Ithbāt al-Ḥadd by al-Dashtī — Edited by ‘Ādil Āl Ḥamdān
Volume 1 · Page 261

Translation · EN

And all of that is after His statement: {Then is He who creates like one who does not create?} [Al-Naḥl: 17]; the name merely corresponds to the name, but the attribute does not resemble the attribute.

Abū Muḥammad al-Dashtī said:

So this hadith is Textual evidence from the Prophet, Peace and blessings of God be upon him, that God Almighty has Al-Ḥadd, and that Al-Ḥadd of God is known to none but Him.

55- The hadith master Abū al-Ḥajjāj Yūsuf b. Khalīl al-Dimashqī recited to us — from his own wording — Abū al-Qāsim Ibn Bawsh informed us, Abū al-ʿIzz Aḥmad b. ʿUbayd Allāh b. Kādish informed us, Abū Ṭālib Muḥammad [27/A] b. ʿAlī al-Ḥarbī recited to us, the Imam Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. ʿUmar al-Dāraquṭnī, May Allah have mercy on him, recited to us, he said:

The hadith of intercession regarding Aḥmad,

To Aḥmad the Chosen One we attribute it.

As for the hadith of His seating him,

Upon the Throne as well, we do not deny it.

Pass the hadith along upon its apparent meaning,

And do not introduce into it what would corrupt it.

Notes

the correct name is (ʿAbd Allāh bin Munayn). Both are incorrect, and the correct name is: (ʿUbayd bin Ḥunayn).

See the sources from which I extracted the hadith, and see: Tahdhīb al-Kamāl (19/197).

2 - (Saʿīd bin al-Ḥārith), the narrator from Ibn Ḥunayn, was rendered by al-Albānī in his discussion of the hadith as (al-Ḥārith bin Saʿīd al-ʿUtaqī), and his student al-Jawābra followed him in this, and they declared the hadith weak (Da'if) because of him.

I say: The correct name is: (Saʿīd bin al-Ḥārith al-Anṣārī), who is among the narrators of the Group (al-Jamāʿa), well-known, and there is consensus on using him as evidence, as preceded in the speech of Abū Mūsā al-Madīnī and Ibn al-Qayyim.

See: Tahdhīb al-Kamāl (10/379).
