Now, let’s read what the North African Maliki Sufi Shaykh Ahmad Ibn Idris had to say about Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Abd Al-Wahhab, (he calls him Shaykh, not just me)

The narrator (not Ahmad B. Idris) writes:
“When the people in the assembly had settled down--and there
were many men on hand--the jurist Nasir al-Kubaybi cleared his throat and began an admonitory sermon after their usual fashion and praised the missionary zeal of the Najdi [Muhammad b. *Abd
al-Wahhab]. The rhetorical exordium of his talk was that the
people had been in a pagan state of ignorance, worshipping idols
and declaring licit things which are forbidden. Thus Muhammad
b. "Abd al-Wahhab had devoted himself to proclaiming (the true]
Islam.”
