The Innovators Argue Against Us with Interpretations Found in al-Bayhaqi’s Book of the Names and Attributes; What Is the Answer to Them?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the innovators argue against us with interpretations found in al-Bayhaqi’s Book of the Names and Attributes, and they claim affiliation with this book. What is the answer to them?

Answer:
Look, my brothers, error is not acceptable from anyone, neither al-Bayhaqi nor anyone else. Al-Bayhaqi makes mistakes, there is no doubt about that, and some interpretations have crept into his work. But he has abundant knowledge, he has abundant knowledge, and he has… But the fact that I have some errors does not negate his scholarship, his personality, or his leadership (may Allah have mercy on him).
Error is never acceptable from anyone, and a person makes mistakes and hits the mark. Every person except the Messengers (peace and blessings be upon them). And they hit the mark without doubt.
But his glory and status are sufficient, in the knowledge Allah gave him and the great works he left for us. So we take the correct and leave the incorrect. Although the error he fell into is minor, praise be to Allah. Minor, it does not affect his scholarship, his personality, or… Yes.
