Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"The realities of words are negated by reason *** In what you claim, the two negations are equal"
The realities of words are negated by reason, because they claim that reason negates the reality of the word. How? They rely on reason in affirming and negating the attributes. So he says: The reality of coming is negated by the indication of reason, the reality of rising above the Throne is negated by the indication of reason, the reality of the hand is negated by the indication of reason. "The realities of words are negated by reason" "By reason" is a prepositional phrase attached to "negated," meaning: negated by reason in your view.
"*** In what you claim, the two negations are equal"
What are the two negations? The negation of the reality with regard to the attribute, and the negation that the Qur'an is the speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
