Phrases coined by some of the imams that the Salaf did not say

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh’s case: You have forgotten Allah. You mentioned that it is obligatory to adhere to what has come from the Salaf regarding reports in the chapter of names and attributes, specifically. So what is the importance of your case in some of the issues that some of the respected imams of Islam have raised, which were not known to the Salaf?

The Shaykh:
What is an example? I wish we were given an example so we can see. I do not think that the respected imams coined phrases that the Salaf did not say.

The questioner:
And not just one thing; you mentioned that some students of knowledge brought phrases that the righteous Salaf did not mention, so you informed them. Do you remember some of them so we can avoid them and warn against them and others like them?

The Shaykh:
I do not like to specify. If you read something of this, avoid it and beware of it. Yes.
