Combining the negation of any right a created being has over Allah with the right of the servants over Him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: How do we reconcile the aforementioned point that no created being has any right over Allah with what is reported in the hadith that the right of Allah over the servants is that the right of the servants over Allah is that He does not punish those who do not associate partners with Him?
Answer:
He obligated upon Himself what no one else obligated upon Him. It is a right by which Allah showed favor, and He, the Exalted, obligated upon Himself what the servants obligated upon Him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
