The Noble Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhalee (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:

Indeed I confirm with certainty that the books of refutation have within it mercy for the people in general and for those who have been refuted specifically. None comprehends that except for those with sound intellect from among the people. Therefore understand (this matter), may Allah take you under His care, and don’t think anything except for good about the one who refutes the mistaken ideologies.
