What is your response to those who say that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) neglected explaining the manner?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A speaker said that they intended... (peace and blessings be upon him) neglected explaining...?

The Shaykh : No, no, they do not say that, they do not say that. It is true that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not explain the manner, because no one is able to encompass it. And if we had been obligated to know the manner, we would have been obligated to do what we are not capable of. And Allah says:
but they do not encompass it in knowledge. لا يحيطون به علما
[Taha 20:110]
This is a negation, not a prohibition; it is a negation. Therefore, it is not possible to encompass Allah (Mighty and Majestic). But they do not want this; they want the meaning. They want the meaning. The people of tafwid (delegation) want to delegate the meaning; they do not know its meaning, whereas... is known.
