al-Tanbīhāt ʿalā Risālat al-Albānī fī al-Ṣalāh (Notes on al-Albani’s Treatise on Prayer), by our eminent teacher Ḥamūd ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Tuwayjirī, may Allah have mercy on him.
Shaykh al-Albani answered it with
al-Radd ʿalā Risālat al-Shaykh al-Tuwayjirī fī Buḥūth min Ṣifat al-Ṣalāh (A Refutation of Shaykh al-Tuwayjirī’s Treatise in the Studies on the Prophet’s Prayer). -
Tanqīḥ al-Fuhūm al-ʿĀliyah bimā Thabata wa-mā Lam Yathbut min Ḥadīth al-Jāriyah (Refining the Lofty Perceptions Concerning What Is and Is Not Authenticated of the Slave-Girl ḥadith), by Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī al-Saqqāf.
The aim of this book is to show that the phrase “Where is Allah?” found in the slave-girl ḥadith is unsound. That report has shaken the pens of the innovators and stuck in their throats; they branded it false and rejected it—even though it is recorded in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim. At the same time they lambasted al-Albani for declaring certain narrations in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim weak, even though he did so on the basis of hidden defects (ʿilal), whereas they reject on the basis of whim. We seek refuge in Allah from corrupt belief. -
Juzʾ fī Kayfiyyat al-Nuhūḍ fī al-Ṣalāh wa Ḍaʿf Ḥadīth al-ʿAjn (A Fascicle on How to Rise in Prayer and on the Weakness of the “Kneading” ḥadith), by the ʿallāmah Bakr ibn ʿAbd Allāh Abū Zayd, may Allah preserve him.
Shaykh al-Albani responded to it in his book Tamām al-Minna fī al-Taʿlīq ʿalā “Fiqh al-Sunnah” (pp. 197–207). -
Juzʾ fīhi al-Radd ʿalā al-Albānī wa Bayān Baʿḍ Tadlīsihi wa Khiyānatihi (A Fascicle Containing a Refutation of al-Albani and an Exposition of Some of His Concealments and Betrayals), by ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ṣiddīq al-Ghumārī. It was previously issued under the title Irghām al-Mubtadiʿ al-Ghabī; see the remarks on it above.

Ḥukm Tārik al-Ṣalāh (The Ruling on One Who Abandons Prayer), by ʿAbd al-Munʿim Muṣṭafā Ḥalīmah (Abū Baṣīr). This is a valuable work, yet the author is faulted for his severity toward al-Albani in several places. It is no excuse that al-Albani himself used strong language, nor that his followers were equally harsh when debating opponents. Rather, he—and every student of knowledge—ought to model himself on the pious predecessors when responding to those who differ.
