Allah Most High:
“If We willed, We could show them to you, and you would recognize them by their marks; but you will surely recognize them by the tone of their speech.” [Muhammad 30]
Thus He, glorified and exalted, swore that you would surely recognize the hypocrites by the tone of their speech. This is as Hammād ibn Zayd, an imam counted among the greatest authorities in the religion, said: “The Quran is the speech of Allah; Gabriel brought it down. All they are trying to assert is that there is no deity in heaven.”
Sulaymān ibn Harb also said: “I heard Hammād ibn Zayd mention these Jahmiyyah and say, ‘They are only trying to say that there is nothing in heaven.’”
Abbād ibn al-Awwām al-Wāsitī said: “I spoke with Bishr al-Marīsī
الله تعالى وَلَوْ نَشَاء لَأَرَيْنَاكَهُمْ فَلَعَرَفْتَهُم بِسِيمَاهُمْ وَلَتَعْرِفَنَّهُمْ فِي لَحْنِ الْقَوْلِ
[محمد ٣٠]
فأقسم سبحانه وتعالى أن المنافقين لتعرفنهم في لحن القول وهذا كما قال حماد بن زيد الإمام الذي هو من أعظم أئمة الدين القرآن كلام الله نزل به جبريل ما يحاولون إلا أن ليس في السماء إله وقال أيضًا سليمان بن حرب سمعت حماد بن زيد وذكر هؤلاء الجهمية فقال إنما يحاولون أن يقولوا ليس في السماء شيء وقال عباد بن العوام الواسطي كلمت بشر المريسي
