Question:
And he asks: What is the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Not for you, [O Muhammad, but for Allah], is the decisionلَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ
[Ali 'Imran 3:128]
?

Answer:
When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the Battle of Uhud, “O Allah, curse so-and-so and so-and-so,” in the witr prayer, in the qunut of the witr, Allah rebuked him for that. And He said:
Not for you, [O Muhammad, but for Allah], is the decision whether He should [cut them down] or forgive them or punish themلَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ
[Ali 'Imran 3:128]
. And they repented and submitted; good was their submission. The Messenger does not know the unseen. The Messenger does not know the unseen. When he said, “O Allah, curse so-and-so and so-and-so,” Allah rebuked him; because Allah knows what their condition will be in the future, and they repented and submitted, and good was their submission. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
