Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan ad-Darimi 19:69, does that apply to something like gratitude, such as if I say “I thank Allah and so-and-so,” or “I thank Allah and my parents,” or is it necessary to use “then”?
Answer:
No, you use “then.” “I thank Allah, then I thank you.” This is what the practice is now: “I thank Allah, then I thank you for such and such.” You do not combine Allah and the created being with “and.”
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Do not say, “What Allah willed and what Muhammad willed,” but say, “What Allah willed, then what Muhammad willed.”
لا تقولوا ما شاء الله وشاء محمد، ولكن قولوا ما شاء الله ثم محمدAnswer:
No, you use “then.” “I thank Allah, then I thank you.” This is what the practice is now: “I thank Allah, then I thank you for such and such.” You do not combine Allah and the created being with “and.”
