alathariyyah:

Unfortunately, due to the ignorance of the worshiper, and his transgressions, he does not...

A question that must arise when one calls to the way and methodology of the Salaf is:
“Was it from the manhaj of the Salaf to call to the manhaj of the Salaf?”
Hopefully the following narrations will bring clarity to this issue.
