The poet's saying: Praise be to Allah, the Gatherer of all attributes

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I attended a wedding ceremony, and one of the poets recited a poem. In the first line he said: "Praise be to Allah, the Gatherer of all attributes." A person with me said that this is an error because the poet was general and did not restrict it to the good or praiseworthy attributes. I said that what you said is a form of likening Allah to creation. Because it is established among everyone that Allah is free from the ugly attributes, and He possesses the perfection of attributes of praise.

Answer:
All of this is the argument of the common people. It is all the argument of the common people. And this poetry is common. If he means that Allah is the One who gathered all the attributes, meaning the good attributes. If he means that the created being is the one who gathered all the attributes, this is a lie and an exaggeration. Yes.
