Before he made the historic pact with Muhammad bin Saud, how were the teachings of Wahhabism founder, Mohammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, received by the people of the Arabian Peninsula?

If you want, I've answered When/how did Wahhabism first become associated with the Saudi royal family? which partially answers your question.

To summarize, his teachings were generally rejected by the other tribes. The main reason was because Abd al-Wahhab preached a holy war against Muslims who did not follow his teachings.
