Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, the father. The questioner says: I heard one of the exegetes, when he interpreted the statement of Allah the Exalted[Sad 38:17], say that the intended meaning of "al-ayd" is that he was one who gave abundantly and participated in matters of good and kindness, and was quick to do good deeds. Is his statement correct?
Answer:
Yes, this falls within the meaning of the verse. The verse intends strength, and it also intends giving, generosity, and spending in the cause of Allah. Yes, this is also part of strength. Yes.
