(Explanation of the Contradictions of the People of Innovation in Their Speech) This one is called a *mujassim* and his opponents *** accuse him of *ta'til* and disbelief; he is standing, he is sitting, he is a denier *** he is an affirmer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"This one is called a *mujassim* and his opponents *** accuse him of *ta'til* and disbelief"
Yes, this one is called a *mujassim*, and his opponents accuse him of *ta'til* and disbelief. So sometimes he says this, and sometimes he says that.
"He is standing, he is sitting"
Standing with those who stand, and sitting with those who sit.
"He is a denier *** he is an affirmer"
A denier with the deniers, an affirmer with the affirmers. He has no stable principle upon which to stand, and he is an affirmer, no.
"He is an affirmer, meeting him in various colors
One day he interprets it, and another day he *** seizes upon interpretation by denial.
Sometimes he interprets and distorts, and sometimes he does not interpret or distort, but rather he denies *ta'wil*. And so it is with these wavering people. Therefore, you hardly find anyone from the people of *kalam* who stands firm on a solid footing; rather, he contradicts himself with himself. You find him in one place in his speech saying this is obligatory for Allah, and in another place saying this is impossible for Allah, and in a third place saying this is permissible. This is one of them, regardless of the group as a whole. If we looked at the group as a whole, we would find some of them lying to others. Yes.
