The Shaykh : He says:
“Where is the one who said of a great king: ‘You are never among us with any authority.
None of the attributes of kingship are in you; they are all stripped away from existence.’” Meaning: stripped away from existence. Who is this? This is the one who denies the attributes.
“So did you settle on the throne of kingship, or did you manage the affairs of kingship and authority?”
This is a rhetorical question implying negation, meaning that you did not settle on the Throne, because those who deny the attributes deny that Allah rose above His Throne.
