Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it correct to say that the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Mujadila 58:10] [An-Nisa 4:114] indicates? Thus, is there no good in forbidden or permissible whispering except when there is good in it?
Answer:
The discussion concerns the whispering mentioned in the verses, which is the whispering of those who stay behind and the disbelievers. The definite article in “the whispering” indicates a specific reference, meaning the whispering mentioned is from Satan. As for whispering in good, that is from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), not from Satan. Satan does not command it; Satan does not command whispering in secret. Yes.
