Discussion of the name al-Jawwad, its attribute of generosity, and its evidence: He is al-Jawwad, and His generosity encompasses all of existence with favor and kindness. He is al-Jawwad, so He does not disappoint

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said: "He is al-Jawwad, and His generosity *** encompasses all of existence with favor and kindness"
Al-Jawwad is the One who gives abundantly. So He, Blessed and Exalted is He, is the One who gives abundantly. His generosity has encompassed all of existence with favor and kindness. The name al-Jawwad has come in the hadith of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari, the Qudsi hadith:
O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself يا عبادي إني حرمت الظلم على نفسي
Sahih Muslim 2577a
Likewise
"He is al-Jawwad, so He does not disappoint a supplicant *** even if he is from the people of disbelief"
He is al-Jawwad, so He does not disappoint a supplicant, even if he is a disbeliever. But this is in a state of dire necessity, or if a disbeliever supplicates while he is oppressed. In that case, Allah answers his supplication, even if he is a disbeliever. And He answers his supplication if he is in dire necessity, even if he is a disbeliever
