Kawthari on Imam Ibn Khuzaima

 

Zahid al Kawthri the Hanafi the Jahmi on the book Kitab at-Tawheed li Ibn Khuzaima.

He said:
(( ولهذين الكتابين ثالث في مجلد ضخم يسميه مؤلفه ابن خزيمة كتاب التوحيد وهو عند محققي أهل العلم كتاب الشرك وذلك لما حواه من الآراء الوثنية,…..))
“ And its author Ibn Khuzaymah called it “ Kitab Tawheed” and it is the book of Shirk according to the researchers among the people of knowledge. [Maqalaat al Kawtharee page 301]

I read a person said Fakhr a;-din ar-Razi also said its Kitab al-Shirk. I don’t know where he said that but i know that al Razi repented from his creed, when are you going to repent? Don’t you know who was Imam Ibn Khuzaima?

Ibn Hibban said regarding him
ما رأيت على وجه الأرض مَن يحفظ صناعة السُنن،

P.S Repentance of al Razi

According to Imam Ibn Katheer and ad-Dahabi he repented from his old creed as Ibn Kathir said
وقد ذكرت وصيته عند موته وأنه رجع عن مذهب الكلام فيها إلى طريقة السلف وتسليم ما ورد على وجه المراد اللائق بجلال الله سبحانه.
He returned from the madhab of kalam to the madhab of salaf and this has been recorded in his wasiyyah before his death( البداية و النهاية){68/7}

ad-Dahabi said
وَقَدِ اعترَفَ فِي آخِرِ عُمُرِهِ، حَيْثُ يَقُوْلُ (1) :
لقد تَأَمَّلْتُ الطُّرُقَ الكَلاَمِيَّةَ، وَالمنَاهجَ الفلسفِيَّةَ، فَمَا رَأَيَّتُهَا تشفِي عليلاً، وَلاَ تروِي غليلاً، وَرَأَيْتُ أَقْرَبَ الطُّرُقِ طرِيقَةَ القُرْآنِ، أَقرَأُ فِي الإِثْبَاتِ: {الرَّحْمَنُ عَلَى العَرْشِ اسْتوَى (2) } ، {إِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الكَلِمُ (3) … } ، وَأَقرَأُ فِي النَّفْي: {لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ (4) } ، وَمَنْ جَرَّبَ مِثْلَ تَجرِبَتِي عرفَ مِثْلَ مَعْرِفَتِي.
He confessed in the last part of his age he (al Razi) said:
I have seen all the ways of Kalam and Manhaj of Philosophy, I have not seen that it cured the illness of someone or It quenched the thirst of a thirsty, I have seen the ways and the closest way is the way of Quran, I read the affirmation that “The Most Beneficent (Allah) Istawa (rose over) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty).” ” To Him ascend (all) the goodly words,” and I read in negation that “There is nothing like unto Him”. Those who will experience like me, he will have its Muarifah like me. [Seyar Ailaam an-Nubala 21/501]
