponding to the 13th of April 2013CE.
