Question:
Abu 'Abdullah says: Shaykh, what is the meaning ofSahih al-Bukhari 6615?
Answer:
The meaning is clear: no one can prevent Allah's giving to His servants (Glorified and Exalted is He), and no one can give to the servants if Allah has withheld from them and prevented them. No one can give them except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). He is the One who gives and withholds, who lowers and raises, who forgives sins, who covers defects, and who overlooks sins and evil deeds. This is part of His affair (Glorified and Exalted is He), and it is from His grace and generosity toward His servants. Yes.
