Bayān Talbīs al-JahmiyyaIbn Taimiya

a body, nor a substance, nor something that occupies space, nor in any direction; nor can He be indicated through sensory perception, nor is anything of Him distinguishable from anything else.’ You expressed this by saying that He, exalted is He, is neither divisible nor composite, and that He has neither limit nor endpoint. By this you mean that it is impossible for Him to have a limit and magnitude, or to have an infinite magnitude, and similar claims. It is well known that describing through negation is like describing through affirmation. How, then, could you deem these negations permissible without any basis in the Book or the Sunnah, despite the early generations’ agreement in condemning those who introduced such innovations, calling them Jahmiyyah, and censuring those who espoused this discourse?

As for affirmation, Allah Most High described Himself with certain attributes, and His Messenger described Him with certain attributes. Yet you yourselves, who claim to be among the people of the Sunnah

هو بجسم ولا جوهر ولا متحيز ولا في جهة ولا يشار إليه بحس ولا يتميز منه شيء من شيء وعبرتم عن ذلك بأنه تعالى ليس بمنقسم ولا مركب وأنه لا حد له ولا غاية تريدون بذلك أنه يمتنع عليه أن يكون له حد وقدْر أويكون له قَدْر لا يتناهى وأمثال ذلك ومعلوم أن الوصف بالنفي كالوصف بالإثبات فكيف ساغ لكم هذا النفي بلا كتاب ولا سنة مع اتفاق السلف على ذم من ابتدع ذلك وتسميتهم إياهم جهمية وذمهم لأهل هذا الكلام وأما في الإثبات فإن الله تعالى وصف نفسه بصفات ووصفه رسوله بصفات فكنتم أنتم الذين تزعمون أنكم من أهل السنة
