Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the phrase "Hasbi Allah 'alayk" imply that the speaker is invoking a curse upon the other?
Answer:
I do not know; this is not standard Arabic. It appears to be on the tongues of the common people. "Hasbi Allah 'alayk"—if he said "Hasbuna Allah" or "Hasbi Allah," that is one thing, but saying "'alayk" (upon you), I do not know about that; I do not know if it is Arabic or not. Yes, "Hasbuna Allah" is what is said, not "Hasbuna Allah 'alayhim" (upon them) or "Hasbi Allah wa ni'm al-wakil." Yes, you say it that way. Yes.
