al-Hamadhānī (1), may God be pleased with them.

And every single one of them: has many compilations, and is an imam among the imams of Islam, and a hadith master among the hadith masters, and a scholar among the scholars, and a jurist among the jurists, and a sheikh among the sheikhs. All of them are from the people of hadith, they know the exegesis of the Great Qur'an, and the hadiths from the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and their interpretation (2).

And they used as evidence for the affirmation of Al-Ḥadd for God, Mighty and Majestic, the textual evidence of the Book and the Sunna.

And they did not say that based on analogies and opinions, nor by the desires of their own souls; rather, they spoke with evidences and proofs from the Book and the Sunna.

And there is no one on [3/a] the face of the earth more knowledgeable of the Book and the Sunna than the people of hadith (3).
