[QUOTE]Originally posted by Somewhere in the sands: [QB] Proof from the Qur'an and Sunnah that the Attributes of Allah are to be taken literally As for the Qur'an: Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) says, “Surely We have made it an Arabic Qur’an that you may understand.” (Az-Zukhruf: 3) As for the Sunnah: 1). On the authority of Abi Yunus Saleem bin Jabeer, Mawlah of Abu Hurayrah that he said, “I heard Abu Hurayrah reciting the verse, “Surely Allah commands you to make over trusts..” until, “surely Allah is Seeing, Hearing” (Annisa’a: 58) He said, “I saw the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) put his hand on his ears and eye.” Abu Hurayrah (radhiallahu ‘an) said, “I saw the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) recite this verse and do that.” (Abu Dawood, Ibn Khuzaymah, Ibn Habban, At-tabarani, Ibn Mindah) Ibn Yunus said, that Al-Muqre’e said, “Surely Allah is Seeing, Hearing, means that Allah sees and hears.” Abu Dawood said, “And this is a refutation of the Jahmees.” In this hadeeth we see that the attributes of Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) are to be taken literally. This doesn’t mean that Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) is similar to the creation, He is above that. As Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) said, “there is nothing whatever like unto Him, and He is the One that hears and sees” So He affirms hearing and seeing to himself, while negating that it is like any creation. 2). On Ubaydallah bin Maqsim that he was looking at Abdullah bin ‘Umar talking about how the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) talked and said, “Allah (Azza Wa Jal) will take the heavens and earth with his hands and will say, “I am Allah” and he will straighten his fingers and then constrict them, and then say, “I am the King” when I looked to the pulpit I saw it shaking because of something moving under it, to the point that I said it will not fall with the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ) standing on it” (Muslim) From this we see the affirmation of Allah clenching and straightening his fingers without comparing it to that of the creation. 3). In a long hadeeth on the authority of Abdullah bin Mas’ood (radhiallahu ‘an) that the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said in the end of this hadeeth, “The slave asks Allah to enter him into Jannah, Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) says, “Would you be happy if I gave you from Jannah similar to the earth and what is in it?” The slave says, “Do you mock me and you are the Mighty Lord”—the narrator then says that Abdullah bin Mas’ood then laughs, and then says, “Why don’t you ask me why I am laughing?” They said, “Why did you laugh?” Ibn Mas’ood said, “The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) laughed, then said to us, “Why don’t you ask me why I am laughing?” We said, “Why are you laughing of Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam)?” He (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said, “Allah laughs when this person says, “Do you mock me and you are the Mighty Lord?” (Ahmad, Abu Awanah, Abu Yahla, Ashaashe, Attabarani, Al hHkim) This hadeeth shows the literalness of Allah’s laughing. 4). On the authority of Jabir (radhiallahu ‘an) that the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) used to increase in saying, “Oh changer of the hearts, make my heart firm on your religion.” Some of the Sahaba said to the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam), “Do you fear for us after we believed in you, and what you brought?” He said, “Indeed the heart is between 2 fingers from the fingers of Allah (Azza Wa Jal)” he said like this, and Abu Ahmad moved his fingers. (Abu Ya’lah, Tabare, Addarqatne, ibn Minda) This shows the literalness of Allah’s fingers. 5). On the authority of Hammad bin Salama that he said, “The fingers have been affirmed on the authority of Anis bin Malik on the Prophet when Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) said, “And when his Lord appeared to the mountain.” He said, “Like this” And he showed a piece of his little finger. My father said that Mu’adh related this to us, and Hameed Attaaweel said to him, “What do you want from this oh Abu Muhammad--- or, does this confirm the fingers?” He said so he hit him in his chest with a powerful blow and said, “And who are you oh Hameed? And what are you oh Hameed? Anis bin Malik relates this to me on the authority of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) and you say, “What do you want from this?!” 6). On Abbas (radhiallahu ‘an) that he said, “A Jew passed by the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) and the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said to him, “Oh Jew, tell us something.” So the Jew said, “What do you say Abu Qasim about when Allah takes the heavens on this, the earth on this, the water on this, the mountains on this, and all of the creation on this.” And Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Assilt pointed to his little finger for the first one then to the next finger until he reached the thumb. And Allah revealed, “No just estimate have they made of Allah, such as is due to Him.” (Tirmidhee classified it as strange but authentic, Ahmad, Ibn Khuzama and others) And Abdullah said in “Assunnah” I heard my father may Allah have mercy on him say, “Yahya bin Sa’eid told us of the hadeeth of Sufyan on Al ‘Amash on Mansoor on Ibraheem on Abeed on Abdullah on the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) that he said, “Indeed Allah holds the heavens on his fingers.” My father may Allah have mercy on him said, “Yahya showed us with his fingers, going from finger to finger until he reached the last one.” (Bukhari and Muslim) These affirm that Allah has fingers, as well as their literalness, without comparing them to the fingers of the creation. 7). Harith bin Suwayd said, “I entered on Abdullah while he was sick, he gave us two talks, one about himself, and the other a hadeeth on the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) where he said, “Allah is happier with repentance of his slave than a person who is in the desert, and with him is his animal which has all his food and drink, so he sleeps, and when he wakes he finds his animal gone, then he looks for it and finally stops from thirst and says, “I will return to my former place and sleep until I die.” So he puts his head down to die, and when he wakes he sees his animal with his food and drink still on it. So Allah is happier with the repentance of his slave, than this man would be with finding his animal.” (Bukhari and Muslim) And this hadeeth affirms the attribute of happiness to Allah, and shows its literalness. 8). Abu Razeen (radhiallahu 'an) said, "The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said, "Our lord laughs from His slaves' desperateness although His relief is near." I said, "Oh Messenger, the Lord laughs?" He said, "Yes." I said: "We will never miss out on goodness from a lord who laughs" (Ahmad, Ibn Majah, Ateyalsee, and others) From this we know that the companion understood the attribute of Allah laughing and its literalness, and it shows good and mercy. 9). On Jabir (radhiallahu ‘an) in the long hadeeth about the Prophet’s (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) Hajj, from the speech on Arafah he said, “And indeed I left for you something of which you will not be misguided if you held to it, the Book of Allah, and you ask from me, so what will you do?” They said, “We bear witness that you gave us the message and advised us.” So he said while pointing his index finger to the sky, “Oh Allah bear witness, Oh Allah bear witness.” three times. (Muslim) This hadeeth proves that Allah is above the heavens with the pointing of the Prophet towards the sky. Source: الأشاعرة في ميزان أهل السنة لفيصل الجاسم [/QB][/QUOTE]
