The statement that was on the slides, but not in the notebook.
ibn al-Qayyim says,
Allah ta'ala did not unconditionally attribute to Himself 'plotting' and 'planning' and 'ridiculing' and 'tricking', and neither are these included in His Majestic Names. And whoever assumed this, from amongst the ignorant authors who wrote about Allah's Names, and claimed that of His Names is al-Makeer and al-Mukhaadi' and al-Mustahzi' ... has indeed verbalized a greivous matter which makes one's skin stand on end, and one's ears go deaf! For this ignoramus was deceived by the fact that Allah characterized Himself with these actions, and thus he derived Names from them. But His Names are all Majestic and Perfect, so he compared [these] names with al-Raheem and al-Wadood and al-Hakeem and al-Kareem, and this is great ignorance. For these actions are not unconditionally praiseworthy, but rather are occasionally praiseworthy and occasionally blameworthy....
