Is there any of the Salaf who began with the attribute of the religions?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... he said ... .

The Shaykh : I do not know of any of the Salaf, but among the Khalaf there is one who began with it, and he said that this is from the category of contrast, and it is not a reality in the case of Allah. But he said it is from the category of contrast, like his saying
So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you فَمَنِ اعتَدى عَلَيكُم فَاعتَدوا عَلَيهِ بِمِثلِ مَا اعتَدى عَلَيكُم
[Al-Baqarah 2:194]
, even though taking revenge is not called aggression. However, the safer course is to say that this is an attribute by which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) described his Lord, so we affirm it for Allah as the Messenger affirmed it. But if the hadith points to it, the hadith contains the possibility of the transmitted report that I told you about, but it is contrary to the apparent meaning. Yes, three? Two? Yes.
