Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks the Honorable Shaykh about the phrase, “Allah has afflicted me with this matter,” as if one were to say, “Allah has afflicted me with these undutiful children.”
Answer:
This indicates distress, so he must be patient and not become distressed or complain. He should be patient with what Allah has decreed for him, conduct himself well with his children, and ask Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to guide them and turn them back to the right path, and to treat them with good treatment. Yes.
