Question:
He asks: Is the perfection of reliance upon Allah that one does not say, "I have placed my trust in Allah, then in you"?
Answer:
No, you do not say to a created being, "I have placed my trust in you" using that specific wording. The phrase "I have placed my trust" (tawakkaltu) is not said except to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). As for a created being, you say, "I have entrusted you" (wakaltuka). You say, "I have entrusted you," and you do not say, "I have placed my trust in you." Yes.
