Question:
Therefore, Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, is it correct for us to say that Allah knows what would have been the case if it had happened? Is this phrase weak, and has this expression been transmitted with a chain of narration?
Answer:
Yes, they say, "He knows what was, what will be, and what would have been the case if it had happened." They cited as evidence for this His saying:[Al-An'am 6:28]. Their return to the world never actually occurred; it is impossible. And yet, He knows what would have happened if they had been returned, and if they had been returned, they would have called out to Him. Yes.

وَلَوْ رُدُّوا لَعَادُوا لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ
