Reading from the author's text with commentary on it: "And considering agreement and disagreement on this basis: it is from the category of qiyas al-dalalah (analogical reasoning based on indication), and on the first basis: it is from the category of qiyas al-'illah (analogical reasoning based on the operative cause), and the two matters may coincide, meaning: the wisdom arising from the act itself in which we agreed with them or disagreed with them, and from the act of sharing it with them themselves, and this is the norm for the agreement and disagreement that are commanded and forbidden, so one must be attentive to this meaning, for by it the meaning of Allah's prohibition for us of following them and agreeing with them is known, whether absolute or qualified."

The reader: "And considering agreement and disagreement on this basis: it is from the category of qiyas al-dalalah (analogical reasoning based on indication), and on the first basis: it is from the category of qiyas al-'illah (analogical reasoning based on the operative cause), and the two matters may coincide".
The Shaykh : It is from the category of qiyas al-'illah (analogical reasoning based on the operative cause) because the 'illah (operative cause) of the prohibition exists whether they are specific to it or not, because it is harmful in itself. However, the fact that it is one of their specific characteristics and is forbidden because of agreeing with them is from the category of dalalah (indication). As for the first, it is from the category of qiyas al-'illah (analogical reasoning based on the operative cause). Yes.
The reader: "And the two matters may coincide, meaning: the wisdom arising from the act itself in which we agreed with them or disagreed with them, and from the act of sharing it with them themselves, and this is the norm for the agreement and disagreement that are commanded and forbidden, so one must be attentive to this meaning, for by it the meaning of Allah's prohibition for us of following them and agreeing with them is known, whether absolute or qualified".
The Shaykh : Yes, meaning that it may appear that there is harm in the agreement with them themselves and in the very thing by which a person is harmed, or that it is forbidden in its essence. So the 'illah (operative cause) is now composed of both matters: that it is an imitation and that it is harmful in itself.
