tawḥīd, so let those who call people to the belief "Allāh is in the sky" be ashamed after this and repent! In summary, he is a staunch Jahmi, denying the meanings of the verses of attributes through interpretation and negation, as he did with the verses of istiwāʾ, and he denies the authentic ḥadīths of attributes by claiming their weakness and opposing the scholars of ḥadīth and criticism, like this ḥadīth and many others like it. He weakens the saying of the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): "I saw my Lord in the best form," and fabricates in his attribution to some of the imams, as he weakens the ḥadīths of the hands, the grasp, the fingers, the laughter, and others. Perhaps some of our brothers will dedicate themselves to him and expose his ignorance, misguidance, and flaws to the people. May Allāh spare the believers from his evils. If you, dear reader, understand what has been previously explained about the state of this person—who is insignificant compared to the great—you will uncover the reason for his attack and criticism of the followers of the sunnah, its imams, its callers, and its defenders. Hardly a page of what he has written is free from his insinuations and slanders, and he has singled me out with a significant portion of it. He rarely mentions me without describing me as a "mujassim" and "contradictory," coupled with falsehood and lies, which clearly indicates that he harbors in his heart ﴿hatred for those who believe﴾! And that he has been afflicted with the disease of the nations before us: enmity and envy, which is the destroyer: the destroyer of religion, and we seek refuge in Allāh, along with profound ignorance of the methods of critiquing and authenticating ḥadīths. There is no clearer evidence of this than his book which he named "The Contradictions of al-Albānī"! It overflows with malice, ignorance, and arrogance, reminding me of some of the signs of the Hour, among them the saying of the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): "And the insignificant person will speak." It was said: And who is the insignificant person? He said: "A foolish man
التوحيد، فليخجل بعد هذا من يدعو الناس إلى عقيدة "الله في السماء" وليتب"!!وبالجملة؛ فهو جهمي جلد، ينكر معاني آيات الصفات بطريق التأويل والتعطيل، كما فعل بآيات الاستواء، وينكر أحاديث الصفات الصحيحة بادعاء ضعفها ومخالفة علماء الحديث والجرح والتعديل، كهذا الحديث ونحوه كثير. فهو يضعف قوله ﷺ: "رأيت ربي في أحسن صورة"، ويفتري في تخريجه على بعض الأئمة، كما يضعف أحاديث اليدين والقبضة والأصابع والضحك وغيرها، فلعل بعض إخواننا يتفرغون له، ويكشفون للناس جهله وضلاله وعواره، كفى الله المؤمنين شروره. إذا عرفت أيها القارىء الكريم ما سبق من البيان لحال هذا الإِنسان -وهو قل من جل- ينكشف لك سبب حمله وطعنه على أتباع السنة وأئمتها والداعين إليها والذابين عنها، فلا يكاد يخلو صفحة من صحائف ما سوَّده من غمزه ولمزه، وقد خصَّني بقسط وافر منه، فلا يكاد يذكرني إلا وهو يصفني بـ (المجسم) و (المتناقض) !! مقروناً بالزور والكذب، الأمر الذي يدل دلالة قاطعة على أنه يحمل في قلبه ﴿غِلًّا لِلَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا﴾ ! وأنه دبَّ إليه داء الأمم من قبلنا: البغضاء والحسد، هي الحالقة: حالقة الدين والعياذ بالله، إلى جهل بالغ بطرق نقد الأحاديث وتصحيحها. ولا أدل على ذلك من كتابه الذي أسماه بـ "تناقضات الألباني"! فإنه يطفح حقداً وجهلاً وغروراً، مما ذكرني ببعض أشراط الساعة التي منها قوله ﷺ: "وينطق فيها الرُّوَيْبِضَة". قيل: وما الرويبضة؟ قال: "الرجل التافه
