The Shaykh :"And likewise He descends every last night *** toward the heaven. Here there are two aspects
the beginning and the end, and these are for *** bodies"
Look, they said that these people who ascribe a body to Allah say that Allah descends every night to the lowest heaven. He descends when one-third of the night remains until the dawn breaks. Here there are two aspects: the aspect of beginning, from where? From the middle of the night. The aspect of ending, until the dawn breaks. And these are for bodies, meaning that it is not possible for a descent and an ascent to be timed by a specific time except for bodies.
"Where is Allah with regard to these two?" Who says, "Where is Allah with regard to these two?" The people who deny the divine attributes say, "Where is Allah?" [They ask] whether He is a body, having a beginning to His descent and a beginning to the end of the descent.
