The authenticity of the hadith: Cursed is the one who asks in the face of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the authenticity of the hadith
Answer:
Yes, the Face of Allah and the attributes of Allah are great, and it is not permissible to ask by them for anything other than Paradise; one does not ask by them for trivial matters. This is because it constitutes a desecration of the names of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and it is a deficiency in tawhid (the oneness of Allah). This is something that diminishes tawhid. The Shaykh mentioned this in the book *Tawhid*, in the chapter "One does not ask by the Face of Allah except for Paradise." So, if a person asks by the Face of Allah for a matter of this world, this is prohibited, because it indicates a lack of respect for the names of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
