And among the calamities is that a group between the people of the fortress and those who trampled them in aggression (referring to the people of ta'til)

The Shaykh : and it is crumbling? And those who denied the attributes of Allah said that the intellect does not accept them either, and if the intellect does not accept them, then we do not affirm them. So this catapult they set up against the strongholds of faith became a ladder for the disbelievers, upon which they rely in their disbelief.
"For Allah, how many a fortress has the *** disbelievers seized from this harmful catapult
And by Allah, they did not set it up until they *** crossed over, intending to breach the great fortress of high status"
Meaning that they did not set up this catapult except to cross over to the great catapult of high status, to the great fortress of high status, which is what the messengers brought, in order to demolish it and put an end to it.
"And among the calamities is that a group between the peo *** ple of the fortress trampled them in aggression"
Among the calamities is that the people of the fortress, whom these people are bombarding with the catapult, trampled the people of the catapult in aggression. It seems he is referring to the people of ta'til who rose up against the people of affirmation, because the disbelievers set up the catapult against whom? Against the people of affirmation and faith. So a group of those who claim to be Muslims came and set up the same catapult against the people of affirmation. For this reason, he said:
"And among the calamities is that a group between the peo *** ple of the fortress trampled them in aggression"
