The Meaning of "Bi-ka Khasamtu" in Supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : This is the hadith. And it was not expected in it. I mean, for example, it is not a specific case.
Answer : No, no, no, there is no harm, because "bi-ka khasamtu," if the dispute actually took place, then the action is in the past; and if it did not take place, then I am prepared for this. This is the meaning. It carries the meaning of "wa-bi-ka ukhasim" (and with you I will dispute), because the "ba" here is for seeking aid. The meaning is that it is for the circumstance, or rather, it is for seeking aid: "with you I dispute" or "with you I disputed," meaning I seek aid, or I sought aid from you in the dispute.
