Imam al Dhahabi rahimahullah speaking about Ibn Taymiyah rahimahullah:
"He is our Shaykh, the Shaykh of Islam, unrivaled in our time in terms of knowledge, courage, intelligence, spiritual enlightenment, generosity, sincerity towards the Ummah, enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil, and learning hadeeth – he put a great deal of effort into seeking it and writing it down, and he examined the different categories of narrators and acquired knowledge that no one else acquired."
