873 - And Abu Bakr al-Marwadhi informed us, saying: I asked Abu 'Abd Allah about someone who says: 'There are things that Allah did not create,' is he a polytheist? He replied: 'If he says that [there are things] that Allah did not create, then he has denied the knowledge (al-'ilm). He is to be asked to repent; if he repents, [it is accepted], otherwise he is to be executed.'
٨٧٣ - وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْمَرُّوذِيُّ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مَنْ قَالَ: إِنَّ لَمِنَ الْأَشْيَاءِ أَشْيَاءَ لَمْ يَخْلُقْهَا اللَّهُ يَكُونُ مُشْرِكًا؟ قَالَ: «لَمْ يَخْلُقْهَا اللَّهُ إِذًا جَحَدَ الْعِلْمَ، يُسْتَتَابُ، فَإِنْ تَابَ وَإِلَّا قُتِلَ»
