(Explanation of another point, which is cursing the Sunni who denies attributes with the charge of likening Allah to creation, but the curse returns to him because he is the one who actually likens, unlike the Sunni, and an example is given for this)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"This, and then there is another point by which *** there is comfort for one who has been slandered with falsehood"
"Comfort" means consolation. What is this point?
"You will find the one who denies attributes cursing the one who ascribes a body to Allah *** and likening Allah to a human being"
The one who denies attributes curses the one who ascribes a body to Allah and the one who likens Allah to a human being. Yes, and the truth is that his curse returns to him, because he is the one who likens. The one who denies attributes is the one who likens, as we passed over earlier. So if he curses the one who compares, saying: "O Allah, curse the one who compares and the one who likens," hear? He has cursed himself, because the people of hadith deny this. They do not liken Allah to His creation, and they say: "There is nothing like Him," and they do not ascribe a body to what they said was a body.
"And Allah turns that away from the people of guidance ***"
He turns that away, meaning the curse, from the people of guidance. In word or in word and meaning? In word and meaning, because they are not, praise be to Allah, those who ascribe a body to Allah, nor are they those who liken. An example of this is:
"*** just as Muhammad and Muthammim are two names" It is permissible to drop the hamza due to the necessity of the meter.
"*** just as Muhammad and Muthammim are two names"
He is pointing out that the polytheists named the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Muthammim, and they said: "He is Muthammim, not Muhammad," because Muhammad is from praise, and Muthammim is from what? From blame. So they say: "Muhammad is not his name, Muthammim is." They curse Muthammim, and they say: "May Allah not give Muthammim life or well-being." Look, see.
"They curse Muthammim" They curse Muthammim, "and Muhammad" who is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "*** is far removed from their cursing and preserved" So where does the cursing fall? On them, because they are the people of blame.
"They curse Muthammim and Muhammad *** is far removed from their cursing and preserved
Allah preserved Muhammad from their cursing *** in word and meaning, they are two of the same kind"
So the Messenger of Allah (may the prayer and peace of Allah be upon him) is named Muhammad in word, and in meaning? Also Muhammad, not Muthammim, neither in word nor in meaning.
"Comfort" means consolation. What is this point?
