(1) N and M read: “In their view, He has no power over any of them.” In the margin of manuscript (Ayn), the annotator repeated the passage beginning, “The doctrine of these Imāmiyya and of their shaykhs among the Qadariyya…” through this point. He then wrote: “It is astonishing that the Māturīdiyya among the Hanafis, although they say that He, the Exalted, has power over all things, also say that it is impossible for Him, the Exalted, to grant bliss to the wicked, punish the obedient, or consign an obedient believer to the Fire forever—in the sense that He has no power to do so. They likewise deem foolishness, falsehood, and injustice impossible for Him, the Exalted, in the sense that He has no power to commit them. In sum, they uphold the principle of wisdom, maintaining that He must do everything consonant with wisdom, while its opposite would be foolishness and therefore beyond His power. They even say that sending messengers must necessarily occur because it accords with wisdom; thus, not sending them is beyond His power because it would contravene wisdom and therefore constitute foolishness—and foolishness is beyond His power. Upon this corrupt principle they have built corrupt doctrines that the fundamental principles of religion reject. May Allah pardon us and them.” (2) B and A read: “Thus, their obfuscation became evident in his statement, ‘has power’”; N reads: “Thus, their obfuscation became evident: ‘has power’”; M reads: “Thus, their obfuscation became evident in their statement, ‘has power.’” (3) “The Exalted” is omitted from N and M. (4) “Existent” is omitted from N. (5) The phrase “and its existence cannot be conceived” is omitted from (Ayn) alone.
