It is stated in the Khutbat al-Hajah (the sermon of necessity): “(Whoever Allah guides is the one who is rightly guided, and whoever He misguides has no guide).” Why did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not say “Whoever He misguides”?

The questioner : There is a question regarding the Khutbat al-Hajah concerning the wording “Whoever He guides” and “Whoever He misguides.” The question is why it did not come as “And whoever He misguides,” because Allah says
Whoever Allah guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray من يهد الله فهو المهتدي ومن يضلل
[Al-A'raf 7:178]
. Is this second pronoun in the sermon established in the text of the sermon? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : In the sermon, it is not stated as “Whoever Allah guides has no misguidance for him, and whoever He misguides has no guide for him,” because the concept of the object is understood from the context, so there is no need to state it explicitly. This is a style well-known in the Arabic language.
