Imam Razi's "repentance".
1. Razi still holds on to the basic Ashari positions on Sıfat.
2. No Ashari on this planet today or in the existence of history ever believed that their books are in any shape or form superior to the Quran. Because that would be heresy.

And Asharis for obvious reasons disagree with that assertion.
But the fact is the Hanbalis did paraphrase the Wasiyya and left out some key points.

And as I have shown above his Wasiyya clearly suggests that he holds on to the basic positions that are taught to beginner Asharis even today.
So the whole deathbed repentance from Asharism narrative has some *holes* in it.
