==Method== | |||
[[Al-Sayyid al-Murtada]] replied to al-Qadi 'Abd al-Jabbar's objections and repudiations in a selective way, as he notes in the introduction of the book. When he quotes al-Qadi 'Abd al-Jabbar's book, ''al-Mughni'', he only mentions the beginning part of each objection or a particular part of his words. These are cited as follows: “the author of the book said,” “he said,” “as for his statement,” and “as for your statement”. Sometimes, hypothetical objections are made on behalf of al-Qadi, which are then answered. | |||
