Explanation of the Book of Tawhid-10b

The reciter: Abu al-Yaman narrated to us, saying: Shu'ayb informed us, saying: Abu al-Zinad narrated to us from al-A'raj from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

The Shaykh : "Sahaa' al-layl" is best to pause at so that one understands the meaning, lest one think that "sahaa'" is attached to "al-layl" (the night).
The reader:

The Shaykh : "O Allah, raise us," he says: meaning it is not diminished by "sahaa'", meaning abundant giving, "al-layl wa al-nahar" meaning in the night and in the day. The discussion will come on the rest of the hadith and what is in it of difficulty and the answer to it.
And his saying "al-layl wa al-nahar" means that it is abundant in giving by night and by day. "Al-layl wa al-nahar" is broader than his saying "fi al-layl wa al-nahar" (in the night and in the day), because if it is said "in the night and in the day," the preposition "in" allows for it to be in the entirety of the night and day or in a part of it. But if he says "al-layl wa al-nahar," the meaning is always. And his saying: Who can count it? No one. He said: meaning it has not diminished. And from this is His saying, Exalted is He: meaning diminished. If someone were to say: It is known that what is in His Hand does not diminish, because He spends from what is in His Hand upon what is in His dominion, so the whole has not exited His dominion, so how can diminishment be imagined? We say: This is an example. The intended meaning is that if it were possible that He spends outside His dominion, that would not diminish what is with Him, as came in the long hadith of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari, which Muslim narrated, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated from his Lord, saying: If you dip the needle in the sea and then pull it out, what diminishes from the sea? Nothing, meaning nothing diminishes from it. And the meaning is that if it were possible that I give to one who is outside My dominion, as for one who is in My dominion, he is in My dominion whether I give to them or not; the whole is in His dominion. So this is from the category of exemplification. He said: This is water other than the first water that was before the creation of the heavens and the earth. This is another water between the seventh heaven and the Throne, a great water upon which is the Throne. They said: "And in His other Hand is the balance," meaning one of the hands is with giving, and that is pure, and the other is with justice. "He lowers and raises." He lowers whom?
