The great scholar of Ahlus Sunnah Mufti Hashmat Ali khan (ra), sent this fatwa of Hassamul Harmayn to all the scholars of Indian subcontinent of that time (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh being one at that time) Two hundred and sixty eight (268) leading Muftis of Indian subcontinent of that time issued the fatwa on these 5 personalities:
2. Rashid Ahmed Gangohi
3. Khaleel Ahmed Anbethawi
4. Qasim Nanotvee
5. Asharf Ali Thanvee
It should be noted that 268 Muftis were all leading muftis from the madarsa of Firang mahal , Rampur , Hyderabad ( deccan) , Sindh , Lahore. Agra , Surat... etc.
He published those fatwa under the name of ‘As sawahir rul Hindiya’ After Hassmal Harmayn was accepted by the scholars of Makkah and Medina, the Deo-bandis were in a state of shock!
They were clueless as to what to do next?
In an attempt to confuse the masses they said that: “Imam Ahmed Raza Khan (ra) has wrongly translated the original statements of Deo-bandi scholars from Urdu into Arabic and so the scholars of Makkah and Medina did not know the true matter!”
Note: Does our learned (Deobandi) author means that these scholars who were expert in Urdu, Arabic and Persian, got confused with “Urdu wordings” like the Arabian scholar?
Deo-bandis can close their eyes and be happy with this “assumption”?
Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Barelvi(ra) was able to put up scholastic attack against these heretical tendencies among the Muslims. In this respect his major contribution was to assert the supremacy of the Shariah in all his writings but in particular in this scholarly tract, Imam Ahmad Raza propounded his basic doctrines against the popular heretical tendencies. However, in order to appreciate his significant contribution, it might be useful to examine his views in the historical perspective.

Mu-hammed Ismail Dehelwi’s scholarly treatise Taqviatul Iman (The Power of Faith) which was directed against another book, Kitabal Tawhid written by Mu-hammed Ibn Abdul Wahab Najdi al Tamimi in which he deliberately ignored the doctrine of Risalat and the Finality of the Prophethood of Holy Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم)
After this one in 1874 A.D. Mu-hammed Qasim Nanawati of Deoband school wrote Tahzeerun Nas (Warning/condemantion of People),
Similarly in 1887 A.D. Khalil Ahmad Ambathwi wrote Brahin-e-Qa’tia (The Arguments in Refutation), and it was followed by another important work in 1901 A. D. by Ashraf Ali Thanwai entitled, Hifzul Iman (Protection of faith).
Rashid Ahmad Gangohawi wrote an extensive work entitled, Fatawa-e-Rashidiya (Religious verdicts of Rahsid).
In this connection one may also mention the work of Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani’s book entitled, Khutbat-e- Ghulamiya (Speeches of Gulam Ahmad) and other works in which he claimed for himself the status of prophethood.
These writings tended to destroy the doctrinal foundations of Islamic orthodoxy.
Imam Ahmad Raza (ra) in fact dedicated himself to wage war against these popular heresies and presented a powerful defense of true Islam. In 1905 A. D
Imam Ahmad Raza (ra) visited Holy places in Hejaz for performing pilgrimage. During this period he prepared a draft document entitled: Al Motamad Al Mustanad (The Reliable Proofs): for presentation to the eminent Ulamas of Mecca and Madina.
Imam Ahmad Raza (ra) collected scholarly opinions of the Ulama of Hejaz and compiled them in a compendium written in Arabic language with the title: Husam al Harmain (The Sword of two sanctuaries):

The Deo-bandis firmly follow the golden rule:
“If you cannot convince someone, confuse them” with
Al Muhannad
Please Note!
The "original": Al Muhannd was written exclusively for Ahlus Sunnah scholars of Arab to prove that the Deobandis are not wahabis.
Al
Muhannd has
only deceived people and Mawlana
Khaleel Ahmed did not write those
beliefs which were present in Deobandi books.
The Deobandis will
give a list of scholars who signed Al
Muhannad but they will shy away
from giving the comments of many scholars who
signed. Also, Deobandis should
present the book in
the original form in which it was
presented to the Arab scholars, that is, in
question and answer form, so that everyone can see the truth!

Letter to: Asraf ali Thanvi
Kindly see one of the letter which Imam Ahmed Raza Khan (ra) wrote to Mawlana Ashraf Ali Thanvee. This letter was published in 1329 AH:

Imam
Ahmed Raza Khan (ra) invited Mawlana
Ashraf Ali Thanvee for
a public meeting
at Muradabad. Mawlana
Ashraf Ali Tanvi never turned up.?
NOTE: Even before issuing the fatwa, Imam Ahmed Raza (ra) sent letters to Deobandi scholars requesting them to explain the statements. There was no reply from the Deo-bandi scholars. Ala Hazrat (ra) gave Ashraf Ali Tanvi, more than 10 years to explain and repent from his writing of kufr! He did not do so, then, and only then, did Ala Hazrat (ra) passed the fatwa of kufr!
----
NOTE: Imam Ahmed Raza Khan (d.1340H) He (ra) was not the originator of refutations of the Deobandis!
Regarding: Ismail Dehlvi passed away many years before Imam Ahmed Raza Khan's(ra) time. Therefore, although Imam Ahmed Raza wrote in his book refuting the writing of Ismail Dehlvi that some of Dehlvi's writings were of kufr; he did not pass kufr fatwa on the Ismail Dehlvi because Dehlvi was deceased (dead) and Ismail Dehlvi could obviously not write defence or explanation of himself.
Many had written against the `Ulama' of Deoband prior to him, such as:
Mawlânâ Fadl al-Haqq Khayrabâdî (r) in"Tahqîqul-Fatâwâ"
Hadrat Fadl al-Rasûl Badayûnî (r) in "Sayful-Jabbâr" and others.
In fact, Ala Hadrat (Imam Ahmed Raza Khan (rah) had not yet been born when these were written!
Imam Fazle Haq khairabadi (rh) wrote: Tahqeeq al-Fatwa fi Ibtal al-Taghwa Refuting various Anti Islamic belief of Mawlana Ismaeel Dehalvee. The fatwa of Kufr was issued on Mawlana Isameel Dehalvee and his book: Taqwiyatul Iman. It was signed by 17 (seventeen) leading scholars of Ahlus sunnah wal jamah. Scan: Here

"Did those who harbor doubts in their hearts think that Allah will not bring out their evil thoughts? If we will, we can expose them for you, so that you can recognize them just by looking at them. However, you can recognize them by the way they talk. Allah is fully aware of all your works." [47:29-30]

Open Secret
Hence how is it possible that both ‘Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza and Maulvi Ashraf ‘Ali Thanvee were classmates at Deoband?
