Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is saying "Hasbi Allah" considered a curse against a person when he suffers harm or injustice?
Answer:
"Hasbi Allah" means "Allah is sufficient for me." If he intends by this to threaten someone, some people say "Hasbi Allah 'alayk" (Allah is sufficient against you), "Hasbi Allah 'alayk," meaning as if he is threatening him. But "Hasbi Allah" alone, yes, that is fine, for Allah is the sufficient protector for everyone. Yes.
