Is it permissible to say, "I am relying on Allah and on you"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. If the word is not in accordance with the will, is it permissible to join the light? If I am relying on Allah and on him?

Answer : No, it is not permissible except with "thumma" (then). All cosmic matters are not permissible except with "thumma." As for legal matters, it is permissible with "wa" (and), such as "Allah and His Messenger know best," and also
If only they had been satisfied with what Allah and His Messenger gave themوَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَضُوا مَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
[At-Tawbah 9:59]
. This is a legal bestowal.
And they were not resentful except [for the fact] that Allah and His Messenger had enriched them of His bounty.وَمَا نَقَمُوا إِلَّا أَنْ أَغْنَاهُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ
[At-Tawbah 9:74]
This is also a legal enrichment. As for His saying,
And [remember, O Muhammad], when you said to the one on whom Allah bestowed favor and you bestowed favorوَإِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِي أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ
[Al-Ahzab 33:37]
, this is a correct cosmic statement, but the two blessings are different. So Allah blessed him with what? With Islam, and you blessed him with manumission, because the one referred to is Zayd ibn Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him).
