We Take Our Religion from the Companions Ê¿AbbÄd b. Al-Ê¿AwwÄm narrates:
SharÄ«k b. Ê¿AbdillÄh came to us around fifty years ago, and we said to him, “O AbÅ« Ê¿AbdillÄh, here amongst us there are people from the MuÊ¿tazilah who reject these ÄḥÄdÄ«th [like]: ‘AllÄh descends to the lowest heaven’, and ‘the people of Jannah will see their Lord’. So SharÄ«k narrated to me around ten such narrations, then said: ‘As for us, we have taken our religion from the sons of the TÄbiʿīn, from the á¹¢aḥÄbah. Who have they taken from?’â€
Al-ḎahabÄ«, Al-Ê¿Uluw. Graded á¹£aḥīḥ by Al-AlbÄnÄ« in Mukhtaá¹£ar Al-Ê¿Uluw article 146.
