The Shaykh returns to speaking about some of the verses and hadiths that some sects have interpreted figuratively.

The Shaykh: And I return to say regarding the noble verse, the one who interpreted the verse by saying that they are looking at the blessings of their Lord meaning: the pleasure of her Lord This is denial of the divine attributes if it was the first interpreter, then it became followed and a leader for those after him who did not look at the hadiths, some of which I will mention, then he is excused. But what is the excuse for these laggards who came after them up to this time, who write treatises and support that the meaning of the verse is that she is looking at the pleasure of her Lord, despite the mass transmission of hadiths from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the most famous of which is or two narrations . They denied this hadith with a foreign philosophy in Islam, which these contemporaries today have inherited from their imams from the Mu'tazilah and the Khawarij, so they have come to make Muslims doubt many of the beliefs that the later generations inherited from the earliest generations. It was not an inheritance not based on the principle mentioned earlier, the Book and the Sunnah and the methodology of the righteous Salaf, but rather it was based on this principle from the Book and the Sunnah and the methodology of the righteous Salaf. They denied this hadith with that philosophy which many of the contemporary writers today adopt, and some of them may have a reputation by which whoever Allah (Mighty and Majestic) wills has gone astray, with the excuse that these are Islamic callers. What is this philosophy? A report with a limited chain does not establish a belief. They divided the Sunnah, which you know is his saying, his doing, and his approval, they divided it in terms of establishment, in terms of narration, in terms of the later generations receiving it from the earliest generations, into two sections: a section they call a report with a limited chain, and a section they call a mass-transmitted report. Whoever among you is a student of knowledge knows what is under this division in terms of terminology, but it is necessary to give some explanation to the general public. A mass-transmitted report means the report in which the Messenger (peace be upon him) spoke, then a large group of his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted it, ten, twenty, thirty, a hundred, because they differed, and praise be to Allah, in determining the number of mass transmission. And this difference is one of the proofs that the people of knowledge and correct understanding realize is not from Allah, because Allah described the noble Qur'an by His saying: So when they spoke about mass-transmitted reports, they differed greatly in what is the number of mass transmission. Some said ten, some said twenty, some reached a hundred, and some said there is no existence of mass-transmitted reports in the world. As for a report with a limited chain, it is what is narrated by one Companion, two, three, the important thing being less than the number of mass transmission. So if we do not know the number of mass transmission, consequently we do not know the number of reports with a limited chain. And what is built on what is missing is missing, what is built on error is error, what is built on falsehood is falsehood, and so on. The point is that it is required in a mass-transmitted report that the mass transmission continues to the person who reports the news, that it reached me as a mass-transmitted report.
