The Shaykh :“And the like of this cannot be counted due to its abundance *** O people, so be ashamed of the Most Merciful”
He means: The like of this is that they differ in the wording and its derivation, but they do not differ in what is intended by it. There are many such cases, but sometimes they also agree on the wording and differ in what is intended, such as: al-qur' (the menses) is three quru' (plural of qur'), what is intended by them? Is it menstruation or purity? There is disagreement, even though they agree on the wording. Sometimes they differ in the wording and agree on what is intended. All right.
“Is it with such nonsense that you have separated the texts of revelation from knowledge and certainty”
The answer: No, by Allah, they are not separated, and this is nonsense. And the fact that they confuse people by saying: Is Allah Arabic or Syriac? Is it derived or non-derived? Is it impromptu or transmitted? This has no effect, because the intended meaning is agreed upon.
“Is it with such nonsense that you have separated the texts of revelation from knowledge and certainty”.
