(Accusing the Affirmers of Attributes of Ascribing a Body to Allah) And you have added a third matter to this, which is worse and uglier than this: a slander, for you have made affirmation ascribing a body to Allah and likening [Allah to creation] and this

The Shaykh :"And you have added a third matter to this, which is worse and uglier than this: a slander"
So, their transgression is against the texts and against Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). As for the texts, they distorted them; and as for Allah, they denied Him of His attributes. There is a third matter they committed.
"For you have made affirmation ascribing a body to Allah and likening [Allah to creation], and this is among the ugliest forms of transgression"
They said that whoever affirms these attributes for Allah is one who ascribes a body to Allah and likens Him to creation. So they committed a third transgression against whom? Against those who affirmed the attributes, labeling them as those who ascribe a body to Allah and liken [Allah to creation]. These are three transgressions: against the texts, which are the reports; against the one about whom the reports are made, which is Allah; and against the recipients of the reports, who are those who took the texts at their apparent meaning. The first was by distortion, the second by denial of the divine attributes, and the third by ascribing a body to Allah and likening [Allah to creation]. They transgressed against them and said, "You are those who liken [Allah to creation] and ascribe a body to Allah."
