Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Wahabism and Monotheism الوهابيه و التوحيد Chp 4 Ibn Teimiya the Reviver of Corporalism of Hanbalites ( 59 ) Ibn Batuta's Rihla page 90: Taqiyyuddin Bin Teimiya the grand Hanbalite master of Syria had acquaintance of the entire aspects of principals. Yet he had a trouble in the mind. On a Friday I attended one of his sermons in Damascus.

While he was admonishing people he said "Allah descends to the lowest heavens just as this descending." Meanwhile he descended a scale down the pulpit. A Malikite jurisprudent named Ibnuz-Zahra objected and denied these words. People used their hands as well as sandals in beating that jurisprudent so heavily that his turban fell to the ground.

AsSaqqaf's SharhulAqidetitTahawiya page 170: Ibn Teimiya in his Al-Muwafaqat (printed in the margin of MinhajusSunna) page 1118 claims "It became manifest that sayings of the commenders who maintain of their following the Prophet's traditions and the worthy ancestors' practices are the worst among sayings of the heretic and atheists." Ibn Teimiya's book of Tafseer part 6 page 386: Six variant opinions regarding Allah's settling coming and the like which are mentioned in the Quran were followed by people: A group claim that such affairs should be taken in as their extrinsic meanings require.

They rule that Allah's coming and settling is as same as any creature's. Those are the corporalists the anthropomorphists. Some of this group claim that the Throne becomes empty during the Lord's descending. A group claim that the most suitable explication of such texts should be regarded and accorded to descriptions the Lord has used. He is (Nothing is the like of his likeness) inimitable in His Entity attributes and deeds.

They claim that He descends and comes a sort of descending and coming fitting His ( 60 ) majesty. "He descends and comes while He is still Elevated on the Throne " they assert. Hemmad Bin Zeid says "While He is on the Throne the Lord approaches the creatures as He wills." Isaaq Bin Rahawayih expresses "He descends and keeps up in the Throne in the same time." Isaaq claims that this was Ahmed Bin Hanbal's opinion messaged to Musedded.

According to report of Abu Omar Bin Abdil-Berr defining the Lord's descending as a deed of selfmastery was the opinion adopted by the hadithists. It was also adopted by majority of Ahmed's followers. Ibn Hamid and others asserted this opinion.
