The Shaykh : Now, "And as for the impossibility of asserting falsehood regarding them, it is from two angles. The first is that falsehood cannot be supported by valid evidence", or not? I mean, it is not possible for valid evidence to be established for its truth, whereas valid evidence can be established for its falsity. But our discussion is about asserting falsehood; it is not possible for evidence to be established for the assertion of falsehood and that it is the truth.
"And it is well known that the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) are the furthest people from speaking about matters for which no valid evidence has been established, especially regarding the matter of faith in Allah the Exalted and the matters of the unseen. They are the most deserving of people to comply with the saying of Allah the Exalted" and so on. The Companions are the furthest people from speaking about what has no valid evidence, especially regarding the matter of faith in Allah and the Last Day, because this is among the matters of the unseen in which a person cannot speak except with truth, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Isra 17:36] What is the meaning of "do not pursue it"? Do not follow it and speak with it. And His saying [Al-A'raf 7:33] The point in the last phrase is: "And that you say about Allah that which you do not know."
