In the hadith, “I did not hesitate over anything… as I hesitated over taking the soul of My servant,” is it taken from this that hesitation is among the attributes of Allah?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in the qudsi hadith , he says: Is it taken from this that hesitation is among the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?

Answer:
My brother, complete the hadith so that you know . The meaning of Allah’s hesitation is that He dislikes what His believing servant and His close friend dislikes. Yes. “I did not hesitate over anything I am doing as I hesitated over taking the soul of My believing servant. He dislikes death.” This is its interpretation: he dislikes death, and I dislike its hardship, yet he must face it. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says, “yet he must face it,” meaning he must face death. Yes.
