Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some people doubt the attribution of the book *Al-Tibyan fi Aqsam al-Qur'an* to Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him), because many of its chapters are based on the idea that speech is divided into literal and figurative, even though he stated in *Al-Sawa'iq al-Mursalah* that figurative speech is a taghut.
Answer:
No, my brother, the division of the Qur'an, this is by Ibn al-Qayyim. But there is a book on the literal and the figurative attributed to Ibn al-Qayyim, and it is not his. This is a separate book attributed to Ibn al-Qayyim, and it is not his, and it is not the book of divisions. This is another book attributed to Ibn al-Qayyim, and it is not his, and it is not the well-known one now.
