The ruling on including the Asha'irah and the Maturidiyyah among the people of hadith

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: The compiler (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in his commentary that the saved sect is the people of hadith, the Asha'irah, and the Maturidiyyah. Is his statement correct?

Answer:
This is a settled matter. Including the Asha'irah and the Maturidiyyah among the people of athar is an error on his part. He (may Allah have mercy on him) had some oversteppings in his poem and in his commentary on it; there are some oversteppings in it. Yes, this is one of them: he included the Asha'irah among the people of the Sunnah and the people of athar. This is an error. The Asha'irah are from the theologians (mutakallimun); the Asha'irah are from the theologians, from the heads of the theologians. It is true that al-Ash'ari (may Allah have mercy on him) returned from the book of the people of rational inquiry to the methodology of the people of the Sunnah, but they did not follow him. The ones who claim affiliation with him did not follow him in his return, and they remained on the first methodology. Yes.
