Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Wahabism and Monotheism الوهابيه و التوحيد Chp 7 Scholars' Rebuttals On the Wahabists' Corporalism ( 125 ) Al-HAFIZ IBN HAJAR Ibn Hajar's Fetihul-Bari Fi Sharhi Sahihil Bukhari part 3 page 23: Adopters of trend of God's having a locality cited the Prophet's saying "Our Lord descends to the lowest heavens " as their evidence. Majority of scholars denied so since it leads to the Lord's demarcation. Allah be exalted against so.

Various opinions were cited in respect of meaning of the Lord's descending. Anthropomorphists rested upon its extrinsic material meaning. Allah be exalted against their misallegation. Kharijites and Mutazilites denied the whole matter; authenticity of such hadiths. This is indeed an exaggeration. While they have been finding suitable interpretation for Quranic texts respecting such a subject they either ignorantly or inflexibly denied hadiths involving the topic.

The worthy ancestors passed such texts as they are believing in them generally and promoting Allah the Exalted against conditions and anthropomorphism. Like many others Al-Beihaqi relate this viewpoint to the four masters the two Sufians the two Hemmads Al-Awzai Al-Leith and others. Others interpreted meaning of the hadith into a proper form common in Arabic. Others opted for an interpretation too exaggerative to evade distortion.

Others discerned what is interpreted in a form near to Arabic from what is rarely used. Hence some was interpreted and the rest was commended. This is Malik's trend. Ibn Daqiq Al-Abd followed this trend lately. Al-Beihaqi: The most secure trend is that of believing without seeking conditions and suspending the intended meanings saving those communicated by authentic narrators. They agreed upon nonobligation of resting upon the identified interpretation.

Only then commendation to Allah becomes safer Ibnul-Arabi: It is said that the heretics refute such texts while the worthy ancestors passed them as they are. A third group ruled of finding interpretation ( 126 ) for them. The latter however is the most suitable for me. God's sayings are referred to His deeds not Essence. It is also an indication to the angel who descends with His orders and instructions. Like corporealities descending can be through mental meanings.

Providing the material meaning is adopted it will be alluded to the angel conveyed. Supposing the mental is adopted that is called a descending to a lower rank.
