 The NEO­SALAFIS often use this statement to accuse

 This is malicious because actually the BID’AH is

anthropomorphic implication of these verses – as
warned by Imam Malik r.a. : “and the questioning about
it is (reprehensible) innovation –BID’AH.”

(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 115)
 Imam Mujahid, the student of Ibn ‘Abbas r.a., said that the word
WAJH means ‘QIBLAH,' i.e., the direction of prayers during the
voluntary prayers while traveling and riding on an animal. Yet, the
literalist (anthropomorphist) insist on taking the literal meaning; they
say the term, WAJH means 'face.'
