Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Is the supplication of Khubayb against the disbelievers, "O Allah, count them by number and leave none of them behind," used as evidence for the permissibility of supplicating for the destruction of all disbelievers?
Answer:
He was supplicating against the disbelievers. Khubayb supplicated against the disbelievers who had harmed him, oppressed him, and wanted to kill him, so he supplicated against them. He did not intend for Allah to destroy all the disbelievers on earth; rather, he intended those specific disbelievers who had oppressed him and harmed him, who wanted to prevent him from his religion.
