The meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And do not put in our hearts any resentment toward those who have believed," and an explanation of taking the means that repel enmity and hatred among the believers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :[Al-Hashr 59:10] "Ghala" means hatred and enmity toward those who have believed. That is, those who preceded us or those who preceded us and those who came after? Our brothers. Those who preceded us and those who came after means: do not make us hate those who preceded us in faith, namely the Muhajireen and the Ansar. And do not hate those who were in our time among the believers. And do not bear hatred or enmity toward them. This supplication is a supplication asking Allah (Mighty and Majestic). But it is obligatory for a person, when he supplicates to Allah for something, to do the means that lead to it. Pay attention to this point: a person asks Allah (Mighty and Majestic) for his religious and worldly needs. But when he asks Allah, he must do the means that lead to it. Have you seen if a man said, "O Allah, provide me with a righteous child," but he did not get married? Is this appropriate or not appropriate?
The student: Not appropriate.
The Shaykh : By Allah, I do not know; perhaps you came because he wants this. Not appropriate. How can he want children without marriage? This is impossible. Likewise, if you ask Allah to guide you, it does not mean that you ask Allah to guide you and remain lying on your back on your bed. You must work; do the means of guidance. So here[Al-Hashr 59:10]. You ask Allah not to put enmity in your heart, so do not follow the faults of your believing brothers. Do not follow the faults of your believing brothers, because if you follow their faults, something will inevitably occur in your heart. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned against following the faults of the believers and said: . So, as long as you ask Allah not to put enmity in your heart, do not do what is a cause for enmity. Do not rebuke your brother, do not harm him, do not sell over his sale, do not buy over his purchase, do not propose a marriage over his proposal, until what is in your heart of hatred is removed and hatred and enmity are prevented in your heart.
and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed
