A lSabuny mentioned in his second article that AhlulSunnah has two famous Madhhabs: First: the Madhhab of the Salaf (righteous predecessors). Second: the Madhhab of the Khalaf (those who graciously followed the Salaf).
A: This is a manifest mistake that as far as I know has no precedent. Indeed, the Madhhab of Ahlul Sunnah is only one Madhhab which embodies the traditions of the Companions of the Prophet and of those who righteously followed them, namely acknowledging the Names and Attributes of Allah (Exalted be He), passing them just as they are mentioned and believing that they are true and that Allah (Exalted be He) is described by them in a way that befits His Majesty, with no Tahrif (distortion of their meaning), Ta`til (denial of them), Takyif (questioning of them), Tamthil (likening them to those of His Creation), or Ta'wil (allegorical interpretation) that puts them out of their literal meaning, or even Tafwid (leaving the issue of their meanings to Allah's care). Rather, they believe that their meanings are known, that they truly befit Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) and that nothing of them could be likened to any of Allah's creation.
Furthermore, the Madhhab of Khalaf is the opposite to this Madhhab, as is known to anyone who reads both sides.
Then, he mentioned that Ahlu lSunnah leave the issue of the meanings of the Attributes to Allah and repeated that more than once. Well, he is mistaken in this point, as he ascribed to them what they repudiate. This has already been explained above through the quotation from ShaykhulIslam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah be merciful with him), in which he reported from a multitude of
(the scholars of) AhlulSunnah that they leave the issue of the nature, not the meanings, of the Attributes, to Allah's (Exalted be He) care, as is clarified above.
