<blockquote>We do not negate the way of the Sufis and the purification of the inner self from the vices of those sins connected to the heart and the limbs as long as the individual firmly adheres to the rules of Shari'ah and the correct and observed way. However, we will not take it on ourselves to allegorically interpret (''ta'wil'') his speech and his actions. We only place our reliance on, seek help from, beseech aid from and place our confidence in all our dealings in Allah Most High. He is enough for us, the best trustee, the best ''mawla'' and the best helper. May Allah send peace on our master Muhammad, his family and companions.<ref>{{Cite web|last=al-Makki|first=Mawlana 'Abd Al-Hafiz|date=1 January 2011|title=Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab and Sufism|url=https://www.deoband.org/2011/01/sufism/shaykh-muhammad-bin-abd-al-wahhab-and-sufism/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150111012457/http://www.deoband.org/2011/01/tasawwuf/shariah-and-tariqah-tasawwuf/shaykh-muhammad-bin-%E2%80%98abd-al-wahhab-and-sufism/|archive-date=11 January 2015|website=Deoband org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Rida|first=Rashid|title=Commentary of Shaykh 'Abd Allah bin Shaykh Muhammad bin 'Abd al-Wahhab al-Najdi's Al-Hadiyyah al-Suniyyah|publisher=Al-Manar Publishers|year=1925|isbn=|location=Egypt|page=50}}</ref></blockquote>
