Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a difference between a person saying, “I have placed my trust in you,” and saying, “I have relied on you”?
Answer:
The difference is in the wording; the meaning is the same. You do not say, “I have relied on you, I have relied on you”; that means placing trust in him. But say, “I have entrusted you, I have delegated to you, I have sent you.” The Arabic language, praise be to Allah, is expansive. You will find a word that involves no problem. Yes.
