The questioner : Your Eminence, may Allah reward you, it was mentioned in the Qudsi hadith: Sahih Muslim 2675e.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Is it interpreted as al-Nawawi interpreted it, as mercy, or does it remain on its apparent meaning?
The Shaykh : Did the Companions hear this hadith from the Messenger of Allah?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Did they say, “O Messenger of Allah, what is meant by hurrah?”
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : And are you walking behind the Companions or ahead of them?
The questioner : Behind the Companions.
The Shaykh : That is enough, be silent as they were silent.
The questioner : Likewise ... O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Everything regarding the attributes of Allah, follow in it the path the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) followed.
The questioner : O Shaykh, in the commentary of Riyadh al-Saliheen ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : In the commentary of Riyadh al-Saliheen by your Eminence.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : No comment was made on al-Nawawi’s statement that it is mercy; al-Nawawi commented, meaning al-Nawawi interpreted it as mercy, and no comment was made on it in the book.
The Shaykh : No mistake, this is a mistake, this is distortion, yes, interpreting it as mercy is distorting the word from its place. Is Allah (Mighty and Majestic) unable to say, “Whoever comes to me walking, I will come to him with mercy”? Is He unable? He is not unable. He said, “I will come to him hurrahing,” yes.
