A discussion regarding the negligence of many people in the oneness of the names and attributes, and mentioning an example of this, which is the excess of the Sufis in their sheikhs; where they say
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: And the oneness of the attributes is something that many Muslims today also neglect, and this neglect manifests in various forms; for example, we find many students, students of knowledge, and especially among them those who are Sufis, who believe in their sheikhs that they know the unseen, and that they read and look into what is in the breasts, so they explicitly state that one of them is present in the mosque in the shaykh's lesson, and then the shaykh is informed of what is in the heart of the disciple as a question, so he answers him before the disciple directs the question, so they have given the shaykh an attribute, and it is that He is the All-Knowing of what is in the breasts, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is the All-Knowing of what is in the breasts, so they have given this attribute to their sheikhs, so they disbelieved in the oneness of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in His attributes, among which is that He is All-Knowing of what is in the breasts, and likewise they disbelieved in His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He) - and of course they do not realize - : [Al-Jinn 72:26-27] , so Allah (Mighty and Majestic) explicitly states in this Qur'an that the unseen is not known except by Allah from one aspect, and that Allah does not inform about this unseen except whom He chooses from a messenger, so either these people who believe that the shaykh looks into what is in the breasts have associated him with Allah in the attribute of looking into what is in the breasts, or they disbelieved in His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He) : [Al-Jinn 72:26-27] , or they believe, despite His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He) : [Al-Ahzab 33:40]
Eid Abbasi: Is ... ?
The Shaykh: This is impossible after His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He) :[Al-Jinn 72:26-27] , this is one of the manifestations in which disbelief in the oneness of Allah in His attributes is embodied, for they have given the attribute of looking into the unseen to a human being among humans, and from those manifestations - also - is the poem of al-Busiri which they still sing, and even draw near to Allah with it, in which they address the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) by saying:
"For from your generosity are the world and its harms *** And from your knowledge is the knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen"
-- Welcome, how are you? --
He says: "And from your knowledge is the knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen", so this gives the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) the attribute of looking into the unseen; because the knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen is the entire unseen,[Al-Baqarah 2:2-3] , the unseen is everything that is hidden from your mind, so among the attributes of the believers is belief in this unseen, and the first of the believers is the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), but if it is said that he knows what is in the Preserved Tablet, and like what they say about some Sufis that he looked into the Preserved Tablet like this, and reads what will happen on that day and what will occur in the world, then this is not believing in the unseen; because believing in the unseen is to believe the Messenger in what he reported, so if you look into the unseen directly, then the intermediary between you and Allah, which is the Messenger of Allah, is removed, and this is denial of the Message, so when they say: al-Busiri said: "And from your knowledge is the knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen"; then they have disbelieved in verses of the Qur'an in which Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has specialized Himself with the knowledge of the unseen, even the Messenger said in the Qur'an about him: [Al-A'raf 7:188] , Allah says this on his tongue: [Al-A'raf 7:188] , and they say.

The important thing is that Allah thus narrated about His Prophet, and they narrate about their al-Busiri that he knows what is in the Preserved Tablet, "And from your knowledge is the knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen; so which of the two sayings do we believe? Do we believe in what Allah narrated in the Qur'an on his tongue (peace and blessings be upon him):[Al-A'raf 7:188] , or in their saying that al-Busiri said: "And from your knowledge is the knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen"? If we believe in this, we disbelieve in that, and if we believe in that, we disbelieve in this, so we believe in what Allah said, and we disbelieve in every saying that contradicts the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He), these are very painful realities in which Muslims have immersed themselves in denying and contradicting them to their throats ... .
(26) [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone (27) Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers

The Shaykh: This is impossible after His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He) :
and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone (27) Except whom He has approved of messengers

He says: "And from your knowledge is the knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen", so this gives the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) the attribute of looking into the unseen; because the knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen is the entire unseen,
