Allah Teaching One of His Creation a Name from His Names
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it the belief of the people of the Sunnah and the community that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, may teach one of His creation a name from His names that the Messenger did not know, as mentioned in the hadith, or did He teach one of His creation?
Answer:
I do not know of anything in this matter. However, regarding one of His creation, meaning from the Messengers (peace be upon them), no knowledge comes to us except through the Messenger. Except for the methodology of the Sufis, who say we take knowledge directly from Allah and do not need the Messenger. This is misguidance, and I seek refuge in Allah. So no knowledge comes to us except through the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
