The Call of the Messengers: Detail in Affirmation and Summary in Negation, the Opposite of the Deniers of Attributes, and the Reason for Sometimes Using Detail in Negation in the Call of the Messengers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And for what reason did they exaggerate in describing with ***affirmation*** rather than negation in every age?"
They exaggerated in describing with affirmation, meaning: they affirmed the attributes of Allah the Exalted and Majestic in the majority of cases. For this reason, if you examine the texts, you will find that most of them contain detail in affirmation and summary in negation, which is the opposite of the path of these people.
"And for what reason did you ***exaggerate*** in negation and denial of attributes by leaps?"
This is the opposite of what the Messengers brought. The Messengers generally brought detailed affirmation and summary negation, whereas these people are the opposite. For this reason, you will hardly find a detailed negation of the attributes of Allah except for a reason. Either it is a defect that the fabricator claimed, such as the claim of the Jews, Christians, and polytheists that He has a son, so He said:[Al-Ikhlas 112:3]. Or it is the negation of an attribute that a deluder imagines from a great and mighty act, such as the creation of the heavens [Qaf 50:38], because perhaps someone might say: "Well, the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days would burden the Doer with fatigue." So He said: [Qaf 50:38]. At the same time, His saying: [Qaf 50:38] is a refutation of what the fabricators, namely the Jews, said. May the curse of Allah be upon them. They claimed that when Allah the Exalted and Majestic created the heavens and the earth in six days, and the last of them was Friday, He became tired, so He rested on Saturday, and there was no creation on Saturday. This is according to the claim of the Jews. Yes.
"And for what reason did you ***exaggerate*** in negation and denial of attributes by leaps?"
It appears that "al-qafazan" is the plural of "qafiz," and the qafiz is much larger than the sa'. Meaning, are you as if you ate with the full measure regarding affirmation and not negation? Regarding negation.

لم يلد ولم يولدAnd We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness.
ولقد خلقنا السماوات والأرض وما بينهما في ستة أيام وما مسنا من لغوبand there touched Us no weariness.
وما مسنا من لغوبand there touched Us no weariness.
