alongside the other things they worshipped. He said: No one associates partners with Him without also believing in Him. Do you not see how the Arabs used to recite the talbiyah (pilgrimage invocation), saying, ‘Here I am, O Allah, here I am. You have no partner except a partner who belongs to You; You own him and whatever he owns’? The polytheists used to say this.”1.

Among the indications supporting what Ibn Zayd—may Allah have mercy on him—said is the word “partner” in their talbiyah, for a partner is an equal. The polytheists believe that Allah is the Creator, Provider and Owner, and they worship Him, yet they also worship others alongside Him. This is their association of partners with Him, as expressed in their talbiyah, whose wording Ibn Zayd—may Allah have mercy on him—quoted.

Al-Sanʿānī—may Allah have mercy on him—said: “The very word ‘partner’ implies acknowledgment of Allah Most High.”2.

I say: This is the meaning, according to the scholars among the Companions, the Successors and their followers, of His words, Most High:

“And most of them do not believe in Allah without associating partners with Him.” 3

The writer, however, has disgracefully distorted this verse and altered its intended meaning to suit his own desires and religious innovation.

He said on p. 35: “As for His words, Most High, ‘And most of them do not believe in Allah without associating partners with Him,’ their meaning is: most of them do not believe in Allah when they acknowledge the Creator’s existence upon being confronted with evidence and proof; their hearts belie that acknowledgment, as does their actual state. Thus, the belief they profess with their tongues before you when evidence and proof of Allah Most High’s existence are presented is of no account and is not accepted by Allah Most High …”

I say: This is a repugnant distortion and an invalid interpretation of this noble verse, contrary to the consensus of the Quranic commentators, some of whose words we quoted shortly before. It is refuted by many passages in the Book of

1 See Ibn Jarīr al-Tabarī, Tafsīr (Quranic Commentary), 8/7779. 2 Tathīr al-i‘tiqād (Purification of Belief), p. 31. 3 Surah Yūsuf, verse 106.

مع ما يعبدون، قال: فليس أحد يشرك إلا وهو مؤمن به، ألا ترى كيف كانت العرب تلبي تقول لبيك اللهم لبيك لا شريك لك، إلا شريك هو لك، تملكه وما ملك، المشركون كانوا يقولون هذا"١. ومِمَّا يدل على ما ذكره ابن زيد ﵀ لفظةُ (شريك) في تلبيتهم فالشريك هو المساوي، والمشركون يؤمنون بأنَّ الله هو الخالق الرازق المالك ويعبدونه، ويعبدون معه غيره فهذا شركهم كما في تلبيتهم التي أورد نصها ابن زيد ﵀. قال الصنعاني ﵀: "ولفظ الشريك يشعر بالإقرار بالله تعالى"٢. قلت: هذا معنى قوله تعالى: ﴿وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ باللهِ إِلاَّ وَهُم مُّشْرِكُونَ﴾ ٣ عند أهل العلم من الصحابة والتابعين وأتباعهم، أما الكاتب فقد حرَّف هذه الآية تحريفاً مشيناً وغيَّر معناها المراد حسب هواه وبدعته. فقال ص ٣٥: "وأمَّا معنى قوله تعالى: ﴿وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ باللهِ إِلاَّ وَهُم مُّشْرِكُونَ﴾ ، فمعناه: وما يؤمن أكثرهم بالله في إقرارهم بوجود الخالق عند إقامة الحجة والبرهان عليهم تكذبه قلوبهم ويكذبه واقعهم، فإيمانهم أمامكم عند إقامة الحجة والبرهان على وجود الله تعالى بألسنتهم غير معتبر ولا مقبول عند الله تعالى ... ". قلت: فهذا تحريف سمج وتأويل باطل لهذه الآية الكريمة مخالف لما أجمع عليه المفسرون الذين نقلنا كلام بعضهم قريباً، ترده نصوص كثيرة في كتاب
