What is the ruling on saying, "Praise be to Allah, Who is not praised for any disliked thing other than Him"?

Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: What is the ruling on some people saying, "Praise be to Allah, Who is not praised for any disliked thing other than Him," and is this proper conduct toward Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?

Answer:
I do not know this to be narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because Allah does not decree anything except what contains good. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) does not decree anything except for a wisdom and a benefit, even if it is something people dislike. In it is great wisdom and benefit, so in relation to Allah, it is all good. As for in relation to people, it may contain dislike for them, but its outcome is good. For example, the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) and qisas (retaliation in kind), such as cutting off the hand, are undoubtedly disliked by people because they cause them pain, but their outcome is praiseworthy. Allah decreed them as mercy for the community and legislated them as mercy for the community, so that they would protect their blood, wealth, and honor, and to deter from security. The harm that occurs in them is partial, whereas the benefit is general; its benefit is greater than the harm that occurs in it. So it is good. Allah does not legislate anything except that it contains good, even if it is disliked by some people or painful to some people, but there is good in it. So Allah is praised in every state, praised for everything that He decrees and determines (Glorified and Exalted is He).
