The Shaykh :"And if it indicates a non-transitive attribute, it entails two things:
The first is the establishment of that name for Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
The second is the establishment of the attribute it contains for Allah (Mighty and Majestic)" — And what was dropped from the first part? The establishment of the ruling, which is the implication — "An example of this is 'Al-Hayy' (The Living), which entails affirming 'Al-Hayy' as a name for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and affirming life as an attribute for Him", but not 'Al-Qawi' (The Strong), yes, it is like it because it is a necessary attribute. 'Al-Qadir' (The All-Powerful) is in between because it is transitive with 'ala' (upon), yes, so it is possible that it is from the necessary attributes and it is possible that it is from the transitive attributes, yes. And therefore Allah the Exalted said:.
If someone says: How do you say that 'Al-Hayy' (The Living) is not transitive, while Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) said:?
The answer is that 'Yahyī' (gives life) and 'Yumītu' (causes death) are not derived from His being 'Hayy' (Living), but rather they are derived from His being 'Muhayyī' (The Giver of Life). And the difference between this and that is clear, my brothers. And by Allah, I do not know about you; the answer is a bit weak, it is clear, yes. And therefore you say: 'Hayya al-rajul' (The man became alive), meaning he became what? 'Hayyā' (alive), meaning he became one who has life. And you say: 'Ahyā al-rajul ardhahu bi al-zira'ah' (The man gave life to his land through agriculture), and the active participle is 'Muhayyī' (The Giver of Life). So based on this, we say that 'Al-Hayy' (The Living) is among the names of Allah, a necessary name that is not transitive to other than Allah.
Now, is 'Al-Hayy' (The Living) among the names of Allah of the same type as 'Al-Hayy' (The Living) or of the same type as 'Al-Muhayyī' (The Giver of Life)? It is of the same type as 'Al-Hayy' (The Living) because it is an attribute that is not transitive, yes.
The first is the establishment of that name for Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
The second is the establishment of the attribute it contains for Allah (Mighty and Majestic)" — And what was dropped from the first part? The establishment of the ruling, which is the implication — "An example of this is 'Al-Hayy' (The Living), which entails affirming 'Al-Hayy' as a name for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and affirming life as an attribute for Him", but not 'Al-Qawi' (The Strong), yes, it is like it because it is a necessary attribute. 'Al-Qadir' (The All-Powerful) is in between because it is transitive with 'ala' (upon), yes, so it is possible that it is from the necessary attributes and it is possible that it is from the transitive attributes, yes. And therefore Allah the Exalted said:
And He is over all things competent
وهو على كل شيء قديرIf someone says: How do you say that 'Al-Hayy' (The Living) is not transitive, while Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) said:
who gives life and causes death
يحي ويميتThe answer is that 'Yahyī' (gives life) and 'Yumītu' (causes death) are not derived from His being 'Hayy' (Living), but rather they are derived from His being 'Muhayyī' (The Giver of Life). And the difference between this and that is clear, my brothers. And by Allah, I do not know about you; the answer is a bit weak, it is clear, yes.
