Mohammad Hayya Al-Sindhi Zain Imran's teacher Abdallah
ibn Ibrahim ibn Sayf introduced the
relatively young man to Mohammad Hayya Al-Sindhi in Medina and recommended him as a student.
Mohammad Ibn Abd-al-Wahhab and al-
Sindi became very close and
Mohammad Ibn Abd-al-Wahhab stayed
with him for some time. Scholars have
described Muhammad Hayya as having an important influence on Mohammad
Ibn Abd-al-Wahhab, encouraging him
to denounce rigid imitation of classical
commentaries and to utilize informed
individual analysis (ijtihad). Muhammad Hayya also taught Mohammad Ibn Abd-
al-Wahhab to reject popular religious
practices associated with walis and their tombs that resembles later
Wahhabi teachings. Muhammad Hayya
and his milieu are important for
understanding the origins of at least the Wahhabi revivalist impulse.
