Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"It is impossible that for His messengers *** there be two differing reports in His description"
This is correct. It is impossible for there to be two differing reports in the attributes of Allah in the books of Allah or in what the messengers brought. It is absolutely impossible. For example, if someone said, "If Allah descends to the lowest heaven when the last third of the night remains, this contradicts His being above," we would say, "It does not contradict, because His being above is established by a report, and His descent to the lowest heaven is established by a report, and the two reports do not contradict each other. Because if we allowed the two reports to contradict, we would allow one of them to be a lie, and that is impossible. However, it is said that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is not like anything, so it does not follow from His descent to the lowest heaven that He is not above His creation. Yes, very well. The important point is that this is a principle.
