The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : The name and the attribute; this is necessary for every name. The effect means what follows from this... it is what the name necessitates.The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, it is not the case for every name. We have "the Living," which has no effect. "The Living" is an attribute that is essential to His essence and does not extend to others. But if you say "the Seeing" or "the Hearing," these extend to others; they extend to the heard in the case of "the Hearing" and to the seen in the case of "the Seeing." So the criterion is that the name which must have an effect is the transitive name. Yes.
