The Meaning of the Poet's Saying: "And he came to the denial of the divine attributes from its doors *** not from the back of the house and the walls, and he brought it in the mold of transcendence and the *** magnification, a deception"

The Shaykh :"And he came to the denial of the divine attributes from its doors *** not from the back of the house and the walls"
He came to the denial of the divine attributes from its doors in order to enter the denial of the divine attributes in a firm manner, because the one who comes to a thing from its door enters it firmly, whereas the one who comes from the back of houses, climbing them, falls and dies and does not reach his goal. But these people came to the denial of the divine attributes from its doors with what they clothed it in of these weak arguments, which its describer said:
"Arguments that collapse like glass, you think them ***truth, and every breaker is broken"
"And he brought it in the mold of transcendence and the *** magnification, a deception upon the blind"
He said, for example, "It is unthinkable that Allah the Exalted is above. Unthinkable, unthinkable, and no. Why?" He said, "If we affirm that He is above, we affirm that He is a body. And if we affirm that He is a body, we affirm that He is similar to the created. So, unthinkable that our Lord is similar to the created, because Allah says:[Ash-Shuraa 42:11] When the common person and those like the common people hear this, they believe and say, 'This is the truth; Allah is transcendent.' And for this reason he said:
"And he brought it in the mold of transcendence and the *** magnification, a deception upon the blind
And he came to the description of the elevation and said: This *** ascribing a body to Allah is not befitting the Most Merciful
So the phrase, he created it from himself *** and clothed it with the description of the One, the Bestower of Grace"
The phrase, which is transcendence, he created it from himself. It is possible that the intended meaning of the phrase is ascribing a body to Allah, and that he clothed it with the description of the One, the Bestower of Grace, in order to establish the denial of the elevation based on that.
