Lesson 40 – Sharḥ as-Sunnah of Imām al-Barbahārī – Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell – Point 51

Sharḥ as-Sunnah by Imām al-Barbahārī (raḥimahullāh), with the explanation of Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān (hafidhahullāh), taught by Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell (hafidhahullāh)

• Point 51: the narrations about Allāh, such as "I saw my Lord in the most excellent form", must be submitted to, believed and accepted, and not interpreted according to desires • Whoever interprets or rejects any of them is himself rejected • The two deviations: the Mushabbihah who liken the Creator to the creation, and the Muʿaṭṭilah who negate the attributes, the most extreme being the Jahmiyyah • Abū Bakr: "Whoever worshipped Muḥammad, Muḥammad has died; whoever worships Allāh, Allāh is Ever-Living and does not die" • Affirming the Names and Attributes in a manner befitting His Majesty, without asking how • To be Salafī is to establish three obligations: Tawḥīd, the Sunnah, and the understanding of the Salaf • Questions: making up the Sunnah of Fajr after the obligatory prayer
