Yahya Al-Hajuri's Lie Upon the Book of Allaah: Fir'awn and the Mushriks Called to tawhid Al-Ruboobiyyah

Refer to this page for citations. In his cassette (Tabyeen al-Kadhib wal-Meen) he said:

نعم توحيد الربوبية قد دعا إليه فرعون (واستيقنتها أنفسهم ظلماً وعلوا) نعم وإبليس(فانظرني إلى يوم يبعثون) والمشركون أيضا (ولئن سألتهم من خلق السموات والأرضليقولن الله قل أفرأيتم ما تدعون من دون الله إن أرادني الله بضر هل هن كاشفات ضره) ، فالشاهد من هذا , وقد قال هذا صاحب فتح المجيد,وقاله جميع أهل السنة إن توحيدالربوبية دعا إليه المشركون ما كانوا يجهلونه, الأدلة على ذلك كثيرة أنهم كانوايدعون إلى توحيد الربوبية

Yes, tawhid al-Ruboobiyyah, Fir'awn called to it, "And they belied them (the signs) wrongfully and arrogantly though their ownselves were convinced thereof" (27:14), yes and also Iblees, "He said: "O my Lord! Give me then respite till the Day they (the dead) will be resurrected." (15:36), and the Mushriks also, "And verily, if you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth?" Surely, they will say: "Allaah (has created them)." Say: "Tell me then, the things that you invoke besides Allaah, if Allah intended some harm for me, could they remove His harm" (39:38). So the point of evidence from this, and the author of Fath al-Majeed has said this, as has been said by all of Ahl al-Sunnah, that the Mushriks called to tawhid al-Ruboobiyyah, they were not ignorant of it, the evidences for this are very many, that they use to call to tawhid al-Ruboobiyyah.

In the above statement, al-Hajuri, repeats, three times in the same passage, the word (دعا), "called to" claiming that Fir'awn, Iblees and the Mushriks of Makkah, called to tawhid al-Ruboobiyyah. And then he attributed this Abd al-Rahmaan bin Hasan Aal al-Shaykh, the author of Fath al-Majeed, and he ascribes it to all of Ahl al-Sunnah. In response, the followers of al-Hajuri have claimed that he made a slip of the tongue and that allegedly he later stated that the Mushriks affirmed (made iqraar) of tawhid al-Ruboobiyyah. Despite this claim however, a slip of the tongue is when a word comes out wrongly in one instance. When you repeat the same phrase three times in the same passage, that's not a slip of the tongue, but an expression of a faulty understanding in the mind, even if at the same time, we can accept that this was a slip, a slip in understanding that is. The real question here then is this: Can you trust a man who makes slips which are the likes of these slips? Fir'awn, Iblees, Abu Jahl, Abu Lahab and the heads of the Mushriks called (made da'wah) to tawhid al-Ruboobiyyah? Deeply-grounded scholars do not make these "slips." This requires a clear open recantation and tawbah because it amounts to a lie upon Allaah, the Sublime, since Fir'awn claimed Ruboobiyyah for himself, (فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَى), "Saying: I am your lord most high" (89:24), he wasn't making da'wah to tawhid al-Ruboobiyyah. If we are generous and accept Yahya al-Hajuri made a slip of the tongue, then this is a type of a slip that indicates deficiency in understanding in tawhid, since it was repeated three times and it was ascribed to Ahl al-Sunnah. It is not like when a person intends one word and another comes out, happening in one instance, then he realizes. Here we see it emanating out of an erroneous understanding in the mind. So the point is, is this the type of person you want to be taking knowledge from when the likes of this "slip in understanding" emanates from his mouth?
