How did we say that the special companionship is with respect to persons and with respect to attributes, when Allah's rulings are linked to attributes?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, the types of companionship: companionship is encompassing and threatening... it is either for an attribute or for a person. But we took the position that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) always links His rulings to attributes, not to a specific person in and of himself.
The Shaykh : Ah
The questioner : So, victory and support: when we divided it into attribute and person, some might understand that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) gave victory to this specific person.
The Shaykh : No, no, we limited it to examples. We said, like the saying of Allah the Exalted to Musa and Harun, and His saying to our Prophet. We limited it to examples, so that His special companionship with the person—Musa, Harun, and Muhammad—
The questioner : is for his attribute.
The Shaykh : is for his attribute.
The questioner : So, it is all attribute.
The Shaykh : No, no, there is a difference between an attribute in a specific person
The questioner : and an absolute attribute.
The Shaykh : and an absolute attribute. Yes.
The Shaykh : Ah
The questioner : So, victory and support: when we divided it into attribute and person, some might understand that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) gave victory to this specific person.
The Shaykh : No, no, we limited it to examples. We said, like the saying of Allah the Exalted to Musa and Harun, and His saying to our Prophet. We limited it to examples, so that His special companionship with the person—Musa, Harun, and Muhammad—

The Shaykh : No, no, there is a difference between an attribute in a specific person
The questioner : and an absolute attribute.
The Shaykh : and an absolute attribute. Yes.
