The description of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as the remover of distress
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to say of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he is the remover of distress?
The Shaykh:
No, the one who removes distress is Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). No one removes distress or alleviates worry except Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). This is an exaggeration regarding the rights of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Saying "Allah removed the distress through him" is fine, but saying "he is the remover of distress" is not. Yes.
