And we do not deny that some of them have a good intention in what they have adopted, and the truth has been hidden from them in it.

The Shaykh :"And we do not deny that some of them have a good intention in what they have adopted, and the truth has been hidden from them in it" I do not think that Ibn Hajar or al-Nawawi ever intend to oppose the command of Allah and His Messenger. I do not think that. I also do not think that their distortion of the texts regarding the attributes is anything other than out of good intention, based on what I know of their eagerness for the Shari'ah, its preservation, and its clarification through the great books they have authored, which Allah has granted acceptance. However, the good intention of the speaker is not sufficient for the acceptance of the statement.
