In the second century of Hijrah, a sect called Al-Wahhabiyyah emerged and spread in North Africa related to Abdul-Wahhab Bin Rustum. It was considered to be a branch of Al Wahhabiyyah which originated with the Ibadite Kharijite group. It is original founder was Abdullaah Bin Wahab Al-Rasibi and it was formerly known as Al-Rasibiyya.
people of the Maghrib weere totally against this movement because it was alien to their faith and many scholars have given the verdict about them that they are unbelievers. It has reliable sources to clearly map out the history of Ali Bin Muhammad Al-Lakhmy. This is because the question as directed to him. I found that he died in the year 478 AH. He was a Maliki Jurist O Qairawani origin who died in Safaqas.
The author of the book is Ahmed Al-Wansharisi who died in the year 914 AH in Fez as it appeared in all volumes of the book.
Shaikh Muhammad Bin Abdul0Wahhab, the founder of the SAlafiy mission followed the steps of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and his Companions was not boern then. He was born in Oyaynah in the 1115 AH and he began his mission with Imam Muhammad Bin Saud in Dar'iyya in the year 1158 AH.

Basically the answer given to that question has preceded Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab by more that 600 years. When we refer to the year in which Al-Lakhmy died, and answer of Al-Lakhmy which was traced in a book written by Al-Wansharisi to the mission of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab will create chaos, because of the above discrepancies. To curb out this confusion I put myself through a lot of historical research about the books which discussed the sect, when it was founded.
After all, the main purpose of the sect is understood, the two terms Al-Wahhabiyya and Al-Wahhabiyyah as used in the Al-Wansharisi's book and the publisher and editor of the book did not comment on the the two terms. And I believe that many books from the Maghrib especially about faith may illustrate the matter.
A critical research should be done on the said issue. It is incumbent for every Muslim to realize the damage enemies of Islam wreck on any righteous deed any individual or Muslim group had undertaken.
They realize that pure Islam ties its adherents irrespective of race, colour or nationality. It is the only force that binds the Muslim Ummah and makes it such an impenetrable fold so for access' sake they decide on this divide and rule tactics.'

Thus we refer to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says:
" I was given five things. No other Prophet before me was given."
He mentioned among others.
''I am in a possession of a weapon that can make every enemy of Islam feels terribly disturbed when he is at least one month distance away." (Bukhari and Muslim)
For the enemies of Islam to penetrate into Muslim countries and to benefit from the largesse of Muslim countries. They adopted their usual method; divide and rule. The leadership of non Muslims int the Muslim countries is discordant and the Muslims are absolutely powerless and their general control over the Muslims just serves to enable them tap the resources of these host countries. They therefore create enmity, hatred and various misconceptions among the Muslims. The enemies of Islam are like those Satan who steal information from Angels; when they get one word, they coat it with many more lies and falsehood just to ensure dominant chaotic situation.
From the research I conducted in the old historical texts and other Historical events regarding the sect of Al-Wahhabiyyah in North Africa, I conclude that:
1. In a book titled Kitab-Mu'arab Al-Kabir Vol II the Abbasid period, written by Dr. Al-Sayyed Abdul Aziz Salim,...

it was indicated that Abdur-Rahman Bin Rustum the founder of the Rustumi dynasty in the city of Tahirt (in the Maghgrib) when he felt that he was about to die in the year 171 AH, he instructed that seven men (the best of the Rustumi dynasty) were to be selected. They were to rule consecutively, among them included, was his son Abdul-Wahhab and Yazid Bin Fandeq, and Abdul-Wahhab was appointed as the leader. This caused a dispute between him and Yazid Bin Fandeq.
Ibadiyya, which was the religion of Ibn Rustum and his followers, was taken from East to the West. And it was divided into two factions. Al-Wahhabiyyah traceable to Abdul-Wahhab Bin Abdur-Rahman Bin Rustum and Nakaraiyyah. A number of wars and skirmishes were fought between the two factions. The consequences of which was defeat of Al-Nakariyya. And the group leader called him Qindira was killed. But after his demise, a group of Mu'utazila called Wasiliyya joined them. Abdul-Wahhab intended to perform advised him not to do so; instead he should stay in Nuffusah so that the Abbasid may not attack him. Abdul-Wahhab the founder of the Rustum dynasty which spread all over north afirca died in the year 211 H.
The French writer Charley Andre in his book "The History of North Africa" translated into Arabic by Muhammad Muzally and Al-Bashir Bin Salama discussed the Kharijite which was...

the seat of the Rustum dynasty. The author gave details about the huge area covered by Rustum dynasty, their beliefs their milestones in civilazation and how it came to be known as Wahhabiyya related to ABdul-Wahhab Bin Abdur-Rahman Bin Rustum who was totally different from his Kharijite origin as well as the doctrine of Ahlus Sunnah (the followers of the Prophetical teachings).
In his book 'Islamic Sects in North Africa from the early Muslim conquest to Date', the book was translated into Arabic by Abdur-Rahman Badawi. He said the Kharijites, the Wahhabis were named after Abdullaah Bin Wahab Al-Rasibi, the one who fought 'ALi Bin Abi Talib in the Battle of Nahrawan. They belong to the Kharijites of Ibadiyya. He further elaborated that the Ibadiyya of Al-Magrib in Tahirt is a branch. Their government; the Rustimi dynasty reigned in North Africa. They were the most fanatical group among the Kharaijites.
The author talked about the followers of Abdur-Rahman Bin Rustum from whom the name Wahhabiyya evolved. Because of the innovation and cahnge that they brought about in their beliefs, they are the most opponent, they hated the shi'ites and Ahlus-Sunna (Followers of the true teachings of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم).
Al-Zarkali in his encyclopedia, summarized 10 books, which discussed the history of Ibadiyya and the Rustumi dynasty in..
