The Shaykh :"And others" means: other than the people of hadith
"In ignorance and the claim"
Two despicable traits: ignorance and the claim of perfection. So the people of denial of the divine attributes, indeed all the people of innovation, have with them great ignorance and with them the claim of perfection. You find, for example, the Sufi, and there is no one more ignorant than the Sufi, and he claims that he is the scholar, he is the one with perfection, he is the one who worships Allah, and that those other than him have no softness of heart, no tenderness of heart, and no turning to Allah. And so it is with all the people of innovation: ignorance and claims. The author says:
"*** with great arrogance" This is the third trait, and what a bad trait it is. The fourth: "and much babbling" It is long, broad, ornate talk, and there is nothing in it. So these are four descriptions: ignorance, false claims, arrogance, babbling. These are the marks of the people of innovation. We ask Allah to keep us and you safe from them.
"They stretch a hand toward the heights with affectation *** and deviation, arrogance, and hesitation"
Meaning: They claim that they are the owners of the heights and they stretch their hands toward them, but with these descriptions, they cannot attain them.
