In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
The blazing hizbi or those specific hizbiyyoon stated: “Shaykh Saalih bin Sa’d as-Suhaymee said, “Some of them talk to you like if they are Yahya ibn Ma’een (one of the greatest scholars of Islam from the salafi) or Ahmad ibn Hanbal! We see that some students, due to their weak taqwa (fear Allah), have nothing else to do than speaking about people (i.e. speaking about other salafis – laymen, students of knowledge and even scholars). Despite their limited knowledge which they possess. They have appointed themselves as scholars of al-Jarh wat-Ta’deel (criticism and praise)! They have filled the garbage dump (i.e. the internet) with it! By this they have neither caused victory for Islam, nor pulled down (weakened) the disbelievers, nor are they of benefit to the Ummah!”
If this is a statement of Shaikh Saaleh As-Suhaymi, then we simply say to the hizbiyyoon at Markaz Tawheed as follows:
Point 1: One does not have to be Imaam Yahyah Bin Ma’een or Imaam Ahmad to enjoin good and forbid evil. Al-Allaamah Ubaid Bin Abdillaah Al-Jaabiri [may Allaah protect him] said: The one who knows of a mistake and it is clear to him, then it is not permissible for him to blindly follow a scholar to whom an affair is hidden. And indeed you already heard yesterday that the scholars are not infallible in their Ijtihaadaat. Therefore, it is not permissible to adopt them (i.e. the mistakes of the scholars) as a methodology (to follow). A scholar from Ahlus Sunnah is only a human; he can be distracted and forgetful; he can be deceived by evil people; or he used to consider that man to be trustworthy–who has now been declared untrustworthy–and he deceives him. The witnesses to this affair are many, because many of those whose status has been dropped– due to been declared unreliable based on evidence–are in reality people who wage war against the Sunnah and its people. So they come along with copies of their books and read it to the distinguished scholars–those whom virtue and leadership is witnessed for them in the religion–and the affair of this trickster and plotter is hidden from that noble scholar, which had he known about it the status of this person would have dropped in his eyes. So this scholar gives praise based on what he heard. And if the book (of this trickster) is printed, it is disseminated and transmitted by his supporters and they spread a good reputation about him. Thus there are those who argue saying, “such and such praised him–Al-Albaanee (rahimahullaah), or Ibn Baaz (rahimahullaah), or Ibn Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) praised this book. However these scholars are excused; rather this trickster was hidden from that scholar. So, what remains? We establish the evidence against this [deceiver, trickster, intrigant and plotter] from his books. We establish the manifest clarifications against him from his books, and we say to the one who argues with us, “Take it, this is his speech.’’ Therefore, it is obligatory on you to be fair, and to be free from that wild and zealous attachment; and to be free from desires that blind a person. It is obligatory upon you that your search should be for the truth. (1)
Point 2: Speaking against people based on lies is what is blameworthy but not when evil is warned against with clear proofs. All the people spoken against and abandoned are guilty of that which warranted such warning, such as the likes of Al-Halabi, Al-Maribi, Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli, Yahyah Al-Hajuri, Saalim At-Taweel and their ilk.

As for Tahir Whytt, read the series: Tahir Wyatt, Shadeed Muhammad and the ‘Nation of Islam’:
However, despite all that has been presented above, the blazing hizbiyyoon still cling to the statement: “They have appointed themselves as scholars of al-Jarh wat-Ta’deel (criticism and praise)! They have filled the garbage dump (i.e. the internet) with it! By this they have neither caused victory for Islam, nor pulled down (weakened) the disbelievers, nor are they of benefit to the Ummah!” So, we say to them, “Were Salafipublications filling the garbage dump when they exposed Tahir and his ilk, or is it that Tahir is the one with a manhaj resembling a garbage dump?!” As for the statement, “By this they have neither cause victory for Islaam….”, we say to them, “Here is a gift for you O blazing hizbiyyoon: Shaikh Rabee’s Advice on Dealing with Ahlul-Bid’ah in the West and the affair of Al-Mawāzanāt: https://abukhadeejah.com/shaikh-rabees-advice-on-interacting-with-ahlul-bidah-in-the-west/
