Commentary on Tafsir al-Jalalayn: ((Those who argue about the verses of Allah)) His miracles, the subject ((without any authority)) proof ((has come to them arrogance))

The Shaykh : His saying: Arguing is disputing and debating in order to silence the opponent, derived from the twisting of a rope, meaning its twisting; for when a rope is twisted, it becomes firm and stronger. So you find the one who argues becomes firm and stubborn in order to overcome his opponent.
And his saying: The author, the commentator, said: "His miracles" and the correct thing to say is: the verses of Allah, meaning the signs indicating what He, (Exalted and Majestic is He), deserves in terms of lordship, worship, names and attributes, rulings, and so on. This is what is intended. It has passed us that it is not befitting to call the verses miracles, because that is a deficiency in expression and does not specify the meaning, and perhaps the actions of sorcerers and magicians would be included in it because it is a miracle.
And his saying: Are they arguing to affirm the verses or to deny the verses? The latter is without doubt. For this reason he said: Because if they were arguing to affirm the verses and acknowledge them, they would have been upon authority.
And his saying: The author said: "Proof" meaning without evidence. This is because authority is everything by which power is established, and it varies according to the context. The Grand Imam is called the Sultan because he has power, and evidence is called authority because the one who takes it has power. Accordingly, the meaning of his saying: is: without evidence.
