The reader: "Section: On the demand to distinguish between what is subject to figurative interpretation and what is not
We say: Distinguish between what you have interpreted *** and what you have denied, a distinction by one who possesses proof
He says: What leads to ascribing a body to Allah *** we have interpreted from reports and from the Qur'an
Such as rising above the Throne along with speech, thus *** the word 'descent' and likewise the word 'two hands' "
The Shaykh : Such as rising above the Throne; the hamza is a hamza of connection
The reader: " Such as rising above the Throne along with speech, thus *** the word 'descent' and likewise the word 'two hands'
For these are attributes of a created body *** which are not befitting the One, the Bestower
We say: You have also described Him with what *** leads to ascribing a body to Allah and to being created
You described Him with hearing and sight, along with *** the soul of life and the knowledge of the creator of the worlds
And you described Him with will along with power *** and His soul-speech, which are meanings
Or one, and the body is the bearer of these a *** ttributes truly, so bring forth the distinction
Between what leads to ascribing a body to Allah or *** does not necessitate it, with clear proof
And by Allah, if you spread out all your sheikhs *** they would never be able to make the distinction " .
