Ithbāt al-Ḥadd by al-Dashtī — Edited by ‘Ādil Āl Ḥamdān

Meaning that these verses and hadiths indicate that God Almighty has a limit, and God knows best His limit.

9- Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm b. Muḥammad b. al-Azhar al-Ṣarīfīnī narrated to us: Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad b. Muḥammad b. Abī al-Qāsim al-Qaṭṭān informed us — in Iṣbahān —: Abū Ṭāhir Muḥammad b. Abī Naṣr b. Hājar informed us, he said: The Imam and Hadith master Abū al-Qāsim ʿAbd al-Raḥmān son of the Hadith master Abū ʿAbd Allāh Ibn Mandah, may Allah have mercy on him, informed us that he said:

There is no religion for one who does not hold that God has a limit; because he drops the barrier, the veil, the indications (1), and the address between himself and God.

He mentioned that in the book: "Bayān [5/b] al-Hudā wa-Maʿrifat Aqāwīl Ahl al-Ḍalāla wa-al-Radā" which he authored.

The Hadith master al-Dashtī said:

10- And I found in the book: "Al-Īḍāḥ fī Uṣūl al-Dīn", by the Imam Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. al-Zāghūnī (2), may Allah have mercy on him, that he said:

(1) By "gestures", he means: pointing to the heaven to affirm the elevation of Allah Almighty, as in the long hadith of Jābir, may God be pleased with him, regarding the Farewell Pilgrimage, which contains: "They said: 'We testify that you have conveyed, fulfilled, and advised.' So he pointed with his index finger, raising it to the heaven and then pointing it at the people, saying: 'O Allah, bear witness; O Allah, bear witness,' three times." Narrated by Muslim (1218). Likewise is the aforementioned hadith of the black slave girl, for the people of innovation who do not affirm elevation deny pointing to Allah Almighty in the heaven, as previously mentioned. As for the gestures of Sufism, they are a misguided innovation.
(2) His biography and the clarification of his status have preceded (p. 164).
