The meaning of the poet's statement: "So upon them is the anger of the Most Merciful"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The poet (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
upon them is wrath fromفَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنَ
[An-Nahl 16:106]
. You mentioned at the beginning of the lesson that when making supplication, one should use an appropriate attribute. Here, the two do not match, so what is your opinion on this?

Answer:
The anger of the Most Merciful is from Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). The Most Merciful is Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), meaning it is the anger of Allah. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
upon them is wrath from Allahفَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ
[An-Nahl 16:106]
. The Most Merciful is Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). It is not as if He said, "O Most Merciful, be angry with you." If we say in supplication, "O Most Merciful, be angry with you," that is the anger of the Most Merciful, the anger of Allah, the anger of the Mighty. There is no harm in that.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
