Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the commentary of Shaykh Muhammad Aburat on the al-Nuniyyah, he cited from the author of al-Hidayah that he interpreted al-Samad as the One who has no interior,
Answer:
Yes, this is well known. If you were to refer to the interpretation of this attribute by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, you would find this meaning. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is not like the created things; there is nothing like Him, Glorified is He. Created things have an interior and such and such, but Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has nothing like Him. If it is based on evidence, and the evidence is established, then that is sufficient.
