(1) Ibn al-Qayyim records it in Ijtima‘ al-Juyūsh al-Islāmiyya, p. 77, attributing it to Imam Ibn Khuzayma, and then cites, after the words of Imam Ibn Taymiyya, the following: “This is what the Jahmites were attempting to express; the later among them made it explicit, but the prominence of the Sunna and the abundance of imams in their era prevented them from stating it openly. Only after that period—when the Sunna became obscure and the imams passed away—did the negating Jahmites explicitly articulate what their predecessors had only hinted at, unable to reveal it fully.” (2) The isnad “to Hibatullah” does not appear in the original manuscript and was supplied from other copies. In the autograph it is joined by the phrase “He said: ‘And Muhammad ibn al-Husayn informed us,’” i.e. Baqāl al-Lalkā’ī, through whom the preceding report is transmitted. (3) In the “H” and “R” manuscripts the verb reads anba’a (“he informed”). (4) It was transmitted by al-Lalkā’ī, no. 670, vol. 2, p. 400. This report was already cited above as no. 73, where al-Muqātil narrates it from al-Dhuhāk. That does not preclude Muqātil himself from also having transmitted it. (5) The particle “annahu” occurs in manuscript H. (6) It is not found in the other manuscripts.
