This form of tawassul is distinct from tawassul by the status (jāh) or the right (ḥaqq) of the Prophet ﷺ which ibn Taymiyyah opposes. Some people conflate these two forms and make ambiguous statements like, “Ibn Taymiyyah permitted tawassul” or, “He said tawassul is a bidʻah.”

ʼImām ʼAḥmad said, “[The Jahmī uses] Allah’s Statement: ﴾Certainly, We have made it a Quran in Arabic.﴿ He claimed that [the words] ‘He made’ mean ‘He created,’ so everything that is made is created. He used a word from the mutashābih words to rebuttal [as a way] of wanting

ʼImām aḏ-Ḏahabī mentions that Khalīl ibn ʼAḥmad, the great linguist, said that istiwāʼ means rose over. ʼImām al-Lālakāʼī mentions that az-Zahrānī said that he heard many mufassirīn saying that istiwāʼ means rose over.

and he said, ‘whereas your Lord is not one-eyed.’ Therefore, I affirm that He has two Eyes.” Do note that the word أعور in Arabic means having two eyes, but one of them is defective, hence you will also find ʼAshāʻirah affirming two Eyes for Allah.

It is said about something that is elevated, and the apparent of individuals. Likewise, the ẓāhir of the people is what is elevated, that which is seen. [The same applies] with meanings.” He clearly says that it’s the meaning that first comes to mind.

He answered just as ʼImām Mālik answered about istiwāʼ [saying that] the descent is comprehensible, its modality is unknown, faith in it is obligatory, and asking about it is an innovation.’”

[1] Firstly, it should be noted that he’s just reiterating what al-Ghazālī said. Moreover, if you read it in context, he’s speaking about the ʼāyah of istiwāʼ amongst other ʼāyāt. Let’s see what ibn Qudāmah has to say about istiwāʼ and ʻuluww in general.

I conclude with the statement of ʼImām ʼIshāq ibn Aḥmad al-ʻIlthī in his letter to ibn al-Jawzī. He writes, “Then you spoke about the attributes of the Creator with speech that doesn’t come from a person whose chest is filled with fear of the Most High, the Greatest,

Ibn Kathīr said, “A group of the jurists were jealous of Shaykh Taqī ud-Dīn [ibn Taymiyyah] because of his status in the eyes of the state, because he alone enjoins the good and forbids the evil, because the people listen to him and love him,

Al-Barbahārī said, “Is [the Jahmī] not rejecting the report when he says, ‘We exalt Allah of moving from place to place.’” These two quotes show that they understand what Allah’s Descent entails.
