The meaning of the poet's statement: "The donkeys assumed that in the preposition ***"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says:
"The donkeys assumed that in the preposition ***"
He described them as donkeys, and there is no wonder in describing one who does not understand the text as a donkey, for Allah the Exalted said:
The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not take it on is like that of a donkey مثل الذين حملوا التوراة ثم لم يحملوها كمثل الحمار
[Al-Jumu'ah 62:5]
, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
If anyone speaks on Friday while the imam is preaching, he is like an ass which carries books من تكلم يوم الجمعة والإمام يخطب فهو كالحمار يحمل أسفارا
Mishkat al-Masabih 1397
So there is no wonder that Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) called these people donkeys, because they did not understand the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Do you feel secure that He who [holds authority] in the heaven أءمنتم من في السماء
[Al-Mulk 67:16]
They did not understand it in its true sense, but rather they distorted it, and then they denied that Allah is in the sky.
"The donkeys assumed that in this preposition *** and the Most Merciful is contained within the preposition of a place"
Do you understand now? So these people who labeled the people of hadith as "Hashawiyyah" have two meanings. The first meaning is: are they here? The dregs of the people, not the essence and not the original. The second meaning is: they are Hashawiyyah in that they are what? The stuffing of Allah in the sky, meaning they made the sky encompassing Allah (Mighty and Majestic), okay.
"And by Allah, no sect has ever heard of this *** in any of the times"
Meaning, we have not heard that a sect of the people of hadith said that the sky encompasses Allah forever.
