Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
How authentic is this hadith, and what is its meaning in the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding three people whose supplication Allah does not accept, among whom is mentioned the one who has a wife, meaning one of bad character, and does not divorce her?
The Shaykh:
In the Sunan, it requires consideration. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Is it from envy? May Allah reward you?
The Shaykh:
Yes, among them is the one who sold to him what he saw; generally, it is what he saw with his own eyes, occurring unintentionally. As for his intending what is permissible, it is a kind of injustice, not kindness, it is injustice.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh:
But if it is without his choice,[Al-Baqarah 2:286].
The questioner:
From some of what he sees, he is surprised by it and says, "I do not look at it."
The Shaykh:
And when he sees something, he says, "May Allah bless it. What Allah willed, there is no power except with Allah." When he is pleased with something, he says, "O Allah, bless it. What Allah willed, there is no power except with Allah," just as the Exalted said:[Al-Kahf 18:39] I went to the people [Al-Kahf 18:39]. And when he sees something, he says, "Bless it," meaning, "May Allah bless it. O Allah, bless it."
Another questioner:
So in reality, your action is achieved. Say, for example, say "La ilaha illa Allah." Some people say, "Remember Allah." Say "La ilaha illa Allah."
The Shaykh:
So he says, "What Allah willed[Al-Kahf 18:39] O Allah, bless it."
The questioner:
Three things from which no one is safe: taking an omen, suspicion, and envy. It was said, soJami` at-Tirmidhi 2906Da'if (Darussalam) if you take an omen, do not return, if you suspect, do not verify, and if you envy
The Shaykh:
...do not investigate.
The questioner:
So do not verify it, and if you envy, do not hate. Is this correct?
The Shaykh:
So he does not know his state; he does not know his state.
The questioner:
May Allah guide you. This saying: "No body is free from envy, but the noble one conceals it."
The Shaykh:
Allah knows best. It is not upon you.

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَاThe questioner:
From some of what he sees, he is surprised by it and says, "I do not look at it."

And when he sees something, he says, "May Allah bless it. What Allah willed, there is no power except with Allah." When he is pleased with something, he says, "O Allah, bless it. What Allah willed, there is no power except with Allah," just as the Exalted said:
And why did you, when
وَلَوْلَا إِذْsay, 'What Allah willed [has occurred]; there is no power except in Allah '
قُلْتَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِAnother questioner:

What is the way out from it O Messenger of Allah?" He said:
ما المخرج منها يا رسول الله؟ قالThe Shaykh:
...do not investigate.

So he does not know his state; he does not know his state.
