Then, Al­Sabuny (may Allah guide him) mentioned that Allah is far Exalted above having a physical body; a pupil (of the eye), a meatus, a tongue, or a pharynx. Well, this is not the Madh­hab of Ahl­ul­Sunnah, it is rather, the saying of Ahl­ul­Kalam (those who search for answers to creedal issues using logic) and an aspect of their empty pretense, which is censurable. For Ahl­ul­Sunnah only denies what Allah or His Messenger (peace be upon him) denied as regards Himself, and only acknowledge what He or His Messenger (peace be upon him) affirmed for Himself. However, the points mentioned above are neither affirmed nor disaffirmed, thus, it is obligatory to refrain from and avoid either affirming or disaffirming them. What avails us other than this are the views of Ahl­ul­Sunnah wal­Jama`ah on affirming Allah's Attributes and Names; None of His Creation is compared to Him as regards His Names and Attributes and that He (Exalted be He) has no peer or co­equal. Al­Imam Ahmad (may Allah be merciful with him) said that Allah is to be described only with what He has described Himself or with what the Prophet (peace be upon him) described Him, which does not exceed the Qur'an and the Hadith.

Other leading Imams of Ahl­ul­Sunnah said something to the same effect. As for what was stated of these matters by Al­Bayhaqy (may Allah be merciful with him) in his book Al­I`tiqad, it was part of the empty pretense of Ahl­ul­Kalam which he unwittingly considered to be true. The truth, however, is that such speech belongs to the innovators (in religion) and not to Ahl­ul­Sunnah.
