Is there a difference between the Jabriyyah and the Jahmiyyah, or are they one sect?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is there a difference between the Jabriyyah and the Jahmiyyah, or are they one sect?

Answer:
The Jabriyyah hold to compulsion (jabr) and to the denial of the names and attributes (tashbih), combining these vile methodologies. Thus, Jahm ibn Safwan combined these vile methodologies: compulsion and the denial of the names and attributes. For this reason, Ibn al-Qayyim said of him: "Jahm and Jahm, then a third Jahm with them," and so on. That is, he combined three vile methodologies: the Jahmiyyah. Yes.
