The wisdom behind the fact that the firebrand does not reach some of those who eavesdrop on the unseen
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it not taken from the fact that the firebrand does not reach the one who eavesdrops on the unseen at times, because Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, knows that he did not lie in this instance?
Answer:
No, but Allah enables him to do so to test the people, to test the heart: who is the one who believes the fortune-teller and who is the one who denies him? The believer denies the fortune-teller and does not acknowledge this word that was disguised. As for the one whose faith is weak, he may believe the fortune-teller. This is for the purpose of distinguishing, distinguishing the sincere believer from others.
