The Meaning of the Poet's Saying: "And you have overstepped in negation, at that time, of Him, *** as we negate a defect along with imperfection"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And you have overstepped in negation, at that time, of Him, *** as we negate a defect along with imperfection"
This means that you have negated these attributes with a definitive negation, just as we negate a defect and imperfection.
"You said: We purify Him from accidents, *** purposes, parts, and the body
and from accidents settling in His Essence, *** Exalted is He, from the knock of events"
The author answered: "We purify Him from accidents, purposes, parts, and the body." This means the body. And from accidents settling in His Essence; they intend by this the negation of actions.
"Exalted is He" means purifying Him "from the knock of events", meaning that Exalted is He from anything new knocking upon Him. All of this, may Allah protect us from it, is intended to negate what came in the Book and the Sunnah regarding the attributes of Allah. Therefore, he said:
"And the intent is negating His attributes and His actions, *** and the rising above the Throne, and the wisdom of the Most Merciful".
This means that you have negated these attributes with a definitive negation, just as we negate a defect and imperfection.
