Series of Benefits of the Greatness of Allaah’s Attributes
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya
Part 1 How Allaah Ta’ala is Described
Muhmmad al-Hussain al-Ajjurry -Rahimahullaah- (d.360 A.H.) said:
‘Know, may Allaah give us and you the capability to be correct in statements and deeds. Indeed the people of truth describe Allaah –Azza wa Jal- with what Allaah Himself described Himself with, and with what His Messenger -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- described Him, and with what the Companions – described Him with, and this is the Madhab of the scholars of those who follow and do not innovate. Nor do they say how are Allaah’s Sifaat? In fact, they accept them.’
[Kitab Sharia’ 2/1051]

قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ: رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ: اعْلَمُوا وَفَّقَنَا اللَّهُ وَإِيَّاكُمْ لِلرَّشَادِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ وَالْعَمَلِ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْحَقِّ يَصِفُونَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِمَا وَصَفَ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ , وَبِمَا وَصَفَهُ بِهِ رَسُولُهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , وَبِمَا وَصَفَهُ بِهِ الصَّحَابَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ , وَهَذَا مَذْهَبُ الْعُلَمَاءِ مِمَّنِ اتَّبَعَ وَلَمْ يَبْتَدِعْ , وَلَا يُقَالُ فِيهِ: كَيْفَ؟ بَلِ التَّسْلِيمُ لَهُ .
