* This is Montgomery Watt's translation of Al-Fiqh Al-Akbar. Mr. Watt has the following comment preceding the actual translation of the text: "This is the creed called by Wensinck Al-Fiqh Al-Akbar II. There is a text (with commentary) in the Hyderabad volume which contains the Testament, and this has been used here. This creed also is by an anonymous Hanafite author. Wensinck's suggestion (Muslim Creed, p. 240) that it might be by al-Ash'ari is impossible, because he failed to appreciate the difference in the definition of faith between the Hanafites and the Hanbalites (and al-Ash'ari). The discussion of the attributes of God suggests that this creed is somewhat later than the Testament."
