Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner says: Is this phrase in conflict with the creed, namely, “From the time so-and-so came to us, we received a blessing”?
The Shaykh:
This is optimism; there is nothing wrong with it. This falls under the category of optimism. Yes.
The questioner:
And likewise, may Allah preserve you, saying, “We are still in the blessing of so-and-so.”
The Shaykh:
No, that is an exaggeration. That is an exaggeration regarding the blessing of Allah. Yes.
