« Watching from the distance of Mecca as the Mahdist revolution unfolded, a
Shafi'i Muslim scholar named Ahmad Zayni Dahlan (d. 1886)-a man who was neither Sudanese nor a believer in the Mahdi-voiced support for its battles. DabIan expressed hope that the Mahdi and his supporters would strike Western,
Christian forces that were beginning to exert themselves in the region and thereby help to bolster the Ottoman empire. But Dahlan was misinformed about the movement. Opposition to an incipient Western imperialism was one source of Mahdist activism but only one: at least in the early years of the movement (1881-85), opposition to Turco-Egyptian imperialism was far more important in triggering and sustaining jihad. »
« The Meccan scholar Ahmad ibn Zayni Dahlan was born in 1817. Around 1848 he became a teacher at the Great Mosque and in 1871 he was appointed Shaykh al-‘Ulama’or Grand Mufti. »
« Ahmad ibn Zayni Dahlan, the Shafi'i Mufti of Mecca, appears in at least two
managib in this book. He is often mentioned because he seemed to be (during the last third of the nineteenth century) a kind of chef d’ecole for conservative Shafi’is and those opposed to the ideas of Ibn Taymiya and the Wahhabis or neo-Wahhabis at the time. This antiradical personality was the author of a history of Mecca, and a book refuting Wahhabism and Wahhabi ideas, the Durar al-Saniya fil-Radd ‘ala’l-Wahhabiya, a book still banned in Saudi Arabia because of its vituperative polemic attacks and cutting criticism of the Wahhabis. Dahlan was also on the side of those who used saintly mediation in prayer, like Zayla’i, Shaykh Uways, Hajj Sufi, and a majority of Muslim conservatives of this time and
later. »

« In dieser Ablehnung der Wahhabiten folgt er seinem Lehrer Ahmad Zaini Dahlan (gest. 1886), dem damaligen schafiitischen Mufti Mekkas, der sich ausdrücklich dagegen wehrte, Ibn JAbd al-Wahhab zu den Hanbaliten zu zählen. Dahlan beschuldigte ihn vielmehr den Rechtsschulen eine Absage mit der Begründung zu erteilen, dass diese zu einer illegitimen Spaltung beitrügen. Laut Dahlan sei es sogar so gewesen, dass Ibn JAbd al-Wahhab die Menschen zunächst zu täuschen versuchte, indem erversicherte, Hanbalit zu sein. »
