Open disbelief and paganism found in "al-Naqdh 'ala Bishr al-Marisi"!

[Abu Sulayman]

There is a book which is named as al-Naqdh 'ala Bishr al-Marisi (see also HERE). It's ascribed to 'Uthman bin Sa'id al-Darimi (d. 280 AH), who was a scholar of Hadith (not to be mistaken with Imam al-Darimi [al-Samarqandi] (d. 255 AH), who was the author of Sunan al-Darimi).
It should be noted here that the transmission chain of this book contains several unknown persons, so that the content can not be ascribed with certainty to 'Uthman bin Sa'id. What is also suspicious is that this book contains very obvious Karrami creedal statements, while 'Uthman bin Sa'id had expelled Ibn Karram (d. 255 AH) - the founder of the Karramiyya - from Herat.
I would be not surprised if these Karrami Mujassima put it into his mouth, considering that their evilness was to such an extent that they even poisoned Imam Ibn Furak (d. 406 AH).

As far as I know this book was not quoted - nor even mentioned - in early sources (correct me if I'm wrong) and somehow Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728 AH) got hold of a copy of it and started to regard it as one of the best creedal books ever and this while this book contains open disbelief, paganism and anthropomorphism.

If one reads the title of the book one may think that it's an response against Bishr al-Marisi - one of the leaders of the Mu'tazila -, but the issue is not like this! The book "refutes" innovation with even greater innovation and even outright disbelief and disrespect towards Allah ta'ala!

Note that disbelief remains disbelief no matter who utters it!:
Whosoever is pleased with the creed that shall be quoted or tries to spread it among the people or prints it in order to call the people towards it has fallen into disbelief. Whosoever dies upon this creed has died upon disbelief!

Some of the quotes are translated by me and some of them by others (but the sources are not online anymore, so I can't link to them).


These are some of the examples of clear Tashbih and Kufr from the above mentioned book:

- "god" has a physical distance to his creation [and is in the above direction of it]:

"He [al-Marฤซsi] said: โ€œDonโ€™t you see that you cannot say that whoever went up on a mountain is closer to Allah.โ€ It should be said to this objector who claims that about which he has no knowledge: Who told you that the top of the mountain is not nearer to Allah than the bottom of it? Because those who believe that Allah is above His Throne and above His skies know for certain that the top of the mountain is closer to the sky than the bottom of it and that the seventh sky is closer to the Throne of Allah than the sixth, and that the sixth is closer to it than the fifth and so on down to the earth. Similarly, Ishฤq ibn Ibrahฤซm al-Hanzali [ibn Rahaweh (d. 238)] reported that Ibn al-Mubฤrak said: โ€œThe top of the minaret is closer to Allah than the bottom of it.โ€ Ibn al-Mubฤrak told the truth for whatever is closer to the sky is closer to Allah.
Notwithstanding, Allah is close to all His creation the near and the far and He is not far away from anything in His creation. Yet some of His creation is closer to Him than other as we explained about the skies and the earth. Likewise, with His angels, for the bearers of the Throne are closer to Him than all the [other] angels that are in the seventh sky."

"As for your statement that Allah has not described himself with being in one location (Mawdhi') without another one: If you, o opponent, are from those who read the book of Allah and understand a little bit of Arabic, then you would've known that you're lying about Allah with your claim, because He has [indeed] described Himself with being in one location without another location and in one place (Makan) without another place. He mentioned that He's above the throne, and the throne is above the heavens and this is something that many of the women and children know, so what about the men?"

There are many such passages where "god" is explicitly described with having a place. The above two quotes however should be enough.

"The opponent also claimed that Allah does not possess a Hadd (limit), Ghayah (restriction), or Nihayah (end). He said: And this is the basis upon which Jahm (ibn Safwan) built his misguidance and derived all of his errors. It has not reached us that anyone besides Jahm in the world preceded him with it. Someone who was discussing this with him (Jahm) said to him: I have come to know your intent oh non-Arab. You intend that Allah is nothing, because all of the creation have known that there is nothing that is called a โ€œthingโ€ except that it has a Hadd (limit), a Ghayah (restriction) and an attribute, and that what has no limit, restriction or attribute is nothingness.
So that which is a โ€œthingโ€ must necessarily be described with attributes. Nothingness is described with no limit or restriction. Your statement: He has no limit means that He is nothing.โ€
Abu Saโ€™id (al-Darimi) states:
โ€œAllah Taโ€™ala has a limit that no one knows but Him and it is not allowed for anyone to imagine a limit to His limit in himself, however, he is to believe in the limit and relegate the knowledge of that to Allah. His place (Makan) also has a limit and He is upon His โ€˜Arsh above the seven heavens- so these are two limits.โ€"

(Note: This statement is in direct opposition to what we find in the 'Aqida al-Tahawiyya, which has been accepted by the scholars of Ahl al-Sunna in general.)

