The ruling on restricting the beast in the statement of Allah the Exalted: “He seized it by its forelock”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you, what is the benefit of restricting the beast to the one whose forelock Allah seized, given that Allah seizes the forelocks of all beasts?

Answer:
Yes, this is not a restrictive attribute; its meaning is a descriptive attribute. They call it a descriptive attribute that has no legal implication. It is a descriptive attribute, not a restrictive one. Indeed, Allah is the Owner of all things; everything is in the Hand of the One whose is the dominion of the heavens, so Blessed is He. And we seek refuge in Him. Everything. And to Him you will return. So everything. Everything is in the Hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). But the specification of the beast is because the beast is a moving creature and is generally a source of harm. Yes, otherwise Allah is in control of everything (Glorified and Exalted is He). The general rule is that harm is in the beast, and in the other verse: “And from the evil of what He created.”
