Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : He says: Some of them stated in their commentary on *Masail al-Jahiliyyah* by Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him), in the fortieth issue, regarding disparaging the wisdom of the Exalted, and he went on to say: And He praised His believing servants where they exalted Him from creating the creation for nothing or for a purpose, so He, Mighty and Majestic, said: "Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth..." up to His saying: "Our Lord, You did not create this in vain." He mentioned that Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) transmitted this in *Shifa al-'Alil*.

Answer : And the testimonies of praise, and is it correct to attribute this to Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him)? He said: For those of understanding, for those of understanding, the intellects and minds. As for its correctness regarding Ibn al-Qayyim, as long as Shaykh Muhammad ibn Dawud transmitted it from him, he is trustworthy.
