The Meaning of the Poet's Statement: "So look at them; they invalidated the principle by which they refuted their statements, by analogy. If this is possible, then likewise the statements of your opponents are also possible."

The Shaykh :"So look at them; they invalidated the principle by which they refuted their statements, by analogy"
They said to the Mu'tazilah: It is not possible for names to exist without meanings that subsist in the one they describe. Then they said: It is possible for actions to exist without subsisting in the one they describe, so that the action is the very thing acted upon.
"So look at them; they invalidated the principle by which they refuted their statements, by analogy
If this is possible... If this is possible, then likewise the statements of your opponents are also possible".
This means: If what you said, that He is described with attributes of actions that do not subsist in Him, is true, then the statement of your opponents that He is described with attributes that do not subsist in Him is also possible.
