Adhering to the expressions of the Salaf in the chapters on the attributes

The questioner:
And she said to them, "O man, your presence indicates that competence is being presented."

The Shaykh:
And it illuminates with the presence of impressions of meanings, and the greatness of his impressions. From where, my brothers? Here the rule in this matter is that you do not go beyond the expressions of the Salaf. Do not formulate new phrases or coin new words, even if so-and-so or so-and-so said them to the contemporary scholars. Do not accept this.
The expressions of the Salaf are the scholarly expressions, and the Salaf are ahead of us in this field. Frankly, they did not mention these things, as far as I know. So we restrict ourselves to the expressions of the Salaf: attributes of essence and attributes of action. These are what they mentioned: attributes of essence, which are those that are inseparable from the Essence, such as life, knowledge, power, and will; and attributes of action, such as creation, provision, descent, rising above the Throne, and majesty. Yes.
As for the ambiguities, the garbled phrases, and the "something or other" that is not found in the speech of the Salaf, beware of it, even if the one saying it is a mujtahid (a scholar qualified to derive rulings) and has a rank in knowledge. But this is a dangerous field, a field of the utmost severity and obscurity. It is not fitting for a person to be satisfied with something from his own mind. And if he wants clarification and wants definition, yes, how dangerous it is for some people to engage in these garbled phrases and these innovations that the Salaf did not say and did not speak about. Yes.
