I asked Az-Zuhree (50H-124H) and Makhool about the ayaat pertaining to the sifaat (Attributes of Allaah), so they said, ‘Leave them as they are.‘ (1)
Al-Waleed Ibn Muslim (d. 194) said,
I asked (Imaam) Maalik, Al-Awzaa’ee, Imaam Layth Ibn Sa’d, and Sufyaan Ath-Thawree, may Allaah have mercy upon them, concerning the reports relted about the Attributes, so they all said, “Leave them as they are without asking ‘how’,“. (2)
Imaam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal said,
These hadeeth should be left as they are… We affirm them and we do not make any similitude for them. This is what has been agreed upon by the scholars.” (3)
Nu’aym Ibn Hammaad (d. 228) said:
“Whoever makes tashbeeh (resemblance) of Allaah to his creation has committed kufr (disbelief). And whoever denies what Allaah has described himself with has also committed kufr. Indeed, all that Allaah has described himself with, or what His Messenger has described Him with – then there is notashbeeh in it at all.” (4)
