Explanation of the author's statement: "Unlike those who say about Him what they do not know"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, he says: "Unlike those who say about Him what they do not know". Those who say about Allah what they do not know—are they truthful? Who are they? These are liars, or at the very least, we say: these are misguided, because they said what they do not know.
And it seems the author is referring to the people of distortion, because the people of distortion said about Allah what they do not know in two ways: they said: He did not intend such and such, and what is that? And He intended such and such. So they said what they do not know in both negation and affirmation.
For example, they said: He did not intend the real face. Well, how do you know? What informed you? So they said about Allah what they do not know by what? By negation. They said: No, no, He does not intend this. Then they said: And what is intended by the face is the reward. So they said about Allah what they do not know in affirmation. They said about Allah what they do not know in two ways: negation and affirmation. Are those who say about Allah what they do not know truthful, believed? Absolutely not. They are not truthful, not believed, and not believers. Rather, the evidence has established that they are liars, disbelieved, by what Satan inspired to them.
