"And the Salaf, the people of the Sunnah and the community, apply these texts according to their apparent meaning and the reality of their meaning befitting Allah (Mighty and Majestic), without asking how an attribute is or comparing Allah to creation"

The Shaykh :"And the Salaf, the people of the Sunnah and the community, apply these texts according to their apparent meaning and the reality of their meaning befitting Allah (Mighty and Majestic), without asking how an attribute is or comparing Allah to creation".
And this, praise be to Allah, is an established principle, argued for with the Book, the Sunnah, and reason, and it has passed before you, has it not? Good.
"Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said in his explanation of the hadith of the descent, page 466, volume 5 of Majmu' al-Fatawa: 'As for His own nearness and His drawing close to some of His servants, this is affirmed by the one who affirms that the voluntary actions are performed by Himself, and His coming on the Day of Resurrection and His descent'" Is there a missing part in your copy? Yes.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh :"This is affirmed by the one who affirms that the voluntary actions are performed by Himself, in your copy?"
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh: It appears there is a missing part, and Allah knows best. The fatawa should be checked. "that the voluntary actions are performed by Himself, and His coming" Who will volunteer for this? Yes, brother...
He said: "And this is the doctrine of the imams of the Salaf and the famous imams of Islam, and the people of hadith, and the transmission from them regarding this is mass-transmitted (mutawatir). So what obstacle" — this is from his words — "So what obstacle prevents saying that He draws close to His servant however He wills, despite His being above" What obstacle? If it is considered impossible for the created being, it is not impossible for the Creator, because Allah "And what obstacle prevents His coming however He wills, without asking how an attribute is or comparing Allah to creation" He comes running, He comes slowly. What obstacle prevents it? Since it is established that He comes in the Qur'an, if He comes, it must be either quickly or not quickly? What obstacle prevents it being quickly or not quickly? The answer: No obstacle. "Is this not from His perfection that He is the Doer of what He wills in the manner befitting Him?" The answer: Yes, it is so. And upon this, we apply the hadith to what? To its apparent meaning. And we say: Allah comes in reality, running, and draws close in reality, by an arm and a span. And what obstacle? Because Allah does what He wills, and this is what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) wills.
