▪️And from this angle is what the callers of Muwazinaat, those that establish the same thing which our brother, the owner of this fatwa is establishing in his principle:
What has come from some of the Imams of the Salaf of rebuking one and other regarding some of the recitations of the Qur'aan.
And similarly what has come from Al-Qaadhi Shurayh, may Allah have mercy upon him, and he is an Imam of the Imams, where he rebukes the Attribute of (Amazement) which has come in a recitation which is authentic mutawaatir, Shaykh-Ul-Islam may Allah have mercy upon him clarified that it being mutawaatir wasn't established with those that rebuked it, he said:
"Al-Qaadhi Shurayh rebuked the recitation of those that recited
(بَلْ عَجِبْتُ)
"Nay, I was Amazed"
And they said Allah doesn't become amazed, this reached Ibrahim An-Nakha'i, and he said:
Shurayh is only a poet, who fancies his knowledge, 'Abdullah was more knowledgeable than him, and he would say:
(بَلْ عَجِبْتُ)
"Nay, I was Amazed"
He has rejected an established recitation, and he rebuked an Attribution which the Book and the Sunnah point towards, and the Ummah unanimously agreed upon that he is an Imam from the Imams, and similarly some of the Salaf rebuked some of the recitations of the Qur'aan ... and this is a mistake which is known by unanimous agreement and mutawaatir relayment.
With this as it wasn't mutawaatir with them they didn't disbelieve, even though the one who the binding evidence that it was mutawaatir was established upon him, would disbelieve, and also the Book and the Sunnah point towards that Allaah does not punish anyone except after the message has been relayed to them, so those that didn't have nothing reach them are not punished at all, and those that have had it reach them but not the intracies, they're not punished except for rejecting what has become established with them of the binding evidence of the message.
And this is the like the statement of the Most High:
(رُّسُلًا مُّبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ حُجَّةٌۢ بَعْدَ ٱلرُّسُلِۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا)
"Messengers as bearers of good news as well as of warning in order that mankind should have no plea against Allah after the Messengers. And Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise."
[An-Nisaa':165]
Majmuu' Al-Fataawa (13/493).
This is exactly what has been previously established, and Shaykh-Ul-Islam spoke the truth:
(This is a great foundation so ponder over it for verily it is beneficial)
And from what's affirmed with certainty and is unanimously agreed upon is that the Salaf were upon one thing in the subject matter of Names and Attributes, and there isn't any differing and opposition betweent them in this, all of them leave the legislative texts upon their apparent, and they believe in what it includes of meanings without delving into the how, nor drawing complete comparisons, nor distorting nor negating.
Whoever claims other than this is a liar, fabricator, declared as such by the people of knowledge, and I have relayed their speech in the establishment of this in my book "Bayaan...".
