Commentary on the poet's statement: They testify to you regarding its invalidity *** Do you testify to them regarding the invalidity?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"They testify to you regarding the invalidity of their claim *** Do you testify to them regarding the invalidity?"
This means: The people of the Sunnah testify that the people of ta'til (denial of the divine attributes) are in the wrong regarding what they have labeled them with. Do you testify to them regarding the invalidity of what you have labeled them with, just as they testified to the invalidity of what you labeled them with? The answer is: No. They believe that they are upon the most perfect thing, and that they are the people of the Sunnah, the people of justice, and the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and so on.
