737 — Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Hafs informed us; Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Sulayman narrated to us; Abu Nasr Ahmad ibn Amr ibn Muhammad ibn Musa narrated to us; Ahmad ibn Khalid ibn al-Khalil narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Hafs narrated to us; my father narrated to us; Aflah ibn Muhammad said:

I said to Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak, “O Abu Abd al-Rahman, ⦗479⦘ I dislike speaking of the Attributes”—meaning, the Attributes of the Lord, Mighty and Majestic is He.

Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak replied, “I am among the people most averse to that. But when the Book speaks of something, and the reports have come concerning something, we venture to affirm it”—and words to this effect.
