Do the Maturidiyyah agree with the Asha'irah in denying the attributes, and what is the difference between them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : ... the Asha'irah.

The Shaykh : Who?

The questioner : The Maturidiyyah.

The Shaykh : No, the Maturidiyyah agree with the Asha'irah in what they have adopted, but they are the followers of Abu Mansur al-Maturidi. They say: The difference between them and the Asha'irah is in simple issues. The author of the commentary on al-Safarini mentioned that they affirm the attribute of creation, whereas the Asha'irah do not affirm it. In any case, I have not studied their school of jurisprudence to the extent that I know it, but they agree with the Asha'irah in everything except these attributes, although they differ in some descriptions regarding what they affirm.

The questioner : In matters of creed, they did not affirm for them ... .

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Because they are close to each other.

The Shaykh : Hm?
The student: Our Lord descends.

The Shaykh : Our Lord descends. Yes.
