The Difference Between Ibn Qudamah’s Words in al-Lum'ah and in Rawdat al-Nazir

Question:
Is it true that Ibn Qudamah (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in Rawdat al-Nazir that this derivation is from the ambiguous verses? And is his statement there the same as his statement here?

Answer:
No, his statement here is better, but he erred in saying that what is obscure of that was divided into two categories: clear and obscure. This is a mistake; all the attributes are clear, and praise be to Allah, there is no problem with them. As for Rawdat al-Nazir, he followed the words of the later usul scholars, such as the Asha'irah and others, and he followed this school. It is said that Rawdat al-Nazir was quoted from al-Ghazali’s book, quoted from al-Ghazali’s al-Mustasfa, and al-Ghazali was an Ash'ari. Perhaps (may Allah have mercy on him) this phrase escaped his notice. Yes.
