Rashid Rida
In 1905, Rashid Rida spoke of the Salafis "(al-Salafiyya") as a collective noun in distinction with the Ash'aris in a theological sense. He would also refer to "Wahhabis" as Salafis. And later in the 1920s, Rida and some of his followers would declare themselves "Salafis" with respect to "fiqh", thereby broadening Salafi epithets to the realm of law.
