Minhaj as-SunnahIbn Taimiya

and His statement:

“Allah intends to make things clear to you, guide you to the ways of those before you, and turn to you in mercy.”

[Surah al-Nisā: 26]

and similar passages, all of which make clear that Allah loves and approves this for you and commands you to do it. Whoever does so attains this intended, beloved, and approved outcome (1), while whoever does not will not attain it.

This has been discussed at length elsewhere, where it was explained that this argument is even more binding (2) against these Qadari Rāfida. For they hold [that] (3) Allah’s will means His command, not that He does whatever He wills. Thus, when Allah wills to purify someone, it does not necessarily follow that the person has actually become purified. Nor, in their view, is it possible for Allah to purify anyone (4). [Rather, whomever Allah wishes to purify may, if he wishes, purify himself, or, if he wishes, leave himself unpurified] (5). According to them, Allah has no power to purify anyone.

As for his statement:

“Because (6) charity is forbidden to them,”

the response to him (7) is: First, the charity forbidden to them is obligatory charity. As for voluntary charities (8), they used to drink from water supplies made freely available between Mecca and Medina, saying, “Only obligatory charity has been forbidden to us; voluntary charity has not been forbidden to us.” If they may benefit from the voluntary charities of others, then it is all the more fitting that they benefit from the Prophet’s charitable property—peace and blessings be upon him. For these assets were not the obligatory zakat—which constitutes the impurities of people forbidden to them (9)—imposed upon the Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him;

(1) “Approved” is omitted from A and B. (2) N and M read: “became binding”; S: “a binding implication.” (3) “That” is added in A and B. (4) A and B read: “for one person to purify another”; S: “to purify anyone.” (5) The passage in square brackets is omitted from N, M, and W. (6) A and B read: “Indeed.” (7) N and M read: “to them.” (8) A, B, and S read: “voluntary charity” (singular). (9) N, M, S, H, and R read: “to him.”
وَقَوْلِهِ: {يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ وَيَهْدِيَكُمْ سُنَنَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَيَتُوبَ عَلَيْكُمْ} [سُورَةُ النِّسَاءِ: ٢٦] ، وَنَحْوَ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا فِيهِ بَيَانُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ وَيَرْضَاهُ لَكُمْ وَيَأْمُرُكُمْ بِهِ، فَمَنْ فَعَلَهُ حَصَلَ لَهُ هَذَا الْمُرَادُ الْمَحْبُوبُ الْمَرْضِيُّ (١) ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ لَمْ يَحْصُلْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ. وَقَدْ بُسِطَ هَذَا فِي غَيْرِ هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، وَبُيِّنَ أَنَّ هَذَا أَلْزَمُ (٢) لِهَؤُلَاءِ الرَّافِضَةِ الْقَدَرِيَّةِ ; فَإِنَّ عِنْدَهُمْ [أَنَّ] (٣) إِرَادَةَ اللَّهِ بِمَعْنَى أَمْرِهِ، لَا بِمَعْنَى أَنَّهُ يَفْعَلُ مَا أَرَادَ، فَلَا يَلْزَمُ إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ تَطْهِيرَ أَحَدٍ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ قَدْ تَطَهَّرَ، وَلَا يَجُوزُ عِنْدَهُمْ أَنْ يُطَهِّرَ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا (٤) ، [بَلْ مَنْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ تَطْهِيرَهُ، فَإِنْ شَاءَ طَهَّرَ نَفْسَهُ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يُطَهِّرْهَا] (٥) ، وَلَا يَقْدِرُ اللَّهُ عِنْدَهُمْ عَلَى تَطْهِيرِ أَحَدٍ. وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُ: " لِأَنَّ (٦) الصَّدَقَةَ مُحَرَّمَةٌ عَلَيْهِمْ " . فَيُقَالُ لَهُ (٧) : أَوَّلًا الْمُحَرَّمُ عَلَيْهِمْ صَدَقَةُ الْفَرْضِ، وَأَمَّا صَدَقَاتُ (٨) التَّطَوُّعِ فَقَدْ كَانُوا يَشْرَبُونَ مِنِ الْمِيَاهِ الْمُسَبَّلَةِ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ، وَيَقُولُونَ: إِنَّمَا حُرِّمَ عَلَيْنَا الْفَرْضُ، وَلَمْ يُحَرَّمْ عَلَيْنَا التَّطَوُّعُ. وَإِذَا جَازَ أَنْ يَنْتَفِعُوا بِصَدَقَاتِ الْأَجَانِبِ الَّتِي هِيَ تَطَوُّعٌ، فَانْتِفَاعُهُمْ بِصَدَقَةِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَولَى وَأَحْرَى ; فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأَمْوَالَ لَمْ تَكُنْ زَكَاةً مَفْرُوضَةً عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -، وَهِيَ أَوْسَاخُ النَّاسِ الَّتِي حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ (٩)
