The Shaykh : For this reason he said:
"And the others are the people of hadith, like Ahmad *** that is Ibn Hanbal, the contented al-Shaybani
He said that Allah, in truth, has always been *** a Speaker"
He has always been a Speaker, and speech is an attribute of action.
"He has always been *** a Speaker, if He wills, the One of excellence
He made speech an attribute of action subsisting *** in the Essence, not lost from the Most Merciful"
If it is not lost from Allah, it means that no time has come to Him in which He is not speaking, just as no time has come in which He is not acting. Good.
"And likewise he stated" Who stated it? Imam Ahmad
"on the permanence of action *** with excellence also in a second place"
Meaning in another statement of his.
"And likewise Ibn Abbas, so review his statement *** when he answered the questions of the Qur'an"
Meaning that Ibn Abbas stated that action is eternal and that Allah has always been and continues to be an Actor, with permanent excellence.
"And likewise Ja'far, the Imam al-Sadiq, the *** accepted among creation, the one of knowledge
He said that the Guardian has always been doing good, *** a doer of good, generous at every time
And likewise the Imam al-Darimi, for he *** said what contains guidance for the confused
He said that life is with actions, both of them *** are concomitant, so they do not separate"
Al-Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When I say that Allah is Alive, it necessitates that He is an Actor. And if life is eternal, then action is eternal, for it is not conceivable that there is a living being without action. This is good speech from al-Darimi. He says: Action is concomitant with the Essence. So just as Allah has always been Alive, He has always been an Actor. He said:
"Life is with actions, both of them *** are concomitant, so they do not separate"
