What is the meaning of , O Shaykh?
It means: it is not brought near to You, nor is it attributed to You; for He possesses perfect wisdom in what He creates. Thus, it is good in relation to Him, even if He decrees it as evil in relation to the created beings. For example, His decree of fornication and the occurrence of sins is a wisdom of Allah for which He is praised, and He possesses perfect wisdom. However, it is blameworthy in relation to the created being who commits it, because they are sins in the right of the created being.
