The ruling on attributing "the Ancient" to the names and attributes of Allah

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe, does the fourth hadith of the old series on atheism regarding His names and attributes support this?

Answer:
"The Ancient" is not among the names of Allah, but it is reported about Him. It is reported about Allah that He is the Ancient. The chapter of reporting is broader than the chapter of naming. It is reported about Him that He is the Ancient, but it is not said, "O Ancient, Allah is the Ancient." This is not from the chapter of names, because names are indicative. Allah is not named except with what He named Himself with, or with what His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) named Him with.
As for reporting, its scope is broad. It is said that Allah reports about Himself that He is the All-Powerful, that He is a thing, and the like of what the scholars mentioned from the chapter of reporting about Allah (Mighty and Majestic), not from the chapter of naming and attributes. Yes. I seek forgiveness from Allah. "The thing," "the existent," and "the ancient" are reports.
