Is Imam Ibn Hisham Ash'ari in his creed because he interpreted (And your Lord comes) by saying: "The command of your Lord"?

The questioner:
Peace be upon you. Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: What is Ibn Hisham's statement in *Awjad al-Masalik* in the commentary of Ibn Malik's *Alfiyyah*, in the chapter on the permissibility of omitting the possessor?

The Shaykh:
What did I say?

The questioner:
He says: I have obtained your attention. What is Ibn Hisham's statement in *Awjad al-Masalik*.

The Shaykh:
*Al-Masalik* means the commentary on the *Alfiyyah*? Yes, indeed.

The questioner:
He says: He stated in the chapter on the permissibility of omitting the possessed noun, when Allah the Exalted said: "And your Lord comes," that it means "the command of your Lord." So, is it said that Ibn Hisham is one of the Asha'irah?

The Shaykh:
This is the statement of the Ash'ari. This is the statement of the Ash'ari. It does not necessitate that Ibn Hisham is Ash'ari. But it may be that this statement came to him unintentionally, and he reported it unintentionally. Not everyone who brings forth a figurative interpretation (ta'wil) is called an Ash'ari. Rather, it is said that he brought forth the statement of the Ash'ari and did not notice it. Yes.
