Question:
What is the Muslim's position, he says, Shaykh, regarding hope and fear?
Answer:
Yes, the Muslim is between hope and fear; he does not give preference to hope alone, nor to fear alone, but he is between fear and hope. This is how the Muslim is: he does not give preference to the side of hope, for then he would be among the Murji'ah, nor does he give preference to the side of fear alone, for then he would be among the Khawarij, but he maintains balance between them. Yes.
