Those who ascribe a body to Allah, who said that *** Allah is above all of creation (The distortion by the deniers of attributes of the methodology of the people of the Sunnah for the common people, because they do not follow them, and the mention of the titles they gave to the people of the Sunnah and the meaning of "al-la")

The Shaykh :"Those who ascribe a body to Allah, who said that *** Allah is above all of creation"
Those who ascribe a body to Allah, who deny the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), or to put it more correctly, who deny Allah of His attributes, call everyone who affirms an attribute one who ascribes a body to Allah. Do you know why? In order to distort their path in the eyes of the common people so that they do not follow their path. Because if they say "those who ascribe a body to Allah," people say, "Then they worship a body, and one who worships a body worships an idol; there is no difference between their object of worship and al-Lat and al-Uzza." They distort their reputation with these bad titles. They called them "Hashawiyyah," from "hishah al-mata'" (the chaff of goods), meaning they are nothing. They called them "Nawabit." Do you know what Nawabit are? The Nawabit that grow in the crops... they are of no benefit and they spoil the crops. So they called them Nawabit. And these bad titles, they inherited them from their imams, the enemies of the messengers, who said to the messengers that they were sorcerers and madmen.
Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman." كذلك ما أتى الذين من قبلهم من رسول إلا قالوا ساحر أو مجنون
[Adh-Dhariyat 51:52]
Now, these people call the people of the Sunnah, who affirm the attributes, "Those who ascribe a body to Allah, who said". "Al-la" means "those who said," as Ibn Malik said: "The plural of 'alladhi' is 'al-la'". So "al-la" means "those who," and from this is the saying of the poet:
"And it wears out those who put on armor for those *** who, on the day of terror, are like the front-facing hawks"
"And it wears out those who put on armor". "Al-la" who put on armor means those who put on armor, and the meaning of "put on armor" is to wear the armor of war. "For those who, on the day of terror". The second "al-la" here means "allati" (the feminine plural), meaning for the horses, the ones who, on the day of war, "are like the front-facing hawks". "Al-hida" is the plural of "hida'ah" (hawk), and "al-qubul" means those that look from one side only, so they swoop down on the prey. He says:
"Those who ascribe a body to Allah, who said that *** Allah is above all of creation".
