Ibn Al-Qayyim is speaking about the miraculous change of the descendants of Ishmael pbuh after the prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and how the people of the book interpret that event, he said :
“God sent Muhammad ﷺ (an Ishmaelite) after that there is no rule more powerful than theirs on earth, they’ve crushed the biggest empires, they’ve crushed the rule of Persia and Rome and all the pagans in their way…”
“The Jews will then say : we don’t deny that, but the good tidings to Hagar and Abraham is about that rulership(Islamic Arab empire) not with prophethood and a law from God(they will just be a great nation in number)…”
“The Muslims reply by saying : there’s two kinds of rulership : 1-A rule without prophethood and guidance from God, which is the rule of mighty tyrannic kings, Or 2-A rule which stems from a prophethood(similar to the Israelites who became a great nation after Moses Deu 4:7-8)…”
“We know the prophecy and the good tidings to Hagar and Abraham about their son Ishmael wasn’t fulfilled with the first kind of rulership(a tyrannic, blind and a godless king) and how can that be good tidings to them ?…”
“Even worse then that how can it be fulfilled by a ruler who falsely claimed prophethood and revelation when in reality he lied about God! According to them it has been fulfilled by the worst of the creation, this isn’t good tidings…”
“This shouldn’t have been good tidings to them, rather this should’ve been a warning, a bad news, just like that of the Anti-Christ, rather this is more evil than Sennacherib and Nebuchadnezzar, and all the tyrannic kings who lied about God!…”
“Then this wasn’t supposed to be good tidings to reassure Abraham and Hagar that Ishmael will live before God and under his blessings…”
“Rather according to these disbelieves the speech was like this : regarding your son he will be unjust, a tyrant, who will falsely oppress people, he will kiII God’s servants, and change their religion to falsehood.
Those who believe in this have made a great slander upon God”
Those who believe in this have made a great slander upon God”

In conclusion: Ibn Al-Qayyim is highlighting the contradiction between God’s promise to Abraham regarding Ishmael in the Bible, and how the Jews and Christians interpret the rise of Islam after the coming of the prophet Muhammad ﷺ the son of Ishmael pbuh.
