Sulaiman Ibn Abdul Wahhab (d.1794) begins “The

Divine Lightning” with the conditions of a qualified
Imam as established by scholars before him.

He uses this in his opening response to his younger

brother’s invitation to his sect, to remind MIAW of his
status as a layman.
Imam Sulaiman Ibn Abdul Wahhab warns his brother:

"It is not permissible for the one making taqlid

(layman) to declare someone an unbeliever in a
matter where no previous consensus has been made
by the Ummah".

MIAW's conquests of mass Takfirs was condemned by

all Sunni ulema.
(Briefly)

Father:
Abdul Wahhab - Great Hanbali scholar of the Najd;
master of fiqu, Qur'anic commentary, tasawwuf, and
theology.

Brother:
Sulaiman - Grand Hanbali theologian, "Sheikh ul-
Islam"; master of ALL 18 sciences of Sharia.

M. Ibn Abdul Wahhab:

Zero qualifications.

SCHOLARLY RANKINGS IN ISLAM

...As defined by classical Hanbali scholars. Some

ulema list variations of these categories but this gives
a rough idea about how authority in Islam works.

By all measures, and by admission of his own brother,

MIAW was in the 7th category: "Laity".
Qadi of the Hanbalis, scholar and historian,
Muhammad ibn Humaid al-Najdi [d. 1878], records in
his ‘Suhub al-Wabila’ that Ibn Abdul Wahhab was a
DECEPTIVE, MURDEROUS TAKFĪRI who led an
EVIL movement.

Fine way to go down in the OFFICIAL

BIOGRAPHICAL WORKS of your own school.
The Hanbalis preserved their scholarly history. These
texts are official in-house records which detail the lives
and contributions of Hanbali ulema (who, in total,
amount to some 3/400,000 individuals.) This is the
who's who of the Hanbalis. Salafi scholars don't make
the cut.
This text, “al-Suhub al-Wabila 'ala Dhara`ih al-
Ḥanābilah” is a continuation of Imam Ibn Rajab's
(d.1393) “Dhayl 'ala Ṭabaqāt al-Ḥanābilah”, which is a
continuation of Ibn Abi Ya'la’s (d.1131) “Ṭabaqāt al-
Ḥanābilah” which starts from the life of Imam Ahmad
ibn Hanbal
