I leafed through the book Al-Tanāquḍāt and found nothing in it that warrants a rebuttal; a single-sheet letter reminding him of Allah and the Last Day would have sufficed.
Indeed, it has become clear to me—Allah knows best—that selling or printing this man’s (al-Saqqāf) books is forbidden, for it only spreads innovation and advertises it. The very time spent writing those works is something about which he will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection: how did he expend it? Let him prepare an answer, for the appointment is with Allah, and Allah is the One whose help we seek against what they allege.
Know as well that this man (al-Saqqāf) has several publications: some have already been noted in their places, and others will be mentioned later.
Among those who refuted him is the hadith scholar Shaykh Sulaymān ibn Nāṣir al-ʿAlwān—may Allah cause people to benefit through him—in the following books:
• Ithāf Ahl al-Faḍl wa-l-Inṣāf bi-Naqd Kitāb Dafʿ Shubah al-Tashbīh wa Taʿlīqāt al-Saqqāf (Granting People of Virtue and Fairness a Critique of “Repelling the Allegations of Anthropomorphism” together with al-Saqqāf’s annotations).
• Al-Qawl al-Mubīn fī Ithbāt al-Ṣūrah li-Rabb al-ʿĀlamīn (The Clear Statement Affirming the Form of the Lord of the Worlds).
• Al-Kashshāf ʿan Ḍalālāt Ḥasan al-Saqqāf (The Exposer of Ḥasan al-Saqqāf’s Deviations).(1)
Al-Albānī said the following about al-Saqqāf and his book Al-Tanāquḍāt in Silsilat al-Aḥādīth al-Ṣaḥīḥah (1/15, new edition):
“Second: Al-Tanāquḍāt has absolutely no academic worth. Even if its author is correct in some of the contradictions he claims to have found, all that shows is that al-Albānī is a human being who errs like anyone else. There is therefore no benefit to the readers in listing them—especially since al-Albānī himself states this whenever the occasion arises, as has been mentioned and will be mentioned again.
“Third: What truly benefits readers is to clarify which of those supposed contradictions are accurate. This he has not done, for his aim is merely to quench the rancour in his heart by publicizing al-Albānī’s name, undermining confidence in his knowledge, and turning readers away from benefiting from him: ‘Perish in your rage’ (Āl ʿImrān 3:119). His purpose is not to advise his readers; had that been his intention, he would have exposed his own ignorance and distance from rigorous scholarship….” End of citation.
