فَلَيْسَ

this is not

هَذَا

from

مِنْ

my

مَذْهَبِي

school of thought,

this is not from my school of thought,

بَلْ

rather

مَذْهَبِي

my school of thought

مَذْهَبُ

is the school of

مَالِكٍ

Malik,

وَالثَّوْرِيِّ

Al-Thawri,

وَابْنِ

Ibn

الْمُبَارَكِ

Al-Mubarak,

وَسَائِرِ

and the rest

الْمُتَقَدِّمِينَ

of the early predecessors,

rather my school is the school of Malik, Al-Thawri, Ibn Al-Mubarak, and the rest of the early predecessors,

وَهُوَ

and it is

إِمْرَارُ

passing on

الْمُتَشَابِهَاتِ

the ambiguous texts

عَلَى

upon

ظَوَاهِرِهَا

their apparent meanings

وَتَرْكُ

and leaving

الْخَوْضِ

delving

فِي

into

تَأْوِيلِهَا

their interpretation.

and it is passing on the ambiguous texts upon their apparent meanings and leaving off delving into their interpretation.

أَمَّا

As for

النِّزَاعُ

As for the dispute and argumentation in rulings and opinions derived from them,

وَإِحْكَامُ

and each faction

كُلِّ

establishing

فَرِيقٍ

its

لِمَذْهَبِهِ

school of thought,

and each faction establishing its school of thought,

وَطَرْحُهُ

and its rejection

لِمَذْهَبِ

of the school

غَيْرِهِ

of others,

and its rejection of the school of others,

وَالتَّحَايُلُ

and resorting to stratagems

لِدَفْعِ

to push away

الْأَدِلَّةِ

the Quranic

الْقُرْآنِيَّةِ

evidences,

of that

لَا

is not

يَجُوزُ

permissible

عِنْدِي

according to me,

all of that is not permissible according to me,

وَأَخْشَى

أَنْ

that

يَكُونَ

from

مِنْ

the category

قَبِيلِ

of disputing

التَّدَارُؤِ

using

بِالْقُرْآنِ

the Quran.

and I fear that this might be from the category of disputing using the Quran.
