The Shaykh :"Transmission is truthful transmission" means from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
"And the speech of *** the one free from error is the ultimate in clarity"
It means from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), who is free from error, unlike their shaykhs
"And other than that is either a lie or true, *** yet not the speech of one free from error and of clarity"
Other than whom? Other than the speech of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), it is either a lie, meaning it is transmitted from the speaker falsely, or it is true, but it is not the speech of one free from error, so he is not free from error
"Do the two transmissions become equal, O people of intellect? *** By Allah, the two transmissions are not alike"
