Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the hadithSahih al-Bukhari 43, does this establish the attribute of weariness for Allah, or how is this?
Answer:
It is not said that Allah grows weary; rather, it is saidSunan Ibn Majah 4241Hasan (Darussalam). The wording of the hadith is answered from the perspective of contrast, like [At-Tawbah 9:79], and like "and they plotted, and Allah plotted." This is from the perspective of contrast. You do not say "Allah plotted" alone; you say [Ali 'Imran 3:54]: He plots against whoever plots against Him or against His awliya (close friends of Allah). You do not answer with part of it and leave out the rest. These are matters of contrast that must all be included. Yes.
