Im pretty sure salafis violate Tawhid al-Asma wa'l-Sifat, they give Allah anthropomorphistic attributes such as hands, feet and all types of limbs and create a body in their mind this is why we call them mujassims, unlike the Salaf and Sahabah such as Ibn Abbas RA intrepreting this verse: Qur'an 68:42 - "The Day when the shin will be uncovered, and they will be called to prostrate, but they will not be able."
Prophet Muhammad SAW made supplication to increase Ibn Abbas RA knowledge in interpretation of the Qur'an:
Reported in Musnad Ahmad 2397 - "O Allah, grant him understanding of the religion and teach him the interpretation"
In Tanwir al-Miqbas min Tafsir Ibn Abbas,
"(On the day when it befalleth in earnest) a matter to which they were blind in the life of the world; it is also said this means: when a severe, horrific matter is revealed; and it is also said that this means: when a sign between them and their Lord is revealed, (and they are ordered to prostrate themselves) this is because they said: By Allah, our Lord, we were not idolaters or hypocrites (but are not able) to prostrate, their bodies remaining erect like solid fortresses,"
He uses an Arabic idiom (metaphorical expression) to interpret the word shin, we all know this is interpretation from the literal meaning, however what do salafi contemporary scholars say? They disagree and take it literally as if Allah the Exalted could ever have a shin?? Exalted is He free from the limbs of creation as He is not in need of it.
