Seeking Refuge in One of Allah’s Attributes from Another
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The guest of the Shaykh and his reading said: Does the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan an-Nasa'i 1100Sahih (Darussalam) indicate the permissibility of seeking refuge in one of Allah’s attributes from another? Yes.
Answer:
It is permissible; this is explicit. One seeks refuge in His pleasure from His displeasure, (Glorified and Exalted is He), meaning one takes shelter and turns to the pleasure of Allah from the displeasure of Allah, (Mighty and Majestic). And at its end, one turns to Allah from His anger and His punishment, (Glorified and Exalted is He), that is, opposing attributes. One seeks refuge in mercy from punishment, in pleasure from anger, and in Him from Him, (Glorified and Exalted is He), because no one can protect from Allah except Allah, (Exalted and Majestic is He), who grants safety and is not overpowered.
