And he established the definite article (Al-) for definition and the specific covenant ('ahd) between him and his addressee.
And his saying: "Body", meaning in ocular vision ('iyan); as for in reality (haqiqi), it is not permissible that "Thing" or "Body" be said of Him. All of that negates names and attributes from Him, establishes Existence, and negates non-existence.
So if you say: "If you negated from Him the name of Thing, Body, Substance, and Accident, then He has entered into the category of non-existence?!"
The Answer: This statement is not binding upon us, because we believe regarding the Form (Surah) that it is the proof of Existence, and we negate from it names, attributes, and accidents, and we deduce [Him] by Power. And this is a statement in which no argument is binding upon us.
And the Thing is [The Example/Likeness (al-Mithal)], and the Body is [The Form (al-Surah)], referring to his saying: [And the names and arguments are equivalent]. Thus, the names are the Examples, and the arguments are the Forms.
