The Speech of Limbs, Pebbles, and Stones
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. The limbs will speak on the Day of Resurrection, and likewise the pebbles; they chanted in the hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the stone spoke. So do we say that this speech is without a manner, or does it have a manner?
Answer:
This is speech that we affirm. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is able to make the stone speak, to make inanimate objects speak, and to make the limbs speak. This is part of the power of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). They speak with speech that is heard, according to their creation and according to what Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) places in them of the ability to speak. Allah is able to do all things; He makes speak what He wills (Glorified and Exalted is He).
