And likewise the Sham, the 'Alaf, and the Na***jar are the people of ignorance of the Qur'an, and by Allah, there is no one among the people who raises his head with the revelation, but rather with the opinion of so-and-so, and the best of your army is that Ash'ari, the Qarm, that is the leader of the knights, but by Allah, you are not upon its establishment, and the truth has proof (the speech is about al-Ash'ari and his creed)

The Shaykh : The author (may Allah have mercy on him) says:
" And likewise the Sham, the 'Alaf, and the Na***jar are the people of ignorance of the Qur'an
And by Allah, there is no one among the people who raises his head with the revelation, but rather with the opinion of so-and-so
And the best of your army is that Ash'ari, the people, that is" " that is the Ash'ari" the Qarm or the people? The Qarm
" That is the Ash'ari, the Qarm, that is the leader of the knights
But by Allah, you are not upon its establishment, and the truth has proof"
All these are names for the shaykhs of the Mu'tazilah. Al-Ash'ari (may Allah have mercy on him) was originally a Mu'tazili; forty years passed for him while he was a Mu'tazili, then Allah granted him guidance, so he returned from the doctrine of the Mu'tazilah. Then it became clear to him after this that the truth is in the doctrine of the Salaf, and he followed Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him).
