Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Did 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Kinani (may Allah have mercy on him) precede Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him), or did he come after him?
The Shaykh:
No, it does not appear that he came after Imam Ahmad. During the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) regarding the creation of the Qur'an, when the Mu'tazilah became arrogant in the era of al-Ma'mun, they became arrogant toward the people of the Sunnah. He (may Allah have mercy on him) debated them and silenced them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
There is a book called al-Haydah, which is printed. This is by 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Kinani, and it contains the debate with the Mu'tazilah. Yes.
