The questioner : Some students of knowledge mention that a verse of attribute, or a verse containing attributes, has three matters: the first matter is the meaning of the context, the second matter is the meaning of the attribute, the third matter is the attribute itself. We give an example of this: [Al-Fath 48:10] They say regarding the meaning of the context, so the meaning of the context is that Allah is with them and that Allah is their helper and supporter. The meaning of the attribute is that hand means hand; the attribute itself we ascribe to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). What do you see in this matter?
The Shaykh : It seems to me that this is something new. Is it new or old?
The questioner : No, it is old.
The Shaykh : Who said it?
The questioner : From the general statement of some of the Salaf: Ibn Kathir interpreted it...: “For you are under our care”; does this mean the meaning of the context?
The Shaykh : This is the answer for the three categories. Did the early Salaf hold to this?
The questioner : It includes the meaning of the context.
The Shaykh : I am speaking of this division; who said it? We say: that the hand is an attribute, it is one, and the reality is that Allah knows it best, as for...
The questioner : The meaning of the context.
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner What does it mean?
The Shaykh : It means you see us with our eyes.
The questioner[Al-Fath 48:10] Many of the Salafi commentators said that Allah is their supporter and helper.
The Shaykh : ... Who said it?
The questioner : Ibn Abbas said... in the interpretation of His saying (the Exalted):.
The Shaykh : No – may Allah bless you – do not go beyond the verse, give us a second verse! It is fine; we accept this; because not everyone recalls it, but if you give; “ayd” here has no relation to the hand; “ayd” means strength, so we would be under the rain and become under the gutter!!

The hand of Allah is over their hands
يَدُ اللَّهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْThe Shaykh : It seems to me that this is something new. Is it new or old?
The questioner : No, it is old.
The Shaykh : Who said it?
The questioner : From the general statement of some of the Salaf:
Indeed, you are under Our eyes
فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَاThe Shaykh : This is the answer for the three categories. Did the early Salaf hold to this?
The questioner : It includes the meaning of the context.
