Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Allah the Exalted says:[Taha 20:130] He says: Do not intend by "satisfaction" here in this verse.
The Shaykh:
Allah satisfies you with it,[Al-Ma'idah 5:119], He gives you of the good reward and bliss that you are satisfied with regarding Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. May Allah be pleased with them and may they be pleased with Him.
The questioner:
He says to you: You were a traveler, so I intended to tire myself.
The Shaykh:
This is evidence that there is no good reward except through action,[Taha 20:130]. This is the cause, and all that came before it are causes; so nothing exists except through its causes. Yes.
Allah the Exalted says:
So be patient over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied.
فَاصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا وَمِنْ آنَاءِ اللَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْ وَأَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضَىٰThe Shaykh:
Allah satisfies you with it,
Allah being pleased with them, and they with Him
رَّضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُThe questioner:
He says to you: You were a traveler, so I intended to tire myself.
The Shaykh:
This is evidence that there is no good reward except through action,
So be patient over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied.
