Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Why do the polytheists deny the name of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), al-Rahman al-Rahim?
Answer:
Because they say, "We do not know al-Rahman except as the Rahman of al-Yamamah," meaning Musaylimah, who called himself al-Rahman. So they are ignorant; they are ignorant of the names of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He).
