The questioner : The action attributes, in terms of their genus, are essential. Why did the Shaykh single out speech from among the other attributes?
The Shaykh : No, because speech is the point of contention between the people of the Sunnah and the people of innovation. In fact, nothing has tested the people of the Sunnah like speech. Yes, Salim.
The questioner : May Allah forgive you, O Shaykh. Regarding the increase, O Shaykh, does an increase in the creation result in a deficiency? Have you seen, O Shaykh, a person whose feet have six toes? Glory to Allah the Great. Everyone who sees this recognizes it as part of the wisdom of Allah. Glory to Allah the Great. The one who sees it...
The Shaykh : And what do they do?
The student: I tell him he has six toes...
The Shaykh : That is correct, because it is contrary to the norm.
The student: Yes, and it is also a divine wisdom, Glory to Allah the Great, in which no one can act. Glory to Allah the Great.
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.
