And I will be sincere to Allah, then to His Messenger *** and His Book and the laws of faith (Interpretation of the verse by removing the preposition)

The Shaykh :"And I will be sincere" In my opinion: And I will be sincere to Allah, is that how you all understand it?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes, meaning I will be sincere for the sake of Allah. If the verse had been: "And I will be sincere for the sake of Allah, then to His Messenger, His Book, and the laws of faith," if the verse had been like that, it would have been correct, and "I will be sincere for the sake of Allah" would have matched the wording of the hadith But as for the copies that are in our hands: "And I will be sincere to Allah," the meaning is that I will be sincere for Him, so it is in the accusative case by removing the preposition.
