(Clarifying that the Asha'irah likened Allah to creation and then denied the divine attributes) Therefore, He protected it from figurative interpretation, so woe to you, O brother of investigation and knowledge, how the people admitted that

The Shaykh :"Therefore, He protected it from figurative interpretation" Because the minds indicate it and the apparent meaning of the Qur'an indicates it, it was protected from figurative interpretation, even though their first method requires what? It requires ascribing a body to Allah in the first meaning in the previous section; it requires ascribing a body to Allah. For this reason, the author said: "So woe to you, O brother of investigation and knowledge,
how the people admitted that their minds*** indicated ascribing a body to Allah by proof"
And this is correct, a place of wonder. You say that we prevent the attributes because they require ascribing a body to Allah, and now you say we affirm the attributes that the mind indicated, even if they require ascribing a body to Allah.
