Explanation of the statement of the one who says to the person whom Allah struck in the morning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
So I left its meaning and said: If a person strikes another, he says to him, "Did Allah strike you in the morning?" What does this mean?
The Shaykh:
What he intends is the denial of divine decree (qadar). If he had killed this person, he would be a disbeliever. But by "in the morning" he means without an appointment; he did not expect to overpower him, nor did he promise him. "In the morning" means, as far as he is concerned, it happened unexpectedly. As for the divine decree, if he believed in that, it would be easy.
