(When he comes to me walking, I go to him running)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
[Hadith: (When he comes to me walking, I go to him running)
The questioner: It is mentioned in the Qudsi hadith: (When he comes to me walking, I go to him running) Is it interpreted as al-Nawawi interpreted it, as mercy, or is it left as it appears?The Shaykh: Did the Companions hear this hadith from the Messenger of Allah?The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Did they say: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by running? And are you walking behind the Companions or ahead of them?The questioner: I am walking behind the Companions.
The Shaykh: Then be silent as they were silent, and regarding everything of the attributes of Allah, follow the path the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) followed.
The questioner: In your explanation of Riyadh al-Saliheen, is there a comment on al-Nawawi’s statement that it is mercy?
This is an error and this is distortion, and interpreting it as mercy is distorting the words from their places,Is Allah (Mighty and Majestic) incapable of saying: Whoever comes to me walking; His mercy?! He is not incapable,He said: I go to him running.
