"And I inform you about myself - I swear by Allah whom there is none worthy to worship except Him - I have sought knowledge and those who knew me believed that I had knowledge while I did not know the meaning of La Ilaha illa Allah at that time and did not know the religion of Islam before this grace that Allah favored. As well as my teachers (Mashayikh) no one among them knew that. And if someone from the scholars of al-'Aridh (the lands of Najd and surrounding areas) claims that he knew the meaning of La Ilaha illa Allah or knew the meaning of Islam before this time, or claims on behalf of his teachers that someone from them knew that, then he has lied and said falsehood and deceived the people and praised himself with something he does not possess."

He is saying that even his own teachers like his father that was a Hanbali Athari scholar did not even know the meaning of tawhid, and that nobody before him knew islam. Every scholar did not know Islam except him. What a lunatic, no wonder why he’s own brother Sulayman that was an Athari Hanbali scholar was his biggest opponent and critic.
