Note that this book is a chainless fabrication attributed to al-Shaykh al-Muwaffaq Ibn Qudāmaħ al-Maqdisī al-Ḥanbalī, قدس الله روحه.

In reality, Wahhābīs themselves admit that Ibn Qudāmaħ was inclined to ʾAshʿarism!

〔🧵〕 The muḥaqqiq (perfectionist) of al-Manhaj al-Ṣaḥīḥ said:

“He who inspects the Aforementioned Speech of Ibn Rajab and some of the Works of al-Muwaffaq will notice that he (i.e., Ibn Qudāmaħ) was influenced by the Approach of the ʾAshāʿiraħ, especially—

A common [and baseless] fantasy propagated by Barelvis is the notion that there exists a legitimate disagreement among ʾAhl al-Sunnah regarding the knowledge of the Keys of the Unseen.

Al-Muḥkam and al-Mutashābih・🧵

I will be presenting some quotes of the Ḥanābilah regarding al-Muḥkam and al-Mutashābih in this thread, by the permission of Allāh (سبحانه وتعالى). ʾImām Ibn Mufliḥ al-Ḥanbalī (رضي الله عنه) said:

Al-Muḥkam is that which is clear in meaning and does not need any further elucidation, and al-Mutashābih is its opposite, due to an association or summation. The vast majority of our ʾAṣḥāb (the Ḥanābilah) and those-

Shaykh al-ʾIslām Ibn Qudāmah al-Maqdisī al-Ḥanbalī (رضي الله عنه) said:

Some of the Qadarīyyah (a sect who deny the Qadr of Allāh) took the opinion that the laymen are required to look at the evidences in Furūʿ (the branches of the religion, i.e. issues of Fiqh) too. But this- is false by the consensus of the Ṣaḥābah, for indeed they used to give verdicts to the laymen, and wouldn't order them to reach the level of ʾIjtihād, and this is something known by necessity and by Tawātur from their scholars and laymen. And because consensus has been-
