The Shaykh’s likening of the people of pure denial of the divine attributes to the people of likening Allah to creation.

The Shaykh : ... But it is sufficient for me to mention now what came from some of the imams of the later generations. In the course of the claim they asserted regarding the transcendence of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and in denying Him this attribute, the attribute of being above, they said: “Our Lord (Mighty and Majestic) is not to be said or described as being above, below, to the right, to the left, in front, or behind; not inside the world, nor outside it.” This is what they say about their object of worship, these people who deny the divine attributes... If it were said to the most eloquent of people in expression, “Describe for us the non-existent,” he would not be able to describe it with more than what these people who deny the divine attributes describe their object of worship, the Truth (Glorified and Exalted is He), when they said: “Not above, not below, not to the right, not to the left,” and so on through this phrase.
