Like the Preventer and the Giver, and like the Harmer who*** is the Benefactor, and the perfection of both matters (Discussion of the dual name of Allah, al-Mani' al-Mu'ti, and clarification that al-Mu'ti may be used alone, unlike al-Mani')
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Al-Mani' al-Mu'ti (The Preventer and the Giver) is among the names of Allah, according to the author's statement, al-Mani' al-Mu'ti. It is not possible to use al-Mani' (The Preventer) alone, because if you isolate al-Mani' alone, that implies a deficiency, for prevention involves stinginess and miserliness, and Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is free from that.
So when you pair al-Mani' with al-Mu'ti, the combination of the two yields a meaning not obtained by isolating each one. That is the perfection of His disposition: because of the perfection of His disposition and His dominion, He is a Preventer, what? A Giver. This is the difference. But if you isolate al-Mu'ti alone, it appears that there is no objection to it, because al-Mu'ti alone does not imply a deficiency; what implies a deficiency is isolating al-Mani'.
