Question:
This person is asking about the noble verse in His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He: I seek refuge[An-Nahl 16:98] [Al-Jinn 72:16-17].
Answer:
Yes, Allah, Glorious and Majestic, says[Al-Jinn 72:16] meaning the disbelievers. If the disbelievers had remained steadfast upon the path of disbelief, that would not prevent Allah, Exalted and Exalted, from sending them rain as a means of luring them. As a means of luring them. It was also said that [Al-Jinn 72:16] means upon the path of Islam. And perhaps this is the stronger opinion. If they had remained steadfast upon the Path, We would have given them abundant water. In the hadith: Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 25:457 Yes.

in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].
بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ(16) And [Allah revealed] that if they had remained straight on the way, We would have given them abundant provision (17) So We might test them therein. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord He will put into arduous punishment.
وَأَن لَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُم مَّاءً غَدَقًا لِّنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِAnswer:
Yes, Allah, Glorious and Majestic, says
And [Allah revealed] that if they had remained straight on the way
وَأَن لَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِif they had remained straight on the way
لَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِIf My servants had worshipped Me with true worship, I would have sent them rain at night and made the sun rise for them by day, and I would not have let them hear the sound of thunder.
لو أن عبادي عبدوني حق عبادتي لأسقيتهم المطر بالليل وأطلعت عليهم الشمس بالنهار ولم أسمعهم صوت الرعد.The presenter:
