The Shaykh :"And thus His command descends, the Exalted *** Why did you say that the One who forgives descends?"
He is addressing the Prophet, saying that our Lord descends to the lowest heaven. What is the correct statement? That His command descends. But you, O Muhammad, deviated from the correct statement and said that the One who forgives descends.
"What is the justice in the phrase, which is a *** of movement and transition of place?"
Yes, he says that you did not act justly in the phrase. You brought a phrase that implies movement and transition, so you said that Allah descends. This implies that He moved from the Throne to the heaven and that He moved. This is not just. In the opinion of the Jahmiyyah, what descends is His command. Why did you not say, O Muhammad, that His command descends, so that you would act justly in the phrase and hit the mark? Good.
