Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (And they did not resent them except because they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy).

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :
(8) And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy, (9) To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth وما نقموا منهم إلا أن يؤمنوا بالله العزيز الحميد الذي له ملك السماوات والأرض
[Al-Buruj 85:8-9]
.
to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth الذي له ملك السماوات والأرض
[Al-A'raf 7:158]
.
The predicate is placed before the subject to convey that the One who is unique in sovereignty and management is Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and that those who have surrounded themselves with a barrier of arrogance are the most humble on the Day of Resurrection.
except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy, إلا بالله العزيز الحميد
[Al-Buruj 85:8]

Al-Aziz means the One possessing might. Might is dominance, so there is no might for anyone after the might of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), meaning that the principle is that might belongs to Allah alone, as He (Blessed and Exalted is He) said regarding the hypocrites:
They say, "If we return to al-Madinah, the more honored [for power] will surely expel therefrom the more humble." And to Allah belongs [all] honor, and to His Messenger, and to the believers, but the hypocrites do not know. يَقُولُونَ لَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
[Al-Munafiqun 63:8]
.
Reflect, my brother, reflect on the gentleness of Allah, the forbearance of Allah, and the mercy of Allah, where He hinted to these people about repentance, saying:
Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell إن الذين فتنوا المؤمنين والمؤمنات ثم لم يتوبوا فلهم عذاب جهنم
[Al-Buruj 85:10]

It is derived from this noble verse that if they had repented to Allah, this punishment would not have been upon them. This indicates the forgiveness, forbearance, and generosity of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
I ask Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) to protect us from arrogance, haughtiness, misguidance, and leading others astray, and to grant us from Him mercy, for He is the Bestower. Now we will speak about the lesson on hadith, yes.
