The reader: "A chapter on the purification of the people of hadith and the Shari'ah from ugly, abhorrent titles.
They accused them unjustly of what the accuser is more deserving of, so that the act of the wrongdoer might be repelled from them.
He accuses the innocent of what the sinner committed, in arrogance. ***"
The Shaykh : He accuses, he accuses.
The reader: He accuses the innocent of what the sinner committed
The Shaykh : Yes.
The reader: "He accuses the innocent of what the sinner committed, in arrogance. *** And for that reason, the two are confused among the ignorant.
They called them Hashawiyyah"
The Shaykh : They called them
The reader: They called them?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The reader: "They called them Hashawiyyah and Nawasib, *** and materialists and worshippers of idols.
And likewise enemies of the Messenger and his Companions. ***"
The Shaykh : And his Companions.
The reader: Did you hear?
The Shaykh : And his Companions
The reader: A copy?
The Shaykh : No, it is not a copy.
The reader: "And likewise enemies of the Messenger and his Companions. *** And they are the Rafidah, the most vile of creatures.
They declared enmity toward the Companions, then the Nawasib *** called the Shi'ah of the Most Merciful.
And likewise the Mu'attilah likened the Most Merciful to *** the non-existent, so both descriptions gathered for him.
And likewise he likened His speech to our speech, *** until he denied it, and these two are confused."
The Shaykh : And these two are likenings.
The reader: "And likewise he likened His speech to our speech, *** until he denied it, and these two are likenings.
And likewise he likened His attributes to our attributes, *** until he denied them from Him by slander."
The Shaykh : He denied them, and did not deny them?
The student: He denied them.
The Shaykh : He denied them? Yes, the correct one is that he denied them.
The reader: "And likewise he likened His attributes to our attributes, *** until he denied them from Him by slander.
And he came to the description of the Messenger of his Lord, *** and called it likening, O my brothers.
By Allah, who is more deserving of this name than *** this vile, filthy devil?
If it is likening, then affirming His attributes, *** Glorified is He, is with the most perfect of those with dignity.
But denying His attributes is likening Him *** to inanimate things and every one with deficiency.
Rather, to that which is nothing, and He is *** eternal, and if it is posited, then it is in the minds.
So you are the ones who liken in reality. ***"
The Shaykh : Yes.
The reader: "So you are the ones who liken in reality, *** or the affirmers of the attributes of the Most Merciful"
The Shaykh : You have done well, may Allah bless you, I think... the hour.
The Shaykh : An explanation, or not?
The student: An explanation.
The Shaykh : Yes.
