Re: Is this true?
I believe you are talking about
محمود شكري الآلوسي
in the above list. It is said about him
كما كان له فضل كبير في نشر مؤلفات ابن تيمية وابن القيم الجوزية نشراً وطبعاً وتحقيقاً
Likewise he had a great influence in propagating the writings of Ibn Taymiyyah and Al-Qayyim.
But you will see, as the discussion goes on, that there were other Hanafis who had the same beliefs and were before Ibn Taymiyyah.
