The questioner : What is the meaning of this supplication: ?
The Shaykh : I do not know of any basis for this supplication in the Sunnah, but it is on the tongues of some people. Its meaning is that anything Allah does not make easy for a person will not be easy for him, because what is easy is what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has made easy. And al-hazn, meaning the severe and difficult, if Allah (Mighty and Majestic) wills to make it easy, He makes it easy and light. Just as the easy, if Allah the Exalted wills, He makes it difficult and hard, because all matters are in the hand of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
