The Meaning of the Poet's Saying: "And the isolated words without composition, like the sound of the bleating of those sheep, and there is ambiguity, doubt, obscurity, and distortion"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Good. "And the isolated words without composition, like the sound of the bleating of those sheep"
Correct. Isolated words without composition are like the sound of the one who bleats at the sheep, the one who bleats at the sheep. What does he say? "Halo, halo." Yes, the sheep understands this and comes, or according to its training. Do these words benefit? No, not at all. They benefit the sheep, but they do not benefit the human being. So if we assume a word exists without composition, it is like the sound of the one who bleats at the beast; it has no benefit and is not established.
"And there is ambiguity, doubt, obscurity, and distortion with falsehood"
This means that if we assume the isolation of some words from others and the tearing apart of the speech, then doubt arises.
"So when they do it, they seek to transfer it to a compound that has been surrounded by clarification"
The pronoun "they" in "So when they do it" refers to the people of denial of the divine attributes. That is, if they do that and strip the words of their meaning when tearing them apart and isolating them, they transfer that to the compound. And for this reason he said:
They transferred it to a compound that has been surrounded by clarification, so they made the meaning that is possible in isolation the same as the meaning that is possible in composition, and they misled the people by this path.
