Is it permissible to describe Allah the Exalted as odd-numbered?

The questioner : The questioner asks: Is it possible to describe Allah the Exalted as odd-numbered, and that is...

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : And that is as came in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:

The Shaykh : And it is

The questioner : And He loves the odd-numbered.

The Shaykh : Yes, this is a strange question, people. Among the greatest things that come to a person is: what is the strangeness of it? He asked: Is Allah described as odd-numbered? And the Messenger of Allah said that Allah is odd-numbered? That is what came in the question. So does this question have a basis? No. Whatever has not come from Allah or is not authentic from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the names of Allah or His attributes, do not ask about it. And whatever is established, whatever its wording may be, for this reason, the path of the righteous predecessors is to believe in everything by which Allah described Himself or by which His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) described Him. And by "Messenger" is meant the genus, so even other than Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), if it is authentic from them that they described Allah with an attribute, then we describe Allah with it, for Allah is more knowledgeable about Himself and more knowledgeable about others, and His messengers are more knowledgeable about Him than others. So whatever is authentic from Allah and His Messenger, do not be repelled by it. Be repelled by the new, modern opinions, for they are the calamity. As for what came in the Book of Allah or is authentic from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), it is obligatory for you to believe in it.
And there is no difference in what is authentic from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) between ahad reports and mutawatir reports, because what is authentic from the Messenger is the truth. As for the statement of some theologians that ahad reports are not used as evidence in matters of creed, that is a false and contradictory statement. Because the ahad hadiths in practical rulings contain creedal rulings. For example, if you pray, this prayer is not a creed, but it is an action and speech, yet this action and speech is accompanied by a creed. What is the creed?
That it is worship, that it is an obligation, that you fulfill it, that it is voluntary, that you perform it voluntarily. Even practical rulings are undoubtedly accompanied by a creed. So this is a contradictory statement. And what we attribute to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is that what is authentic from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding matters of creed...
