Question:
The Shaykh, may Allah be with you, I do not see his Eminence as one of those who says that the book of 'Aqeedah al-Tahawiyyah is more [about] al-Tahawiyyah than [it is]. How? Peace. The lesser reading of the books of the early scholars.
Answer:
This is incorrect, and this is evidence that he has not read the book, or that he read it but did not understand it. This is strange speech. Sharh al-Tahawiyyah does not contain anything of the science of kalam. Rather, it is... rather, it condemns the science of kalam. At the beginning of the book.
And all of it, we say, is from the words of the two Shaykhs: Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and his student Ibn al-Qayyim. All of it, we say, is from the books of the two Shaykhs: Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Qayyim. And it does not contain anything of the science of kalam except in the way of condemning it and warning against it. So it is a good book, full of good researches, and it is an explanation of the creed of a noble Imam from the Imams of hadith, from the Hanafis: al-Tahawi, Abu Ja'far al-Tahawi (may Allah have mercy on him). It is a good book that does not contain any contradiction to the words of the Salaf. Yes, rather, it is a support for the words of the Salaf. Yes.
