Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) hadith: “No one is more jealous than Allah”? Does this imply using the term “person” for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)?
Answer:
My brother, this falls under the category of informing, whereas they are in the category of naming. You do not distinguish between informing and naming. Informing is broader than the category of naming. This is a principle among the scholars. Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned it in *Bada’i’ al-Fawa’id*. That the category of informing is broader than the category of naming. This is from the category of informing. The Messenger informs that no one is more jealous than Allah.
