(That the people of the Sunnah affirm the names and attributes of Allah and the rulings of the attributes, which is the athar, and these are the pillars of faith in the attributes, and he mentioned examples of these pillars)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And bear witness that they have affirmed *** the names and descriptions of the Lord"
Meaning that the people of affirmation, the people of hadith, affirmed the names and descriptions, is that not so? They affirm the name and the attribute it indicates.
"And likewise the rulings, the rulings of the attributes *** and these are the pillars of faith"
So they affirmed the names and the descriptions they contain, and the rulings contained in these descriptions. These are the pillars of faith. Which faith? Faith in the name. Faith in the name of Allah must have three pillars: that you believe in it as the name of Allah, that you believe in the attribute it contains, and that you believe in the ruling that follows from this attribute. He gave us examples, may Allah have mercy on him.
