The Shaykh :"And as for the two groups who suspended judgment, they are:
First: A group who held it permissible that the intended meaning of the texts of attributes is to affirm an attribute befitting Allah, and that the intended meaning is not that.
And the second group: They turned away with their hearts and tongues from all of this, and did not go beyond reading the Qur'an and the hadith".
These two groups are those who suspended judgment. How did they suspend judgment? What is the difference between them? The difference is that the first group says: It is possible or permissible that the intended meaning is to affirm an attribute, and it is permissible that the intended meaning is not to affirm an attribute. So they rule on the permissibility of both matters.
As for the second group: They say, "We do not address the meaning at all. We read the Qur'an and the hadith, and we hold back our hearts and tongues from addressing what the Qur'an and the Sunnah indicate."
- Pay attention, my brother - Is the difference between them clear now?
The first group says: We are suspending judgment, because we see that it is permissible that the intended meaning is to affirm attributes, and it is permissible that the intended meaning is the absence of that. Allah knows best.
The second group says: Turn away from all of this. Do not speak. Do not say it is permissible or not permissible. Do not affirm or deny.
