رد: Allah’s Names and Attributes Along with this, we affirm that Allah Almighty directs these hearts as He wills as mentioned in the Hadؤ«th. Therefore, we say: “Oh Allah, Who directs the hearts, direct our hearts toward obeying You.”
The seventh and last example:“The Black Stone is Allah’s Right Hand on the earth.”The people of Ta’wؤ«l say: You apply Ta’wؤ«l to this Hadؤ«th, since you cannot say that the Stone is Allah’s Hand.We say: this is true, for none can claim that the Black Stone is the Hand of Allah, the Exalted and Glorified.But, before we answer this, we have to clarify that this Hadؤ«th is false, as it is not authentically attributed to the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). Ibn Al-‘Arabi said about it: This is a false Hadؤ«th.Ibn Al-Jawzi also said in his book Al-‘Ilal Al-Mutanؤپhiyah: This Hadؤ«th is not authentic.Also, Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “It is reported from the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) with an inauthentic chain of narrators.”Therefore, the Hadؤ«th is not accepted by Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jamؤپ‘ah for it is not authentically attributed to the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him).But Shaykh al-Islam added: The Hadؤ«th is known to be attributed to Ibn ‘Abbؤپs;nevertheless, it does not denote the meaning suggested by those people: that the Black Stone is Allah’s Right Hand. That is because he said:“Allah’s Right Hand on the earth.”So, this is a qualified statement . Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “Qualified speech is not like unqualified speech. He did not say that it is Allah’s Right Hand without any qualification; rather, he added the qualifying words: ’on the earth’. It is quite known that Allah’s Right Hand is not on the earth.”He also said in the same Hadؤ«th – as reported by Ibn Taymiyyah –:“So whoever touches it, it is as if he shakes hand with Allah.”The simile indicates that they are not the same thing, but that they are separate entities.In conclusion: By Allah’s favor, it is impossible that Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jamؤپ‘ah interpret the speech beyond its apparent meaning, because the apparent and true meaning of the speech is what is indicated by the context,and it varies according to the context and situations.If someone, however, insists on interpreting a term literally, then we say that Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jamؤپ‘ah never admit such literal interpretation unless there is evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah to support this.Whenever the Qur’an and Sunnah prove something, it is obligatory to adopt it, whether or not it agrees with what is said to be the apparent indication of the term.We all pursue what Allah said about Himself and what His Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said about Him. For example, Allah Almighty says in an authentic Hadؤ«th reported in Sahؤ«h Muslim:“O My slave! I was hungry, but you did not feed Me...O My slave! I was sick, but you did not visit me... so he says: ‘How can I feed You when You are the Lord of the worlds?! How can I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds?!’ Allah then says: ‘Did you not know that my slave was hungry, but you did not give him food, and that he was sick, but you did not visit him?’”This Hadؤ«th explicitly indicates that whatever attributes Allah ascribes to Himself in the Qur’an and the Sunnah is true as understood from its apparent meaning, unless explained otherwise by a text reported from Allah or His Messenger, in which case we adopt the explanation reported from Allah and His Messenger.
“The Black Stone is Allah’s Right Hand on the earth.”
The people of Ta’wؤ«l say: You apply Ta’wؤ«l to this Hadؤ«th, since you cannot say that the Stone is Allah’s Hand.
We say: this is true, for none can claim that the Black Stone is the Hand of Allah, the Exalted and Glorified.
But, before we answer this, we have to clarify that this Hadؤ«th is false, as it is not authentically attributed to the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). Ibn Al-‘Arabi said about it: This is a false Hadؤ«th.
Ibn Al-Jawzi also said in his book Al-‘Ilal Al-Mutanؤپhiyah: This Hadؤ«th is not authentic.
Also, Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “It is reported from the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) with an inauthentic chain of narrators.”
Therefore, the Hadؤ«th is not accepted by Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jamؤپ‘ah for it is not authentically attributed to the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him).
But Shaykh al-Islam added: The Hadؤ«th is known to be attributed to Ibn ‘Abbؤپs;
nevertheless, it does not denote the meaning suggested by those people: that the Black Stone is Allah’s Right Hand. That is because he said:
“Allah’s Right Hand on the earth.”
So, this is a qualified statement . Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “Qualified speech is not like unqualified speech. He did not say that it is Allah’s Right Hand without any qualification; rather, he added the qualifying words: ’on the earth’. It is quite known that Allah’s Right Hand is not on the earth.”
He also said in the same Hadؤ«th – as reported by Ibn Taymiyyah –:
“So whoever touches it, it is as if he shakes hand with Allah.”
The simile indicates that they are not the same thing, but that they are separate entities.
In conclusion: By Allah’s favor, it is impossible that Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jamؤپ‘ah interpret the speech beyond its apparent meaning, because the apparent and true meaning of the speech is what is indicated by the context,
and it varies according to the context and situations.
If someone, however, insists on interpreting a term literally, then we say that Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jamؤپ‘ah never admit such literal interpretation unless there is evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah to support this.
Whenever the Qur’an and Sunnah prove something, it is obligatory to adopt it, whether or not it agrees with what is said to be the apparent indication of the term.
We all pursue what Allah said about Himself and what His Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said about Him. For example, Allah Almighty says in an authentic Hadؤ«th reported in Sahؤ«h Muslim:
“O My slave! I was hungry, but you did not feed Me...O My slave! I was sick, but you did not visit me... so he says: ‘How can I feed You when You are the Lord of the worlds?! How can I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds?!’ Allah then says: ‘Did you not know that my slave was hungry, but you did not give him food, and that he was sick, but you did not visit him?’”
This Hadؤ«th explicitly indicates that whatever attributes Allah ascribes to Himself in the Qur’an and the Sunnah is true as understood from its apparent meaning, unless explained otherwise by a text reported from Allah or His Messenger, in which case we adopt the explanation reported from Allah and His Messenger.
This last Hadؤ«th is a crystal clear proof of the banning of Ta’wؤ«l that lacks proof from the Qu’ran and the Sunnah, and perhaps it is suitable to suffice with these examples for the sake of brevity.
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all his Companions. |
