Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 64:1026 He says: And it is also reported from the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih al-Bukhari 5662 How do you reconcile between the two?
Answer:
This is not a supplication. "There is no harm, it is a purification, if Allah wills" is not a supplication. This is a type of statement, not a supplication. If he said, "O Allah, heal him if You will" or "O Allah, have mercy on him if You will," that is not permissible. But "it is a purification, if Allah wills" is from the category of statement and optimism. Yes.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
Let none of you say, "O Allah, forgive me if You will," or "O Allah, have mercy on me if You will," but let him be decisive in his request.
لا يقل أحدكم اللهم اغفر لي إن شئت، اللهم ارحمني إن شئت، ولكن ليعزم المسألةDon't worry, Allah willing, (your sickness will be) an expiation for your sins.
