Is there anything in the Noble Qur'an called *majaz* (figurative interpretation)?

The questioner: His EminenceThe Shaykh- May Allah preserve you - , he saysThe questioner: Is there any *majaz* (figurative interpretation) in the Qur'an? I ask for clarification?

The Shaykh: ... This issue is frequently discussed in this series, and we have spoken about it to the extent that Allah has made easy for us. So I say: Based on what I understood from the words of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and his pious student Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah; that the *majaz* (figurative interpretation) claimed by the scholars of *kalam* (theology) and the *mu'attilah* (those who deny the divine attributes) in many of the verses of Allah and His attributes; such *majaz* has no basis. And Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah - may Allah have mercy on him - mentioned that what those people call *majaz*, by which they argue against the people of the Sunnah in establishing their own *majaz*; he says: That is not from the category of *majaz*, rather they call it by this name; that is: on the level of his saying - peace and blessings be upon him - : . So they - for example - I mean the scholars of *kalam* - claim or argue for the establishment of their *majaz*, by which they denied many of the attributes of their Lord - Blessed and Exalted is He - with something like His saying - Mighty and Majestic - : ; so Ibn Taymiyyah - may Allah have mercy on him - says: It is not correct for them to argue with this verse that it contains *majaz*; because *majaz* in the understanding of those who uphold it is taking the apparent meaning of the verse, which is the literal meaning, and moving it to a figurative meaning that does not come to mind, but rather the listener is compelled to go to that meaning due to evidence or a context. And the reality in this verse and its like is that the matter is the opposite of that; that is: when the Arab man hears this verse as a report from the tongue of the brothers of Yusuf - peace be upon him - : , no one comes to mind that he is ordering to ask the village with its mountains, its gardens, its trees, its soil, its sand, and the like, but rather what comes to mind is the people of the village and the people of the caravan. So this is the literal meaning, and it is not called the figurative meaning; because the meaning that comes to mind from this verse is the literal meaning. And if they agreed to call it figurative, and that it is from the category of *majaz al-hadhf* (figurative omission), and the estimation is as the apparent meaning, as I said earlier that it is the intended meaning of the verse ; that is: the people of the village, and so on for the rest of the verse, then the apparent meaning here is the literal meaning; contrary to what they call the figurative meaning. This is what can be mentioned on this occasion.
And the summary of that is that *majaz* is to be a true *majaz* in the understanding of those who uphold *majaz*, so this has no basis in the Noble Qur'an, nor in the Sunnah of the Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him and his family - . Or it is a literal meaning to which they applied the name *majaz*, so in that case we say: It is a naming in its true sense; as mentioned earlier, they call it by a name other than its own.
This is what I have, and we ask Allah to make us successful in understanding the Book of our Lord and the Sunnah of our Prophet according to the methodology of our righteous predecessors - may Allah be pleased with them - .
