The proofs of affirmation, truly, are such that the mountains and the rest of the creation cannot stand against them (The types of valid evidence): The revelation of the Lord of the Worlds and His inspiration, along with the fitrah (the innate natural disposition)

The Shaykh :"The proofs of affirmation, truly, are such that the mountains and the rest of the creation cannot stand against them"
Because they are proofs from the Book of Allah, the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), reason, the fitrah (the innate natural disposition), and the consensus of the Salaf (the earliest generations)—five types of evidence against which the firm mountains cannot stand.
"The revelation of the Lord of the Worlds and His inspiration, along with the fitrah (the innate natural disposition) of the Most Merciful and the proof"
The revelation of the Lord of the Worlds is the Qur'an, and His inspiration is the Sunnah. This is based on the premise that the Sunnah is revelation. I have examined the Sunnah and found that some of it is revelation, while some of it is Allah's approval of the ijtihad (independent legal reasoning) of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Along with the fitrah (the innate natural disposition) of the Most Merciful, the fitrah, and his statement "and the proof," it is possible that "the proof" refers to the evidence of reason. In that case, Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned here four types of evidence: the Qur'an, the Sunnah, the fitrah (the innate natural disposition), and reason. A fifth matter remains, which is the consensus of the Salaf (the earliest generations) on this.
