Question:
Some people say, “Shaykh, if a person loses money, a need, or something from the affairs of life, and he says a hundred times that he is capable of recovering it, does he find that lost item?”
Answer:
I do not know of any evidence for this. And His saying[At-Tariq 86:8] is about the resurrection; indeed, Allah is able to restore a person as He created him the first time. Yes.
