(Clarification that Jabr, Ijrā', and Jahmiyyah all originate from Jahm ibn Safwan, and that the sects took them from him, each according to their own measure) And Jahm is the root of them all, so it became *** divided
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And Jahm is the root of them all, so it became *** divided among people by the scale"
He is the origin of these three principles, and yet it divided and split among people. For example, did the Jahmiyyah have a monopoly on ta'til (denial of the divine attributes)? Answer? No. Did they have a monopoly on Ijrā'? No. Did they have a monopoly on Jabr? No. Some people took something from Jabr, some took something from Ijrā', and some took something from ta'til, so the people divided it up. But the origin of these three is from Jahm. We ask Allah for safety from it. Upon him is the burden of its sin and the sin of whoever acted upon it until the Day of Resurrection.
"And the true inheritors of it are *** their followers, not the followers of faith"
Correct, praise be to Allah. The followers of faith are safe from it.
"But the sects divided his saying ***"
The sects means the sects of the people of innovation.
"*** the one with one arrow, the one with two arrows, and the one with two arrows"
It means that people took from this ta'til (denial of the divine attributes); some denied one aspect, some two, some three, or more. But the origin of the calamity is from whom? From Jahm.
