They said: If the one who ascribes a body to Allah says, "Our Lord, truly, He rose above the Throne with His tongue" (Clarifying the meaning of the one who ascribes a body to Allah), then ask him how many meanings the Throne has, and "rose" also has five meanings in its usage.

The Shaykh : In this chapter, the author (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned the deception of the people of denial of attributes regarding the issue of rising above the Throne.
"They said: If the one who ascribes a body to Allah says, 'Our Lord, truly, He rose above the Throne with His tongue'"
Who is the one who ascribes a body to Allah? It is the one who affirms the reality of the Highness; rather, it is the one who affirms the reality of rising above the Throne. For this reason, they call the people of the Sunnah "those who ascribe a body to Allah."
If he says, "Our Lord, truly, He rose above the Throne with His tongue."
"So ask him how many meanings the Throne has", this is one. And "rose" also has meanings, and "above," and "the Most Merciful"—these are four things.[Taha 20:5] Ask him how many meanings the Throne has? Ask him how many meanings "rose" has? Ask him how many meanings "above" has? The purpose of this question is that if the meanings are established, the word becomes ambiguous, and an ambiguous word, yes, invalidates the argumentation. The famous rule is: "If ambiguity is found, the argumentation is invalid". So ask him.
"So ask him how many meanings the Throne has, and 'rose' *** also has five meanings in its usage
And as for "fa-kam," it also has a meaning with *** 'Amr " and he is Sibawayhi ," so he is the imam of this matter."
"Above" has meanings, "rose" has meanings, the Throne has meanings, so ask them which meanings are intended.
"Explain to us those meanings, and which *** of them is intended, with clear explanation"
He says: Explain to us. This is a challenge, not a question for information or inquiry. But they want to challenge. This is what Ibn al-Qayyim says:
"So listen, for that is the denier of these *** sounds; what is in them of the gibberish"
The "ja'ajic" are the unknown sounds. What is in them of the gibberish? Gibberish is the speech of a delirious person who has no control and no meaning.
"Say to the one who makes these sounds, woe to you, understand *** what you have said, if you are one of knowledge"
And this is a mockery of him, meaning that if you are truthful and know, understand what you are saying. Yes.
"The Throne is the Throne of the Lord, Exalted is His Majesty, *** and the 'al' is for the known in the minds".

The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.
