The meaning of "Allah does not get tired until you get tired"?

Question : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, as is known to you in the hadith , does this hadith mean that Allah has the attribute of getting tired, or is there another meaning for it? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.

Answer : It is known that the principle among the people of the Sunnah and the community is that we describe Allah the Exalted with what He has described Himself with, without likening Him to creation or asking how an attribute is. So, if this hadith indicates that Allah has getting tired, then Allah's getting tired is not like our getting tired; rather, it is a getting tired that contains nothing of deficiency. As for the getting tired of a human being, it contains something of deficiency because he becomes exhausted mentally and physically by what has befallen him due to his lack of strength to bear it. As for Allah's getting tired, if this hadith indicates it, then it is a getting tired that befits Him (Mighty and Majestic) and does not entail any deficiency in any way.
