And these people have ruled the mind in what should or should not be for God Almighty. Therefore, what the mind necessitates in describing God with it; God is described with it, even if it is not in the book and the Sunnah, and what the mind necessitates denying about God; they denied it, even if it was in the book and the Sunnah.