"The opponent has also reported from al-Sha'bi [who said] that He (Allah) has filled the throne and that [the throne] makes a sound like the sound of a saddle [when someone sits on it]. Then he interpretated the statement of al-Sha'bi [by saying], that [the throne] was filled by the grace and favor [of Allah]....
It is said to this opponent: ... Woe to you! If there is nothing on the throne - in your claim - other than the grace and favor [of Allah] and His command, then is it that the throne is making a sound from the grace and favor? It is as if [they are like] stones and iron to you, so that the throne makes a sound because of their weight.
Favors are traits and deeds which have no weight (Thiql) and they're not bodies which could cause the throne to make a sound."

"Verily, Allah is greater than all things and bigger than all creation, and the throne is not carrying Him by [its] glory and strength, nor are the carriers of the throne carrying it by their strength, nor could they bear His throne; but they carried it by His power. It has reached us that when they carried the throne, and above it was the Almighty, in His glory and His splendor, they became weak from carrying it, and they became lowly, and knelt down on their knees, until they were taught to read: โ€˜There is no power, nor might, except with Allah.โ€™ Then, they bore it by the power of Allah and His will. And if it were not for that, the throne would not be able to bear Him (i.e. Allah), nor the carriers [of the throne], nor the heavens, nor the earth, nor those in them.
Had He willed, He would have settled on the back of a mosquito, so it would bear Him, by His power and the subtlety of His Lordship. Thus, what of the great throne, that is bigger than the heavens and the earth? And how do you deny, O vain one, that His throne bears Him, when the throne is bigger than the seven heavens and the seven earths? And had the throne been in the heavens and the earth, they would not have contained it, but it is above the seventh heaven. So how can you deny this, when you claim that Allah is in the earth in all its places, yet the earth is less than the throne in greatness and vastness. So how is it that the earth bears Him according to your claim, but the throne which is greater and more vast than it does not?โ€

The above should be enough.

Just because the Mu'attila went to one extreme it does not justify to go to the another extreme.
The above descriptions are in no way from the attributes of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala or from the belief of the people of Islam regarding the Bari subhanahu wa ta'ala.
These descriptions are from the beliefs of the pagans regarding their imaginary "gods". We ask Allah ta'ala for well-being and safety.

As far as I know this book was not quoted - nor even mentioned - in early sources (correct me if I'm wrong) and somehow Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728 AH) got hold of a copy of it and started to regard it as one of the best creedal books ever and this while this book contains open disbelief, paganism and anthropomorphism.

The opinion of Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728 AH) [and Ibn Qayyim (d. 751 AH)] regarding the above book:

"His two books (Al-Naqd โ€˜alฤ Bishr al-Marฤซsi and al-Radd โ€˜alฤ al-Jahmiyah [two books by Uthman ibn Sa'id al-Dฤrimi]) are among the greatest books ever written about the sunnah [that is, belief] and the most beneficial and it behooves every student of the sunnah who desires to learn what the Companions and Followers and the imams used to believe to read his two books. Shaikh al-Islam Ibn Taimiyah, may Allah show him mercy, used to recommend these two books in the extreme, and he used to extol it greatly. In these two books tauheed and the names and attributes are discussed according to rational proofs and transmitted texts in a way that is not to be found in other than them."
- end of quote (from Ijtima' al-Juyush al-Islamiyya p. 231 by Ibn Qayyim)-


Comment: This is yet another proof against both of them. Which rational proofs and which Tawhid are they talking about? The statement with the mosquito is nothing but an insult against Allah ta'ala!
As for those who print this accursed book in our time: They're heretics and callers to disbelief (!) and they shall not think that anyone can protect them from the punishment of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala!

[Abu Sulayman]

This picture is from a christian website depicting "god", which is also supported by the accursed book mentioned above:



Now the christians don't have a problem with the above imagination, because for them 'Isa - peace be upon him - is God and there is nothing wrong in imagining him as a 3-dimensional being.

But do we as Muslims believe this?! Do we as Muslims believe what is similar to this?! No by Allah no! Whosoever believes that Allah ta'ala is like this or what is similar to this, has disbelieved and is upon paganism and not Islam!
