Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"He said that Allah is above the Throne and that He ascended, a statement of every one who speaks falsehood"
Meaning he said: Allah is above the Throne in his interpretation of "He ascended above the Throne," saying He is above it. As for "He ascended," al-Ash'ari says it is a statement of every one who speaks falsehood.
"in all his books, in all his books" - What? -
"in all his books, and he affirmed the statement of the one who affirms [the attributes] with a great affirmation
But you declared him a disbeliever and said: whoever says this is one who commits disbelief"
Therefore, the Asha'irah as a school deny what is attributed to Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari from the book al-Ibanah, al-Maqalat al-Islamiyyah, and similar works. They say these are attributed to him but are not authentic, because they contradict what they were upon. The reason is that they adopted his middle position between the Mu'tazilah and the methodology of the Salaf, they adopted it, affirmed it, and remained upon it.
