The Sixth Aspect: In Refuting the Methodology of the People of Denial of Attributes: It entails false consequences, and the falsity of the consequence indicates the falsity of the premise.

The Shaykh : Now, "The Sixth Aspect: In Refuting the Methodology of the People of Denial of Attributes: It entails false consequences, and the falsity of the consequence indicates the falsity of the premise". We added to the discussion of the People of Denial of Attributes because Muslims have been afflicted by them in reality. There are the Mu'tazilah, there are the Jahmiyyah, and there are the Asha'irah, and they are numerous. Therefore, we must have a reserve, if you will, to defend against these people, or if you will, to attack these people. And praise be to Allah, the matter is clear, clear, and apparent. And the minds have no control, no judgment, and no arbitration in this chapter.
"Among these consequences:
First: The People of Denial of Attributes did not divert the texts of the attributes from their apparent meaning except where they believed it entailed or suggested likening Allah the Exalted to His creation. And likening Allah the Exalted to His creation". They did not divert them from their apparent meaning except that they thought they entailed likening Allah to His creation or suggested it. If they believe that it entails likening, this is to ward off likening from themselves. And if they see that it suggests it, even if it does not indicate likening, this is so that no one suspects that it entails likening. And in the creed of the Asha'irah:
"And every text that suggests likening *** its beginning, or he delegated it and threw it to transcendence"
This statement of his is true, but it is false in terms of what he intends, because he intends that all the texts of the affirmed attributes suggest likening. Now.
He said: "And likening Allah to His creation is disbelief, because it is a denial of His saying:

There is nothing like unto Him

ليس كمثله شيء

[Ash-Shuraa 42:11]

Na'im ibn Hammad al-Khuzai, one of the teachers of al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on both of them), said: 'Whoever likens Allah to His creation has committed disbelief'". Why? Because he is denying Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). And denying Allah and His Messenger is disbelief, there is no doubt in this.
