I Would Say to Him JazākAllāhu khayr

Shaykh Aḥmad bin 'Umar bin Sālim Bāzmūl: 

"If a person refuted me and clarified my error in a matter, I say to him JazākAllāhu khayr (may Allāh reward you with good) [for pointing that out to me] and I recant [from that error]. This is what is known of the Salaf. This is what is known of our Salafī scholars and the Salafī students of knowledge who desire the Face of Allāh, the Mighty and the Majestic, and those who call to Allāh and do not call to themselves! It is not [correct] or your right to split the people into parties/ cliques [or] to combat your Salafī brother and to, ya'nī, to flame up with rage at him in speech and gather [or scare up] suspicion around him and to combat him as if he is your enemy and you [two] are both primarily in agreement. It was appropriate that you support and help him as it is appropriate for him to support and aid you and this is prevalent with the Salafīs. That indeed they support one another and aid one another, not zealously or fanatically, but because they are supporting Allāh [meaning Allāh's religion and path] glorified is He the Most High:

"If you support Allāh, Allāh will support you..."

[Sūrah Muḥammad: 7]
