The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. His statement, “By the right of the questioners,” you mentioned, may Allah preserve you, that it is suitable to be an oath by one of the attributes of Allah. Is my understanding correct that “by the right”
The Shaykh:
It is suitable, my brother. This is the established view; this is the established view. There is no other aspect to it. “I ask you by the right of the questioners” — no, he said, “By the right of the questioners upon you.” What is the right of the questioners? It is that the right of the questioners is upon Allah to answer them. So it is a right that He obligated upon Himself, and it is an action among His actions and an attribute among His attributes. Yes.
