Or were You doing what You will, the reality of the *** action that has come to be in the minds (the denial of the *mu'attil* of the will of Allah), or were You a living doer by the will of *** and the power

This is also included in the denial, because they deny that Allah acts, and they say: His action is His acted-upon, and He has no action that subsists in Himself.
"Or were You a living doer by the will of *** and the power of the actions of the One of Sovereignty"
Because they do not see for Allah any actions that are connected to His will. They say: If actions connected to His will were to subsist in Him, then occurrences would subsist in Him, and whatever has occurrences subsisting in it is an occurrence. All of this has preceded, and praise be to Allah.
"Or were You a living doer by the will of *** and the power of the actions of the One of Sovereignty
It is impossible for an action to occur without an actor *** This is not conceivable for a human being.
That is to say: Their meaning is that they say: The action of Allah is His acted-upon. So Ibn al-Qayyim says: It is impossible for an action to subsist without the actor.
"Rather, the state of the actor before, during, and after *** is as it was, without distinction" That is to say: The state of the actor before he acts, during his action, and after he acts, all of it is an attribute of the actor alone, not the acted-upon.
