(Clarifying that harm is not the same as injury, and that no one can harm Allah, but they do hurt Him) This and that by His hearing and His knowledge *** If He willed, He would hasten their punishment with every humiliation, but He spares them

The Shaykh :"This and that by His hearing and His knowledge *** If He willed, He would hasten their punishment with every humiliation"
That is, with every punishment that would bring them into a state of humiliation
"But He spares them and provides for them, while *** they hurt Him with shirk (associating partners with Allah) and denial"
(Glorified and Exalted is He) How patient Allah is! And the author’s statement: "they hurt Him" We must know that injury (adha) is not the same as harm (darr). No one can harm Allah, as Allah the Exalted said: And in the Qudsi Hadith: Unlike injury, which is established. Allah said: And Allah said in the Qudsi Hadith: Injury does not necessarily entail harm. The evidence for this is reality: a person is bothered by the smell of onions and garlic, but he is not harmed by it. He is bothered if there is a person praying near him who is packed tightly so that he can barely move; he is bothered by this, but he is not harmed by it. Therefore, injury does not necessitate harm. For this reason, injury is established in the case of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), while harm is negated. Yes.
