The Shaykh :"They said to us, 'The Messenger said, and it is said in the Qur'an'". Allah is the Greatest. What is the difference between the two statements? It is immense. For this reason, he said: "How do you refute the Qur'an?"
If they say, "Allah said, His Messenger said," how do we refute this?
"And likewise, you are also from them in this narrow dwelling that you see"
Who are you addressing? The Asha'irah and their like, those who deny the attributes. They say, "If you say that reason indicates such and such, they say, 'The Qur'an and the Sunnah indicate such and such.' This is a difficult arena.
"If you come to them with reason, they come to you with the text from reports and the Qur'an"
And we, if we come to them with the words of Aristotle, al-Farabi, and Ibn Sina, they come to us with the Qur'an. So, you argue with reason, and they strike you with the Qur'an and the Sunnah. We argue with Aristotle and his like, and they come to us with the Book and the Sunnah. Thus, they have become an enemy to all of us. Do you see how they have become an enemy to these people and to these people?
