Re: Attributes of Allah - The Belief Of True Salaf
al-Khattaabee (d.338H) said "The madhab of the salaf with regards to the Attributes of Allaah is to affirm them as they are with their apparent meaning, negating any resemblance to them, nor asking how they are?" [mukhtasir al'Uluww]
Aboo Ya'laa said "the proof for the futiliy of ta'weel is that the companions, anod those who followed them from the tabi'een, understood them upon their LITERAL meaning, and they did not take recourse to ta'weel, nor did they move away from the apparent meaning. I ta'weel was permissable, then they would have preceded us in it." [ibtaalut-ta'weelaat li-akhbaaris-sifaat]
