Question:
The questioner: My father, the noble Shaykh, is it permissible to say that you are called "Mubarak" in prison, like the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Nuh 71:10] Allah [Nuh 71:10] Sar and Sar?
Answer:
The Shaykh: There is no harm in that. The meaning of *mubalaghah* (hyperbole) is the abundance of a thing. *Ghaffar* means One who is abundant in forgiveness. So when they say *mubalaghah*, it means an expression of abundance, the abundance of a thing.[Nuh 71:10] means One who is abundant in forgiveness. This is the meaning of *mubalaghah*, and the increase in forgiveness. So there is no harm in this term. Yes.
