|f Scholars differed in this attribute, in terms of establishment, negation, and interpretation, the attribute of the Haqu (lion) to the Most Gracious. That's why this study has been conducted to aim at: Studying whether this attribute is established for Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, or not? Then study the evidence for this attribute and write the saying about it, then the correct position on this attribute and the right that is due towards it in submission to Allah, His Book, and His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace. I have selected the most authentic hadith on the topic, the hadith of Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him (the womb caught hold of the loin of the Most Merciful) in Sahih Al-Bukhari, for study. I have dealt with the meaning and narration of the hadith and related issues, narrations, mutaba'ah ("follow-up") and shawahid ("witnesses"), and what is related to it. From this study, I concluded: 1) It is proven from studying the chains of transmission of the previous hadiths that: A – AlHaqu - (loin) in singular form- is an established attribute of Allah Almighty in the manner appropriate to Him, Glory be to Him b - AlHujza (loin): It is an established attribute of Allah Almighty in a manner appropriate to Him, Glory be to Him. C - Huqawi (loins) - in dual form - This attribute is not established for Allah Almighty; because its chains of transmission are not free from weakness and flaw. D- Mankabi (shoulders): This attribute is not established for Allah Almighty because its chain of transmission is not free from severe weakness and flaw. 2) AlHaqu (loin) and AlHujza (loin) have the same meaning, and therefore their establishment doesn't contradict them, especially if we know that الحقو (loin) is proven from the hadith of Abu Huraira and AlHujza (loin) from the hadith of Ibn Abbas and Abu Saeed, so the difference of their routs indicates that there is no objection to the Messenger, may Allah's blessing and peace be upon him, describing Allah with both of them. 3) The narrations in which the affirmation of the attribute of the AlHaqu (loin) is mentioned, is among the hadith of Abu Hurairah which explain or clarify those narrations in which the affirmation of this attribute is not mentioned is also among the hadith of Abu Hurairah. There is no contradiction between these narrations - praise be to God - and the reporting both of them does not preclude that Abu Hurairah had heard the two versions from the Prophet, peace, and blessings of Allah be upon him, with the indication that some of them heard a AlHujza (loin) instead of a AlHaqu (loin), and he narrated them, or that he narrated them once briefly and once in detail. But definitely, he heard Haqu as we mentioned in the study of the tree of hadith chain of transmission, so he mentioned it one time and did not mention it the other time. Likewise, after him, some narrators mentioned both versions, especially since they - i.e., Abu Hurairah and those after him - narrate the same hadith dozens or even hundreds of times. This is decided by scholars of the term hadith. 4) Saying about "loin" is like saying about "the face" and "the hand" and other personal attributes in which the proven report has been mentioned describing Allah Almighty, so it is necessary to believe in all of them and affirm them for Allah Almighty in a manner that befits His Majesty and Greatness. 5) Avoiding the establishment of this attribute of the AlHaqu (loin), its deniers described the acts of the womb as a metaphor so that they would not be obliged to prove the attribute if they acknowledged the reality of these acts; Therefore, whoever acknowledge its truth - among them - due to the agreement of that text and reason, make that specific to the throne or the pole of the throne. 6) The lesson is in agreeing with the truth and evidence, not in following the so-and-so, no matter how advanced he is in knowledge.
