[Q1]: According to the Ashʾarī Ṣūfī, Nūḥ Haa Mīm Keller, “These books (i.e. al-Ibānah ‘an Uṣūl ad-Diyaanah) of Abū al-Ḥasan Ashʿarī are not to be counted (his retraction from the Ashʿarī/Kullābī ʿAqīdah) as they were enacted under duress and pressure from those upon the ʿAqīdah of Imām Aḥmad Ibn Ḥanbal” What do Ahl al-Sunnah say about this?

And indeed We have created man, and We know what his ownself whispers to him. And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein [by Our Knowledge]. [Remember!] that the two receivers [recording angels] receive [each human being after he or she has attained the age of puberty], one sitting on the right and one on the left (to note his or her actions).
