Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: Is it correct to say that "the type of deed" is an innovative phrase that was not transmitted from the Salaf, and that it is an ambiguous phrase with multiple possibilities, so it is better to leave it? May Allah bless you and benefit people through you?
Answer:
We have not known this in the speech of our scholars and the scholars of the Salaf. We have not known the distinction between "the type of deed" and others. You say "the deed," not "the type of deed." You say "the deed is part of faith," "the deed is part of faith." So faith is saying with the tongue, believing with the heart, and acting with the limbs. They did not say "the type of deed with the limbs." This is a phrase that did not occur; this is a phrase with no basis. Perhaps it came from the Murji'ah. Perhaps it came from the Murji'ah. Yes.
