Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said ... "And the attribute of the two eyes has not been mentioned in the Qur'an in the form of the dual", but only in the plural and the singular. "These are the forms in which the attributes of the hands and the eyes have been mentioned, and the reconciliation of these forms is to say". Know before we proceed to the reconciliation that there is no contradiction between the Book and the Sunnah, neither between parts of the Book itself, nor between parts of the Sunnah itself, nor between the Qur'an and the Sunnah, because all of it is from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and it is impossible for a contradiction to exist. If you see something that appears to be in conflict or contradiction, you must review it again and again until the way to reconcile it becomes clear to you. If it does not become clear to you, what is your position? Your position is to refer it to Allah and say, "We believe in it; all of it is from our Lord." But I tell you that there is nothing in the Qur'an and the Sunnah that appears to be in conflict for which a way of reconciliation has not been found, or an exit from this conflict has not been found. However, people differ in deriving the reconciliation for that which appears to be in conflict. The reconciliation of these forms is to say: "The singular does not contradict the dual or the plural. How does the singular not contradict the dual or the plural? Because the singular that is attributed [to Allah] is general and encompasses everything established for Allah, whether it be one hand or eye, or more". Is that clear? The singular that is attributed [to Allah] does not indicate that the intended meaning is only one, in the sense that it does not necessitate [only one]. The evidence is the saying of Allah the Exalted [An-Nahl 16:18] Here He said "the blessings of Allah" and then said "you cannot count them." So "blessing" is singular, but the plural and multitude are intended by it. For example, the eye of Allah and the hand of Allah, because they are singular, they encompass everything established for Allah of a hand or an eye. So there is no contradiction now between the singular and the dual and the plural.
