Those who rush to narrate that doctrine of theirs are people of ignorance and aggression (Clarification of the position of the one who says that the necessary implication of a statement is binding on its speaker: that it is ignorance and aggression)

The Shaykh : He said:
"Those who rush to narrate that doctrine of theirs are people of ignorance and aggression"
This means that those who rush to narrate the necessary implication of a statement as a statement are ignorant people and people of aggression. They are among the ignorant and among the people of aggression. Be aware, for if a necessary implication is brought to the speaker and he accepts it and commits to it, then it is his statement. But if he rejects it and denies it, saying, "This is not a necessary implication," then it is not his statement.
If someone were to say: "These reprehensible statements regarding the attributes and other matters, if false necessary implications follow from them, why did their proponents not retract them? Why did their proponents not retract them?" We say: Do you have knowledge that what we are saying reached them? We do not know. Perhaps they were not being held to these implications, or perhaps they were ignorant of this necessary implication or had forgotten it. It is often said to a speaker, "Such and such is a necessary implication of your words," and then he retracts it when he learns that the necessary implication is false. For the necessary implication is false in the view of all people of intellect. "Those who rush to narrate that"
