It is obvious that the hypothetical base upon which corporalism was founded, is necessity of resting upon extrinsic meanings of texts. This base seems to be imitated a long period after emergence of extrinsicism created by Dawud Alisfahani, who publicized it in Morocco. Effects of that school are still manipulated in Ibn Hazm AlAndalusi's written works.
Ideas and course of corporalism were originated a long time before coming forth of extrinsicism. This indicates that the objective base of their school was authored after existence of the school itself. In other more objective words, their base was discriminating, just like communism. The latter had been originated before it was fanatically embraced. A period after that, its hypotheses were adopted by dialectic. Thus, this historical article was picked up to be the objective base of communism.
AsSemani's AlAnsab, part 4 page 99: Extrnisicism is imputed to that group who adopted school of Dawud Bin Ali AlIsfahani. They opt for the extrinsic meanings of texts. They are numerous. AbulHussein Mohammed Bin AlHussein AlBasri acceded to extrinsicism.
Corporalists, in fact, mutinied against their fathers; the extrinsicists, neglecting their principals and rules. Dawud AzZahir (the extrinsicist) and Ibn Hazm opt
for the extrinsic meanings to definite limits after which they interpret. They are, then, interpreters. For corporalists, those two individuals are aberrant and atheists because they were not extrinsicists.
Ibn Hazm's AlFasl, volume 1 part 2 page 122:
Sayings of Allah, the Exalted, should be taken as their extrinsic meanings unless there is another text, congruity or a necessity contrasting so. It is recognized that whatsoever is existent in a place, occupies that place. These all are qualities of corporealities. Regarding so, it is proved that nearness intended in God's saying, (And We are nearer to him than his lifevein. 50:16), stands for control and awareness only.
Ibn Hazm's AlFasl, volume 1 part 2 page 166:
Discussion Of The Divine Face, Hand And Eye:
Allah, the Exalted, says, (And there will endure for ever the face of your Lord, the Lord of glory and honor. 55:27)
Corporalists used this saying as argument for their trend. Others said that 'face of Allah' is His person. This is actually the right proved by clear evidences… The purport of such things; Allah's hand, eye, face and the like, is Allah, the Exalted, and nothing else.
Ibn Hazm's AlFasl, volume 1 part 2 page 167:
The Prophet (peace be upon him) stated, "Hell keeps on demanding with more till Lord of Dignity places His foot precedence in it."
In this hadith, 'foot' stands for precedence. This meaning is mentioned in God's saying, (A footing of firmness with their Lord. 10:2). Hence, the meaning of the hadith is that Allah should fill in hell with people who preceded others in evildoing. The same is said about the authentic hadith, "Allah created Adam on his look." This indicates that Allah had opted for the look on which he created Adam.
Ibn Hazm's AlFasl, volume 1 part 2 page 140:
Unanimously, Muslims agreed upon Allah's being hearing and seeing, since this truth is emphasized in the Holy Quran. A group of Sunnis, Asharites, Jafar Bin Harb the Mutazilite, Husham Bin AlHakam and the corporalists claimed, "We decisively believe that Allah, the Exalted, is hearing by a means of audition, seeing by a means of sight." Groups of Sunnis, including Ashafii, assert that Allah, the Exalted, is hearing and seeing, but they refuted mentioning means of audition and sight, since Allah, the Elevated, has not referred to so. They believe that the Lord is hearing by His Essence and seeing by His Essence… Thus, we adopt this very saying and rule of impermissibility of claiming of means of audition and sight since this claim has not proved by a text.
