Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the difference between hikayah and ibarah according to the Asha'irah?
Answer:
They say that ibarah is lighter than hikayah, because the meaning of hikayah requires that the narrated content matches the hikayah exactly. As for ibarah, exact matching is not required. They claim this is out of scrupulousness; they say it is ibarah, and we cannot say it is hikayah, because hikayah requires the narrated content to match the hikayah. This is their notion of scrupulousness, and it is all invalid, both this and that.
