And entering into the saying about Allah without knowledge is a distortion of the texts of the Book and the Sunnah regarding the attributes and others, for when a person distorts the texts of the attributes; like when he says: 'what is meant by the two hands is the blessing,' he has spoken about Allah what he does not know from two aspects:
الْوَجْهُThe aspectالأَوَّلُthe firstأَنَّهُthat heنَفَىnegatedالظَّاهِرَthe apparentبِلاَwithoutعِلْمٍknowledge
the first aspect: that he negated the apparent without knowledge.

And the second: he affirmed for Allah something contrary to it without evidence.

So he says: Allah did not intend such, and intended such.

For if you do not bring the evidence, then you have spoken about Allah what you do not know.
