On the statement in Surat al-Mujadilah: {And there is nothing less than that or more, except that He is with them wherever they are}. Can we respond to the people of *hulul* (incarnation) by saying that the *mu'ayyah* (companionship) is companionship of knowledge?

The questioner : May Allah reward you. Some people respond to *hulul* (incarnation) and *ittihad* (union) by citing the verse from Surat al-Mujadilah, saying that the context of the verse indicates that the *mu'ayyah* (companionship) is companionship of knowledge, because it begins with knowledge and ends with knowledge?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is an indication that the intended meaning of *mu'ayyah* (companionship) here is its implications.
The questioner : So, is the answer correct, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : It is acceptable, but it is not entirely sound, because even if we say His knowledge is everywhere, there is a problem with that. Yes.
Is it sound, Salim?
