  • He said to the effect that no knowledge of Islam can be gained from books of kalam, as it "is not from knowledge"[15][16] and that "it is better for a man to spend his whole life doing whatever Allah has prohibited—besides shirk with Allah—rather than spending his whole life involved in kalam."[17]
  • If a hadith is authenticated as coming from the Prophet, we have to resign ourselves to it, and your talk and the talk of others about why and how, is a mistake.[18]
