What the Mu'tazilah mean by affirming the word without the meaning

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what do the Mu'tazilah mean by affirming the word in isolation from the meaning?

Answer:
Because they are unable to deny the word, which is in the Qur'an. This is their intent: they cannot deny the word, which exists in the Qur'an, so they affirmed it in isolation from the meaning, because, in their claim, affirming the meaning would necessitate likening Allah to creation. Yes.
