(Explanation that the rules and restrictions of the people of innovation contradicted the texts in every respect
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says: "And they were nullified for their sake, and by Allah, numerous [texts] from the two clear texts were included"
Because they say: All these texts that affirm the attributes are all metaphorical, so they nullified their indication, even though they are clear and evident, but they narrowed them, wasted them, and nullified them.
"And it included the restriction of their absolute and the absolutization of the restricted, and it is the one with a measure
And it included the specification of what it generalized and the generalization of the specific by individuals"
It included the restriction of the absolute and the absolutization of the restricted, meaning the opposite of what came in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. And it also included the specification of what it generalized and the generalization of the specific by individuals. So, is there a difference between the absolute and the general, and between the specific and the restricted, or not? There is a difference. The restriction applies to the absolute and does not apply to the general, and the specification applies to the general and does not apply to the absolute. Yes. So if I say, "Free a believing slave," here is a restriction that applies to an absolute. Where is the absolute? "Slave," and the restriction is "believing." And if I say, "Honor the diligent students," this is a specification that applies to a general. It applies to a general. Good. So the author (may Allah have mercy on him) says: These rules necessitated that the specific be generalized and the general be specified, contrary to what Allah and His Messenger intended.
