Question:
In his other question, which is his last, he asks: What is the meaning of the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic:[Al-Hadid 57:4]?
Answer:
He is with you by His encompassing knowledge of you. Companionship is of two types: general companionship for all creation, where He is with creation by His knowledge and encompassing awareness; and special companionship for the believers, as in His saying, the Exalted:[At-Tawbah 9:40] This is a special companionship for the believers. "Do not grieve." The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not grieve," to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) when they were in the cave. "Indeed, Allah is with us." He was with them by His knowledge and encompassing awareness, and by His victory and support. The second type of companionship is a special companionship, meaning victory and support: [Taha 20:46] This is a special companionship. Yes.
