The Shaykh : The author (may Allah have mercy on him) intends in this passage to clarify that these people who denied the elevation of Allah above His Throne said that this division you mentioned, namely that either the world is outside of Allah the Exalted, or inside Him, or He is the world, you mention this, and otherwise not
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Fine, he said that this only applies to that which is capable, it only applies to that which is capable, which is that it is not correct to negate one of the two contradictories from it. As for that which is not capable, it is correct to negate both contradictories from it. For example, a wall, it is correct for us to say that it does not oppress, or is it not correct?

It is said that this is a possible convention, this is a possible convention, because it is correct to negate a thing from that which is not capable of it, as will come. He says
"The convention of a group who separated from the*** clear revelation with the wisdom of the Greeks"
The "ba" here is for opposition, meaning they separated from the revelation and replaced it with the wisdom of the Greeks
"And the thing in which it is affirmed about***"
