Affirming that Allah has two eyes.

The Shaykh : Well then, we believe that Allah the Exalted has an eye, but the word here, as you see, is in the plural form. Do we affirm that Allah has many eyes, or what? We say no, we do not affirm that Allah has many eyes. This is why not a single letter from the Salaf has come that indicates this meaning. The plural here is like the plural in
The student: our hands.

The Shaykh : our hands, meaning it is for magnification; it is for magnification. And the authentic hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) indicates that Allah has only two eyes when He described the Dajjal and said: And in another wording We brought this wording because some people say "one-eyed" meaning "defective," meaning "defective," and not because of the blindness of the eye. This is undoubtedly a distortion and a rejection of the correct wording found in al-Bukhari and others: This is clear, and "one-eyed" is not said in the Arabic language except for the blindness of the eye. However, if "blindness" or "defect" is said, it may be intended to mean any kind of defect. This hadith indicates that Allah the Exalted has only two eyes. The point of indication is that if Allah had more than one eye, the clarification by it would be clearer than the clarification by "one-eyed." Because when the Companions said, "Explain to us, O Messenger of Allah, the Dajjal," the Dajjal says that he is He said If Allah had more than one eye, He would have said: Because if He had more than two eyes, it would be clear that the Dajjal is not a Lord.
The student: Make it clearer.

The Shaykh : More, or not? More. And also, if Allah the Glorious and Exalted had more than one eye
The student: than two eyes.

The Shaykh : I mean more than two eyes, then mentioning it would not cause us to miss the praise of Allah, because multiplicity indicates strength, perfection, and completeness. So if Allah had more than two eyes, the Messenger (may the prayer and peace of Allah be upon him) would have clarified them so that we would not miss believing in this perfection, which is in addition to what?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : to the two eyes. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned a hadith in *Al-Sawa'iq al-Mursalah*, but it is weak due to its broken chain, and it is: And this is a dual form But the hadith is weak, and our reliance in this creed is on the authentic hadith, the hadith of the Dajjal, because it is clear to whoever reflects on it. And Uthman ibn Sa'id al-Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) affirmed this in his refutation of the stubborn disbeliever. Also, Ibn Khuzaymah mentioned it in his book *Al-Tawhid*, and Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari (may Allah have mercy on him) and Abu Bakr al-Baqillani also mentioned the consensus of the Salaf on this. The matter is clear in this, and Shaykh al-Islam and Ibn al-Qayyim also transmitted what they transmitted from these scholars and approved of it and did not deny it. So our creed by which we profess our faith to Allah is that Allah the Exalted has two eyes, with no addition.
