(The Hadith of the Girl) And mention his testimony to the one who *** said, "My Lord is in the heavens," with the truth of faith, and the testimony of the just denier to the one *** who said this with the truth of disbelief

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And mention his testimony to the one who *** said, 'My Lord is in the heavens,' with the truth of faith"
And by that he means
The girl whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Where is Allah? She said: In the heavens. He said: Free her, for she is a believer. الجارية التي سألها النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : أين الله ؟ قالت : في السماء فقال : أعتقها فإنها مؤمنة
.
"And the testimony of the just denier to the one *** who said this with the truth of disbelief"
May Allah help us. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Set her free, for she is a believer أعتقها فإنها مؤمنة
And as for the denier who says that Allah is in the heavens, he says: Do not free her, for she is a disbeliever. Yes, these people testify to the disbelief of the one who affirmed that Allah is in the heavens, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) testified to the faith of the one who affirmed that Allah is in the heavens.
"And judge as you wish" With faith and not with disbelief? Do you judge the one who said that Allah is in the heavens with faith and not with disbelief?
The student: With faith.

The Shaykh : With faith, just as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) judged.
"And I *** see you accepting the testimony of the invalid" When do you accept it?
"If you are among the followers of Jahm"
The student: We have taken it.

The Shaykh : No, we have not read the verse.
"If you are among the followers of Jahm, *** the companion of denial, aggression, and slander"
So then, what will you accept? What did you judge the one who said that Allah is in the heavens with? With disbelief, if you are among the followers of Jahm, and with faith, if you are among the followers of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
