Third: That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his Rightly Guided Caliphs, his Companions, and the Salaf of the Ummah and its imams
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"Third, among the necessary implications is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his Rightly Guided Caliphs, his Companions, and the Salaf of the Ummah and its imams were deficient or negligent in knowing and clarifying what is obligatory for Allah the Exalted in terms of attributes, or what is impossible for Him, or what is permissible for Him. This is because not a single word has been reported from them regarding what the people of ta'til (denial of the divine attributes) have adopted concerning the attributes of Allah the Exalted, which they have called ta'wil (figurative interpretation)" It is correct. We say to the people of ta'wil who deny the attributes: Where is the path in the speech of the Messenger or the Companions? If the truth is in what you say, it necessarily follows that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), his Rightly Guided Caliphs, the rest of the Companions, and the imams were either deficient or negligent. It must be one of the two: either they were deficient and did not reach the correct meaning, or they were negligent and did not clarify the correct meaning to the people. So the methodology of ta'wil (figurative interpretation) does not exist, neither in the speech of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), nor in the speech of the Companions, nor in the speech of those who followed them in excellence, nor in the speech of the imams of the Salaf. They are either deficient or negligent; it must be one of these. And both are invalid with regard to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Companions, and the imams. Yes.
"Regarding what the people of ta'til (denial of the divine attributes) have adopted concerning the attributes of Allah the Exalted, which they have called ta'wil (figurative interpretation). And thus, either the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his Rightly Guided Caliphs, and the Salaf of the Ummah and its imams were deficient due to their ignorance of it and their inability to know it, or they were negligent for not clarifying it to the Ummah. And both of these matters are invalid" I think this aspect is clear, very clear. Although one aspect is sufficient, but the more the evidence accumulates, the stronger the intended meaning becomes.
