Question:
Honorable Shaykh! The brother Abu Ibrahim asks: What is the ruling on this statement: “The mercy of Allah overtook me, so I was saved from death”?
Answer:
This wording is not appropriate. You should say, “Allah overtook me with His mercy.” Do not attribute the thing to the attribute, to an attribute of Allah, but rather attribute it to Allah. Say, “Allah overtook me with His mercy,” and the like. Yes.
