Is it correct to say that injustice is impossible in the case of Allah, meaning it is impossible in His right, and is this the statement of Shaykh Muhammad Rashid Rida?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the statement that injustice is impossible in the case of Allah, meaning it is impossible in His right, the statement of Shaykh Muhammad Rashid Rida, as clarified in the footnote? I hope you will clarify this for us.

The Shaykh:
What is the footnote? Bring the footnote.

The questioner:
A footnote, Shaykh, a footnote that only explains the meaning. It says: "But they disputed regarding the injustice that does not occur, and it was said that it is the impossible one." In the footnote, it means the impossible thing that His power, the Exalted, does not extend to. Then in parentheses: Rashid Rida (may Allah have mercy on him).

The Shaykh:
What is he saying?

The questioner:
They disputed regarding the injustice that does not occur, and it was said that it is the impossible one. He commented on it in the footnote, meaning the impossible thing that His power, the Exalted, does not extend to.

The Shaykh:
This is a correct comment by Muhammad Rashid Rida (may Allah have mercy on him). He printed the letters of the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and his works, and he has good comments, although he errs in some of them. But his direction, in general, is good and Salafi in general. However, some errors may occur on his part due to haste in commenting or not referring to the sources, and the meaning is that no one becomes infallible.
