That the intended meaning is a threat accompanied by an example.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : That the intended meaning is a threat; this is what we said first. The example is the saying of Allah the Exalted:

Allah has certainly heard the statement of those [Jews] who said, "Indeed, Allah is poor, while we are rich."

لقد سمع الله قول الذين قالوا إن الله فقير ونحن أغنياء

[Ali 'Imran 3:181]

So what is the intended meaning of that? It is a threat. Allah threatens those who said this terrible statement, as evidenced by His saying:

We will record what they said and their killing of the prophets without right and will say, "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire. ⁽¹⁸²⁾ That is for what your hands have put forth and because Allah is not ever unjust to [His] servants."

سنكتب ما قالوا وقتلهم الأنبياء بغير حق ونقول ذوقوا عذاب الحريق ذلك بما قدمت أيديكم وأن الله ليس بظلام للعبيد

[Ali 'Imran 3:181-182]
