The Translation of al-'Alaf and Ibn Sina
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : As for the head of the Mu'tazilah, it is 'Amr ibn 'Ubayd, not 'Amr ibn 'Ubayd and Wasil ibn 'Ata. Yes, that is correct.
The student: He denied the sacred attributes. He took the doctrine of the Mu'tazilah from Uthman ibn Khalid al-Tawil, the student of Wasil ibn 'Ata al-Ghazal.
The Shaykh : What a poor chain.
The student: And he lived beyond ninety years and passed away in the year 227.
The Shaykh : What?
The student: Passed away.
The Shaykh : Passed away?
The student: In the year 227, and it is said he remained until the year 235. He took from him...
The Shaykh : "Passed away" is one of your expressions, oh...
The student: No...
The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah, this is not his custom. Yes.
The student: He remained until the year 235. 'Ali ibn Yasin and others of the imams of the Mu'tazilah took from him...
The Shaykh : But anyway, that is enough. Well done.
The student: Ibn Sina is Abu 'Ali al-Hasan ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Sina, and he is called the Prince. Al-Ghazali declared him a disbeliever in three matters: the claim of the eternity of the world, the denial of bodily resurrection, and that Allah does not know particulars. It is said that he repented at the time of death. He died in the year 428 and was fifty-eight years old.
The Shaykh : Well done. May Allah reward you.
The principle is that what was is to remain as it was. This is the principle. And Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah declared him a disbeliever, and Ibn al-Qayyim also declared him a disbeliever, and they said that he is a disbeliever. There is no doubt in the disbelief of the one who denies bodily resurrection. This is the speech of the polytheists. If this is confirmed, if it comes to us with a chain of narration, otherwise it is not accepted. Because a group of people engaged in defending him, so it is not accepted unless it comes with a sound chain. If this will comes to us with a sound chain to him, we will say, praise be to Allah, that he repented, so Allah accepted his repentance.
