Ibn Taymiyyah’s Lost Masterpiece: Response To The Objections Against al-Hamawiyyah - Book Review

[@ibmsulaymani]

• Shaykh Muḥammad ʿUzayr Shams said regarding the book in the introduction:
*❝As mentioned earlier, the book consisted of four volumes and is considered one of the major works of the scholar. He often referred to it in his other writings, and Bayān Talbīs al-Jahmīyyah is considered a continuation of his discussions. This book's significance lies in being one of the most important works in the realm of creed, expounding on the beliefs of the early generations (Salaf) regarding attributes and defending those beliefs. The numerous references to it indicate the diversity of its subjects and the extent to which the scholar elaborated on them.*
ذكرنا فيما سبق أن الكتاب كان في أربعة مجلدات، ويُعدّ من المؤلفات الكبار للشيخ، وقد أحال عليه في كتبه الأخرى، ويعتبر «بيان تلبيس الجهمية» تتمة لمباحثه. وكتابٌ هذا شأنه لابدّ أن يكون من أهمّ مؤلفاته في باب العقيدة، وبيان مذهب السلف في الصفات، والدفاع عنه. ويُستنبط من الإحالات العديدة عليه تنوعُ مباحثه وتوسُّع الشيخ في تناولها.
*It’s not possible to describe or outline its entire content here, as much of the book is still missing. However, we will discuss the content of the two segments we have obtained and highlight the importance of the discussions present in them. The first segment begins by addressing the objections raised against the aḥādīth used to establish divine attributes, from four angles:*
ولا يمكن لنا الآن وصفه وبيان جميع محتوياته، لأن أغلب الكتاب لا زال في عداد المفقود، وإنما نستعرض هنا محتويات القطعتين اللتين حصلنا عليهما، ونبين أهمية المباحث التي توجد فيهما. أما القطعة الأولى فتبدأ بذكر جواب المعترض عن الأحاديث التى يُحتج بها في إثبات الصفات، من أربعة وجوه:
*First: That these are individual reports that don't convey knowledge but rather conjecture.*
أحدها: أنها أخبار آحادٍ، لا تُفيد العلمَ بل تُفيد الظن.
*Second: They aren't explicit statements; they are open to interpretation.*
الثاني: أنها ليست نصوصًا في ذلك، بل هي ظاهرة قابلةٌ للتأويل.
*Third: The early generations often interpreted them differently, including Ibn ʿAbbās, who provided alternative interpretations for many verses.*
الثالث: أن السلف تأوَّلوا كثيرًا منها، ومنهم ابن عباس الذي روي عنه تأويل عدد من الآيات.
*Fourth: These reports are contradicted by rational proofs, thus requiring interpretation.*
الرابع: أن الأدلة العقلية عارضتْها، فيجب تأويلها.
*The author then proceeded to respond to each of these aspects in detail. Regarding his response to “individual reports that don't convey knowledge,” he provided three arguments:*
قام المؤلف بعد ذلك بالردَّ على كل وجه بتفصيل. أما قوله: «أخبار آحاد لا تُفيد العلمَ» فكان جوابه من ثلاثة طرق:
*Demonstrating how these individual reports and narrations align with the Qurʾān and its interpretation.*
بيان موافقة الأحاديث والآثار للقرآن وتفسيرها له
*Explaining the necessity of accepting them.*
بيان وجوب قبولها
*Clarifying the soundness of the prevailing belief associated with them.❞*

May Allah bless you akhi. Fatwa hamawiyyah is one of the most powerful refutations against the shubuhat of the mutakalimeen. I hope they translate this one soon

[@محمد-س3ك9ج]

Wallahi ya akhi al habeeb, your refutations are actually so fruitful and beneficial.
I honestly have a special place in my heart for brothers like you who go out of their way to make knowledge based refutations on people of innovation. May Allah grant you jannatul firdaws
