Explanation of the Book of Prayer and Its Times-05a
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Abdullah ibn Muslimah narrated to us from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 530a.
The Shaykh : Some scholars, indeed many of the exegetes, explain "May Allah fight" as meaning "May Allah curse," similar to[At-Tawbah 9:30]. They say that "May Allah fight" means "May Allah curse," and it appears they derived this from this hadith, where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used the word "fight" in one instance and "curse" in another. The apparent view is the opposite, because "May Allah fight" refers to the consequences that result, and it is known that one whom Allah fights is what? He is defeated and abandoned. Thus, this is more emphatic than saying "May Allah curse," because the curse indicates distance from the mercy of Allah, whereas this indicates that they are at war with Allah and that Allah is fighting them. Yes, father.
