Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Oh Shaykh
The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
The questioner : The hadith of 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) in the two Sahihs:Sunan Ibn Majah 4241Hasan (Darussalam).
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner :Sunan Ibn Majah 4241Hasan (Darussalam) .
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Is this hadith among the hadiths of attributes, or does it have another aspect?
The Shaykh : I do not know if it has another aspect, but the tiredness of Allah is not like the tiredness of the servants of Allah. This is a principle that you all know, if Allah wills, regarding all the divine attributes, such as[Taha 20:5]. As Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The Istiwa' is known, the how is unknown, and asking about it is an innovation". The how is unknown, and the tiredness of Allah attributed in this hadith or mentioned in this hadith, its how is unknown. Even if some scholars said that this is of the nature of antithesis, there is no necessity for such a figurative interpretation as long as the divine attributes are described as stated in the noble verse: [Ash-Shuraa 42:11].
And we entrust you to Allah, for we are traveling tomorrow, if Allah wills. We ask you to pray for us to make it easy for us to return to you in the month of Ramadan to perform the 'Umrah, if Allah wills, once again.
The questioner : Last week, it was said that "hatta" means "law" (if). That is, "Indeed, Allah does not get tired, even if you get tired." Even if you get tired, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) does not get tired. If this is the linguistic implication and it is transmitted from the scholars of the Salaf, there is no harm in it. Who said this?
The questioner : By Allah, it seems to be Shaykh al-Jar Allah, I think, I mean, I think.
The student: Shaykh, in al-Fath, many opinions were mentioned that "hatta" means "law" (if).
The Shaykh : Who among the Salaf said this regarding this figurative interpretation, I mean.
The questioner : No, I mean among the scholars of creed in the Peninsula.
The Shaykh : In any case, if this is the case.
The questioner : On this aspect, we do not affirm tiredness.
The Shaykh : Yes, we do not affirm it if this is correct.
The questioner : Which Ramadan, O Shaykh, if Allah wills?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Which Ramadan, O Shaykh...
The Shaykh : Other than Ramadan.
The questioner : On which day?
The Shaykh : I cannot say on which day. If Allah wills, I will come to you in Ramadan, in the middle of it or at the end of it. Just pray for us.
The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
The questioner : The hadith of 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) in the two Sahihs:
for Allah does not get tired (of giving reward) but you get tired.
إن الله لا يمل حتى تملواThe Shaykh : How?
The questioner :
for Allah does not get tired (of giving reward) but you get tired.
إن الله لا يمل حتى تملواThe Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Is this hadith among the hadiths of attributes, or does it have another aspect?
The Shaykh : I do not know if it has another aspect, but the tiredness of Allah is not like the tiredness of the servants of Allah. This is a principle that you all know, if Allah wills, regarding all the divine attributes, such as
The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.
الرحمن على العرش استوىThere is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
ليس كمثله شيء وهو السميع البصيرAnd we entrust you to Allah, for we are traveling tomorrow, if Allah wills. We ask you to pray for us to make it easy for us to return to you in the month of Ramadan to perform the 'Umrah, if Allah wills, once again.
