A good deal of scholars asserted that the reason beyond the worthy ancestors' commending Verses and hadiths of the divine attributes to the Lord, had been a sign of their analytical deficiency and anticipation of erring. This situation, in fact, should be naturally adopted by every reverent scholar intending to surpass his limits.
Jami'ulAhadithilQudsiya, part 2 page 46:
In addition to our believing in Allah's being exaltedly promoted against any unfitting saying, Verses and hadiths of divine attributes should be totally believed and credited according to conception of commendation adopted by the worthy ancestors. Since the late's sayings involved require a considerable amount of knowledge to understand, we would better ensue conception of the worthy ancestors so that dangers would be evaded. False interpretation of words of Allah and His apostle is a horrendous danger.
Reason beyond the analytical deficiency, intended by scholars, is not scarcity in scholastic levels, since most of scholars enjoyed penetrating mentalities. The reason is that narratives of practical descending, seeableness, anthropomorphism and corporeity of Allah publicly advertised by the ruling authorities, were contrary to intellects and the Holy Quran and each other. Such narratives repudiated reasonable interpretation. Owing to authenticity of such narratives, on their criteria, they had to admit and commit themselves to. The best solution they could attain had been stopping at relating these narratives and absconding from finding exegeses. They ruled of obligation of believing without inquiry.
It is, as a matter of fact, a perceptible circumstance that Sunni scholars, our brothers, admit contraposition and commit themselves to believing in it. Moreover, this question is not the only in this regard. Numerous questions
received by the worthy ancestors and delivered to the generations with full admission and believing without providing any evidence or exegesis.
The principal concern beyond such an impetuous admission and every contradiction noticed in Islamic rulings and conceptions was the discrepancies arisen just after the Prophet's decease. It was asserted by the formal situation adopted by Sunnis, our brother, when they declared the ultimate decency of the entire companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family). Contradiction is an inevitable result attained by acceding to contrasted groups. Perplexity, likewise, is an unavoidable result of committing to partners differing with one another.
Doors to solving contradiction would have been opened before Muslims if they majority of this nation and ruling authorities had confessed of the Prophet's companions' having been engaged in discrepancies to the degree that they exchanged charges of atheism and killed one another. They should have conceded to the fact that the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) had foretold of some companions' being in Hell. He had also told that some of his companions would not be seen by him and would not see him because they would change to the other side just after his decease. Finally, they should have declared that Muslims, individually, should exert all efforts for scrutinizing the most virtuous and trustful individuals among the Prophet's companions, and leaving the others' affairs to Allah, the Exalted.
On the contrary, the Prophet's companions were imposed on Islam in spite of their contrast. According to personal desires, they forbade Muslims from putting any question or wonderment about the Prophet's companions.
We aim at exhibiting two matters. First, contradiction in narratives of the divine attributes is in the surface only. The factual contradiction falls in resting upon a definite individual in the entire questions of religion. Second, corporalists and anthropomorphists capitalized on silence imitated by the commenders. They alleged that the real reason beyond commendation was their abstinence from publicizing the cerebral exegeses of the divine attributes texts, that they totally had been acquainted with. This is the worst category of distortion. It is using words for interpreting silence, and misapplying commendation for interpreting commendation.
