More than one of the companions of Ábdullāh narrated this ĥadith and they did not mention, “confirming it”.’
Qurţubī said in Mufhim:
‘As for the one who added “confirming it”, then it is nothing, for this is an addition from the statement of the narrator, and it is false, for the Nabī does not confirm the impossible, and such descriptions are impossible in respect of Allāh táālā.’
‘As for the one who added “confirming it”, then it is nothing, for this is an addition from the statement of the narrator, and it is false, for the Nabī does not confirm the impossible, and such descriptions are impossible in respect of Allāh táālā.’
He lengthened in speech regarding it, then he said:
‘If we were to accept that the Nabī was explicit in confirming it, that would not be confirmation of the meaning but rather of the wording which he [i.e. the Rabbi] transmitted from his book from his Prophet.
‘If we were to accept that the Nabī was explicit in confirming it, that would not be confirmation of the meaning but rather of the wording which he [i.e. the Rabbi] transmitted from his book from his Prophet.
It is clear that its apparent [meaning] is not intended.’”
