٩٣٧ - ذَكَرَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ رَاهَوَيْهِ، يَقُولُ: «مَنْ وَصَفَ اللَّهَ فَشَبَّهَ صِفَاتِهِ بِصِفَاتِ أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ كَافِرٌ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ , لِأَنَّهُ وَصَفَ بِصِفَاتِهِ أَنَّمَا هُوَ اسْتِسْلَامٌ لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَلِمَا سَنَّ الرَّسُولُ»
