In a discussion recently with a brother - May Allah bless him with good, my assertion that the pseudo-salafis do not understand the term “love - here we refer to Mahabbah” in reference to the Nabi Muhammad, was clearly manifested. He continued by mentioning “obedience” as well as all the other outwardeffects of love, yet never mentioned the love of the heart one should have for the Nabi (’alayhis salam). This, in my view, is the disease found amongst many pseudo-salafis, and why many end-up apostatizing from the religion, or simply having the horrible manners that they have. If one is not taught that internal love for the Prophet Muhammad is a foundation of the faith, and that “love” simply means to “obey”, then the connection with the person of the Nabi ‘alayhis salaam is not solidified within the heart and leads to spiritual diseases of both the internal and external.
From Abi Wahb Al-Jushami that the Messenger of Allah said:
“Name yourselves with the names of the Prophets. The most beloved names to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur-Rahman. The truest names are Harith (i.e. cultivator, plowman etc) and Hammam (energetic, spirited etc) and the worst names are Harb (war) and Murrah (gloomy or bitter).”
This is a brief video exposing the real intent of the Wahhabis in attempting to remove the love of the Muslims for their Prophet Muhammad (’alayhis salaam):
Sunnis are bombarded with negative pseudo-salafi propoganda all over the internet. It should not surprise anyone then that such propoganda stretches its rejected rhetoric to Imam Ash-Shafi’i. Read any “salafi” site’s article on “Sufism” and you will assuredly find the following quote from Imam Ash-Shafi’i:
“If a person exercised Sufism (Tasawafa) at the beginning of the day, he does not come to Dhuhur except an idiot.” [Talbees Iblees]. -1

Muhammad ibn Abdul Malik ibn Abish-Shawarib>>Yahya ibn ‘Amru ibn Malik An-Nukri>>from his father>>from Abil Jawzaa’>>Ibn ‘Abbas (radiya Allahu anhu) who said,
“One of the companions of the Prophet [Muhammad] set up a tent on a grave while not aware that it was a grave. The man heard the person within the grave reciting Surat Al-Mulk until it was completed. So the man came to the Nabi and informed him of what occurred. The Nabi said, “It is a prevention! It is a salvation saving one from the punishment of the grave!”
bless him with good, my assertion that the pseudo-salafis do not understand the term “love - here we refer to Mahabbah” in reference to the Nabi 
Muhammad, was clearly manifested. He continued by mentioning “obedience” as well as all the other outward effects of love, yet never mentioned the love of the heart one should have for the Nabi
