Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Ibn Majah 4241Hasan (Darussalam), is a description of Allah's attributes taken from this?
Answer:
No, the wording of the hadith is cited as: "He does not get tired until you get tired." It is not said that Allah gets tired. This is a matter of correspondence (muqabalah), where it is not permissible to delete part of the statement and respond to only part of it.[At-Tawbah 9:79] Does this not indicate that Allah mocks? Rather, it is said that Allah mocks those who mock His servants and ridicules those who ridicule His servants. Both matters are mentioned, because this is a matter of retribution and correspondence.
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
for Allah does not get tired (of giving reward) but you get tired.
فإن الله لا يمل حتى تملواAnswer:
No, the wording of the hadith is cited as: "He does not get tired until you get tired." It is not said that Allah gets tired. This is a matter of correspondence (muqabalah), where it is not permissible to delete part of the statement and respond to only part of it.
so they ridicule them - Allah will ridicule them
فَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ سَخِرَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ
