[His statement on the Veils]:
He said: Among the tenets held by Ahl al-Sunnah is that Allah is separate from His creation and is screened from them by veils. Exalted is Allah, high above what the wrongdoers claim—
“Grave is the word that issues from their mouths; they speak nothing but a lie” (al-Kahf 18:5).
He then cited several reports on the subject of the veils.
[قوله في الحجب] :
قال: ومن قول أهل السنة أن الله بائن من خلقه يحتجب عنهم بالحجب، فتعالى الله عما يقول الظالمون علوًا كبيرًا ﴿كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ إِن يَقُولُونَ إِلَّا كَذِبًا﴾ [الكهف:٥] وذكر آثارًا في الحجب.
