The Shaykh :"And he brought 'Wherein' as an affirmation and a speech *** You said this is from slander"
Who said "Wherein is Allah"? The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), he said to the slave girl whom Mu'awiyah ibn al-Hakim freed, he said to her:Sunan Abi Dawud 3282Sahih (Al-Albani) And he testified to her faith when she affirmed that her Lord is the One in the heaven, and it is mentioned that he said to Husayn, Abu 'Imran ibn Husayn: .
And what do you have? So ask for us?
The student : So our question.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, it appears that "So our question" is better.
"So our question with 'Wherein' is like our question *** What is the creation in your view, are they two things"
Meaning: that the question with "Wherein" is only about the created being, meaning: Where is he created? Where is he present? So it is a question about place. If it is said: Where is so-and-so, what is the answer?
The student : In his house, for example.
The Shaykh : In his house, in the mosque, in the market, but if it is said: Where is so-and-so? He says: Tomorrow. Huh? Is it correct or not correct? It is not correct. Where is so-and-so? Flesh and sinew. Huh?
The student: It is not correct
The Shaykh : If you answer the questioner "Where is so-and-so?" He says: By Allah, so-and-so is flesh and sinew and bones. He says: Are you crazy, or am I crazy? I ask you where he is, and you answer me about his essence and his nature.
So "Wherein" is only asked about what? About place, without doubt, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the most eloquent of creation and the most knowledgeable of them regarding the meanings of the Arabic language, when he said: Wherein? He is not asking what is Allah, nor asking where is his power, he is asking about Allah Himself, where is He? And the woman answered in the heaven, and this is very clear.
Who said "Wherein is Allah"? The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), he said to the slave girl whom Mu'awiyah ibn al-Hakim freed, he said to her:
He asked: Where is Allah ? She replied: In the heaven. He said: Who am I ? She replied: You are the Messenger of Allah. He said: Emancipate her, she is a believer.
أين الله؟ قالت: في السماء. قال: مَن أنا؟ قالت: أنت رسول الله. قال: أعتقها فإنها مؤمنةHow many gods do you worship? He said: Seven, six in the earth, and one in the heaven. He said: Whom do you worship for your hope and fear? He said: The One in the heaven. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) affirmed him
كم إلها تعبد؟ قال: سبعة، ستة في الأرض، وواحد في السماء. قال: مَن تعد لرغبتك ورهبتك؟ قال: الذي في السماء. فأقره النبي عليه الصلاة والسلامAnd what do you have? So ask for us?
The student : So our question.
