The Shaykh : He says:
"He sought trade in counterfeit coins, mistaking them for *** valid currency, though they were invalid"
A man was given a piece of iron plated with silver, shaped like a dirham, and they told him, "These are dirhams." He did not know what it was to accept them. He accepted them as valid currency. So he says:
"He sought trade in counterfeit coins, mistaking them for *** valid currency, though they were invalid
Until it was returned to him, he was met with the disgrace and lowly humiliation of its return.
When these counterfeit coins are returned to him and it is said, "You gave us counterfeit dirhams," he then suffers disgrace and humiliation.
So he sought to validate them, for the currency of *** counterfeit coins does not circulate in prices
And he saw the impossibility of this without disparaging the remaining currencies, so he resorted to aggression.
When he wanted to validate his false currency, what did he say? He said, "Why do you call it false?" He said, "The currency in people's hands contradicts my currency." So, all the currency in people's hands is false and not valid, and the valid one is according to this. This applies to the example the author mentioned regarding the methodology of the ta'til [denial of the divine attributes] people with the people of the Sunnah. He says to the people of the Sunnah, "Everything you said is wrong, and the truth is what we are upon." This fits the example the author mentioned.
And he saw the impossibility of this without disparaging *** the rest of the currency, so he came with aggression
And he exchanged the valid price for his ignorance *** and his injustice, seeking it through slander
crooked.
Meaning that he seeks the valid, sound currency
crookedly, so that his currency is safe among the people *** and circulates among them with complete weights"
Does this circulate among people or not? Yes, it circulates. For this reason, he said:
And people are not qualified to appraise what *** has been said, except the individual in the ages"
