Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :Sunan Abi Dawud 1425Sahih (Al-Albani) And this is like an explanation of what we said previously: .
So if Allah befriends a person, he is not humiliated, and if Allah opposes a person, he is not honored.
The meaning of this is that we seek honor from Allah, and we seek protection from Allah the Exalted against humiliation, by Allah the Mighty and Majestic.
And we limit ourselves to this extent of what is said in the qunut supplication.
He whom Thou befriendest is not humbled
إنه لا يذل من واليت ولا يعز من عاديتAnd He befriends those whom He befriends
وتولنا فيمن توليتSo if Allah befriends a person, he is not humiliated, and if Allah opposes a person, he is not honored.
The meaning of this is that we seek honor from Allah, and we seek protection from Allah the Exalted against humiliation, by Allah the Mighty and Majestic.
And we limit ourselves to this extent of what is said in the qunut supplication.
