Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "Chapter: On the harm of figurative interpretation (ta'wil) regarding what the Messenger brought, and the difference between the rejected and the accepted of it.
This, and the root of Islam's affliction is from *** the ta'wil of the one who distorts and invalidates.
And it is that which divided the seventy, indeed *** it increased by three, according to the saying of the one with the proof.
And it is that which killed the Caliph"
the compiler of the Qur'an.

The Shaykh : The compiler
The reader: "And it is that which killed the Caliph, the compiler of *** the Qur'an, the one with the two lights and excellence.
And it is that which killed the Caliph after him, *** I mean Ali, the killer of the peers.
And it is that which killed al-Husayn and his people, *** so they came upon him with torn flesh.
And it is that which, on the day of their war, [killed] Abu *** Ham, the protector of the city, the stronghold of faith.
Until those bloods flowed as if they were *** on a festival day, the year of the sacrifice.
And al-Hajjaj came to spill them, *** and killed the companion of faith and the Qur'an.
And what happened in Mecca happened because of him, *** from the army of al-Hajjaj, the one with the transgression.
And it is that which established the Khawarij, like the establishment of *** the Rafidah, the most wicked of creatures.
And because of it, they insulted the best of creation after *** the messengers, with transgression and slander.
And because of it, the rebels drew their swords, *** thinking that they were people of excellence.
And because of it, the people of the Mu'tazilah said *** a statement that destroyed the strength of faith.
And because of it, they said that His speech, *** (Glorified and Exalted is He), is a created thing from the creations.
And because of it, they lied about His decree, *** like the Majus who worship the fires.
And because of it, they made the people of great sins *** eternal in the Hellfire, like the worshippers of idols.
And because of it, they denied the intercession of the *** Chosen One among them, with the utmost denial.
And because of it, the Imam was struck with their whip, *** the truthful one of the people of the Sunnah, al-Shaybani.
And because of it, Jahm said that the Lord of the Throne *** is not outside these creations.
No, and not above the highest heavens, *** and the Throne has no Lord and no Merciful.
There is no Lord above them to be obeyed, our foreheads *** fall for it in prostration with humility"

Humility, not humility

The Shaykh : Yes, correct
The reader: "And because of it, His perfect attributes were denied, *** and the Throne was emptied of the Merciful.
And because of it, the Hellfire and the Paradise of the *** refuge were destroyed by the statement of a lying tempter.
And because of it, they said the God is inactive from *** eternity, without end and without time.
And because of it, they said there is no purpose for His action, *** which is the wisdom of the Judge.
And because of it, they lied about His descent *** to the lower sky in the second half of the night.
And because of it, they claimed the Book is a description *** and a narration about that Qur'an.
We have nothing except the created, and the *** Qur'an was not heard from the Merciful.
What is the speech of Allah ever in reality? *** But it is metaphorical, and woe to this slander.
And because of it, Ibn Nasr Ahmad was killed, *** that al-Khazai, the one of great status.
When he said this Qur'an is His own speech, *** "


The Shaykh : Ahmad
The reader: Ahmad

The Shaykh : With the nominative case, the correct is with the nominative case
The reader: "And because of it, Ibn Nasr Ahmad was killed, *** that al-Khazai, the one of great status.
When he said this Qur'an is His own speech, *** that is not a created thing from the creations.
And it is that which led Ibn Sina and those who *** said his statement regarding disbelief.
So they interpreted the creation of the highest heavens *** and their occurrence with the reality of possibility"


The Shaykh : And their occurrence
The reader: "So they interpreted the creation of the highest heavens *** and their occurrence with the reality of possibility.
And they interpreted the knowledge of the God and His speech *** and His attributes with negation and invalidation.
And they interpreted the resurrection which the messengers of the God *** brought for these bodies.
By their separation from elements that were composed *** until they return to simple elements.
And it is that which led the Qarmatians, those who *** interpret the laws of faith.
So they interpreted the practical like the interpretation of the *** theoretical among you, without distinction.
And it is that which led al-Nasir and his party *** until they brought the armies of disbelief.
So the greatest calamity happened to Islam, *** and its veil is among us until now.
And all that is in the universe of innovations and new *** matters that contradict the requirement of the Qur'an.
So its foundation is the invalidating ta'wil, not *** the ta'wil of the people of knowledge and faith"
