Question:
What is the ruling on a person saying, "Allah is sufficient for me against you, O so-and-so"?
Answer:
"Allah is sufficient for me against you. Against you." This is in the common dialect, "Allah is sufficient for me against you." But if he says, "May Allah suffice you," meaning that Allah will reward you, and by Allah, He is sufficient for me regarding you, or "Allah is sufficient for me," and he does not say "against you," then it is "Allah is sufficient for us and He is the best Disposer of affairs," as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions said when the threat of the disbelievers reached them:[Ali 'Imran 3:173] [Ali 'Imran 3:173] They did not say, "Allah is sufficient for us against them," but they said, "Allah is sufficient for us and He is the best Disposer of affairs." Yes.

Those to whom hypocrites said, "Indeed, the people
الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْgathered against you, so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs."
جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزَادَهُمْ إِيمَانًا وَقَالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
