(1) Many scholars such as Ash-Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan حفظه الله, Abdur Rahman As-Saadi'رحمه الله and others, have used this definition when explaining Allaah. This can also be found in the explanation of Kitaabit Tawheed entitled Fathul Majid. Some scholars rate this saying as extremely weak, but state that the meaning is Saheeh.
