The ruling on declaring an innovator (bid'ah) one who does not affirm the attribute of hurūlah (running) for Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
These are questions I received via the network from the site of the lessons of the great scholars. A person from Morocco says: There is one of the students of knowledge who says that whoever does not affirm the attribute of hurūlah (running) for Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is considered an innovator. Is this correct? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This is ignorance; this is ignorance on his part. No attribute of hurrah (running) has been reported for Allah, nor is Allah called al-Muharrah (the One who runs); this has not been reported. What was reported is from
He came to me walking; I went to him running,جاءني يمشي أتيته هرولا،
This is a matter of informing, not a matter of naming. However, this person may not have studied 'aqidah (creed) and the rules of the names and attributes. Our affliction is of this type: when they read a hadith or a verse, they derive rulings from it themselves, without referring to the words of the scholars and without referring to the rules of the names and attributes. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
