Is the methodology of the Salaf the delegation of meanings and modality?

Question:
There are some books in the markets and libraries that assert that the methodology of the Salaf is the delegation of meanings and modality?

Answer:
No, it is the delegation of modality only. The one who says: delegation of meanings, is wrong. The methodology of the Salaf is the delegation of modality. We know the meaning of "the Most Merciful," and we know the meaning of "the Bestower of Mercy," and we know the meaning of "the All-Hearing," and we know the meaning of "the All-Seeing," and we know the meaning of "the Mighty" and "the Wise," but we do not know the modality: How is His mercy? How did He rise above the Throne? How is His knowledge? We do not know the modality. These are called: the Mu'awwidah, and it is an invalid methodology.
