Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Just to add,

I am sure i also read somehwhere that ibn taymiyya also believed in tawassul, so i think we should use these type of references too, just to prove the hukm to todays salafis.

yes your right brother.

"''Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) stated: "If you ever find yourselves stranded alone in a desolate place or jungle, then say, 'O servants of Allah! Help me, Allah have mercy on you' "

[Ibn Taymiyya, al-Kalim al-Tayyib, page 69 and Shawkani, Tufhat ad-Dhakireen, page 130. Ibn Sunni, Imam Bazaar, Hafiz al Hasamim and Imam an-Nawawi all quote this hadith also in their various books]

Hafiz ibn Taymiyya writes:

"In the time of a drought, a person came to our Prophet's grave and complained about the drought. He then saw our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) who told him to go to 'Umar and tell him to perform the salat of Istisqah.There are numerous true narrations similar to this"

[Iqtisa Sirat al Mustaqim, page 373. Imam Bukhari has also discussed this in his book, Ta'rikh al Kabir, under the 'Biography of Malik ad-Dar']
