Then he, may his might be exalted, said: "And weakness enters the Thing from five aspects: Because it is an accident ('arad), and the accident does not subsist by itself; and [it is] motion, and motion does not subsist by itself but subsists by its doer; and likewise color, taste, and smell.

And all of that does not subsist by itself, but subsists by another.

Whereas the Body subsists by itself, and these accidents need it. And all things need the Body, while the Body does not need them.

And the Thing is included in the category of the Body, while the Body is not included in the category of the Thing, and the Form (Surah) is stronger than the Body."

Interpretation and Explanation of that: The saying of the questioner:

[Is Allah a Thing or a Body?] is an interrogation regarding quiddity (mahiyyah). And all existing things are not devoid of these two divisions, except that the Thing is more general than the Body because it encompasses all existing things, while the Body is more specific than it because it does not encompass them [all].Thus, every Body is a Thing, but not every Thing is a Body.
