"that" refers to what Allāh has granted His servant of numerous blessings that he does not deserve; as a favor from Him, the Exalted. So when he said what he said, considering it too much for him, Allāh said: "But I am capable of that." If this first expression is interpreted in this way and not stopped at its apparent contradiction, which suggests that the Exalted is not capable of what He does not will, similar to His saying: "Do not consume usury, doubled and multiplied" and similar concepts for which definitive evidence has been established that they are not intended. If this first expression is interpreted in the way indicated by the second expression, the meaning becomes coherent, and there is no confusion, if Allāh wills. This is the extent of my knowledge. If I am correct, it is from Allāh, and if I am mistaken, it is from myself, and I seek His forgiveness for every sin of mine. Whoever has additional knowledge, let him share it, and we will be grateful to him. Then, after some time from composing this analysis, I came across someone who denies the authenticity of the ḥadīth due to its affirmation of the attribute of laughter for the Lord of the worlds by his saying (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): "... from the laughter of the Lord of the worlds." And I mean by this the Jahmite denier, the nullifier, who said—may his mouth be silenced—in his commentary on "Refuting the Doubts" (p. 178), indicating his denial of this attribute: "And it is, according to us (!), not established because its narrator, Ḥammād ibn Salamah, is famously weak; even though he is among the narrators of Muslim..." So I say: The scope for responding to him is very broad, and it is not possible to address it now. Suffice it for me to mention what follows, which confirms his Jahmite tendencies, his enmity towards the Imams of the sunnah, and his lies against them! Firstly: His statement about Ḥammād—may Allāh have mercy on him! "his weakness is famous" is a lie and slander, unprecedented by anyone
"ذلك " يعود إلى ما أعطى الله ﷿ عبده من النعم الكثيرة التي لا يستحقها؛ فضلاً منه تعالى عليه، فلما قال ما قال مستكثراً ذلك عليه؛ قال تعالى: "ولكني على ذلك قادر"، فإذا فُسِّرَ بهذا اللفظ الأول أيضاً ولم يوقف عند ما فيه من مفهوم المخالفة، المشعر بأنه تعالى غير قادر على ما لا يشاء؛ على حد قوله تعالى: (لا تأكلوا الربا أضعافاً مضاعفة) ونحوه من المفاهيم التي قامت الأدلة القاطعة على أنها غير مرادة، إذا فسر هذا اللفظ الأول بهذا الذي دل عليه اللفظ الثاني؛ استقام المعنى، ولم يثق أي إشكال إن شاء الله تعالى. هذا ما عندي من علم، فإن أصبت؛ فمن الله، وإن أخطأت، فمني، وأستغفره تعالى من كل ذنب لي، ومن كان عنده فضل علم؛ فليتفضل به شاكرين له. ثم وقفت بعد زمن من تحرير هذا التخريج على من ينكر صحة الحديث من جهة ما فيه من إثبات صفة الضحك لرب العالمين بقوله ﷺ:".. من ضَحِكِ رب العالمين ". وأعني به ذاك الجهمي الجاحد المعطل، فقد قال- فُضَّ فوه- في تعليقه على "دفع الشبه " (ص ١٧٨) مشيراً إلى إنكاره هذه الصفة:"وهي عندنا (!) لا تثبت؛ لأن راويها حماد بن سلمة ضعفه مشهور؛ وإن كان من رجال مسلم.. ". فأقول: مجال الكلام في الرد عليه واسع جداً لا سبيل إليه الآن، فحسبي منه ما يأتي؛ مما يؤكد تجهمه وعداءه لأئمة السنة وكذبه عليهم! أولاً: قوله في حماد- ﵀! "ضعفه مشهور"؛ كذب وزور، لم يسبقه
