The Shaykh :"They came with doubts and said that they are *** reasonable by the first thoughts of minds"
They came with doubts, claiming that they are proofs and clear evidence, and that they are reasonable by the first thoughts of minds.
"Every one contradicts the other, and there are not *** two different things reasonable in the truth"
This means: that these people who said that the reference in the matter of attributes is to reason, every one of them contradicts the other. One of them says: this attribute is obligatory for Allah, and the second says: this is impossible for Allah, and the third says: this is permissible for Allah. Indeed, a single person among them contradicts himself; you will find that in some of his books he affirms this attribute and considers it obligatory for Allah, while in some of his books he denies this attribute and says that it is impossible for Allah and that it cannot be, because they rely on doubts, not on realities.
"And they judged against You with falsehood and arrogance ***"
Yes.
"*** And there are not two different things reasonable in the truth"
This means: that the truth is not a matter in which minds differ, because they agree upon it. If minds differ on something, it indicates that it is false, because sound minds do not differ on the truth.
