Benefits of the Hadith: (… a charity that Allah has given you as a gift, so accept His gift).
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This hadith also establishes that Allah is a Giver of charity, as it says, "Allah has given you this as a gift." Similarly, it is mentioned in the hadith: Bulugh al-Maram 7:227 He has given you as a gift. It has become clear to us in many gatherings that the actions of Allah are not limited, and the attributes of action are not limited, for Allah the Exalted does what He wills, and everything in the heavens and the earth is from His action. Therefore, Allah the Exalted is described with everything He has created and everything He has legislated. However, description is a matter of reporting, and the scope of reporting is broader than the scope of legislative command. Naming Allah is only done with what He has named Himself with, whereas reporting includes everything that does not contradict His perfection. As for what contradicts His perfection, it is known that it is not permissible for anyone to describe Allah with it. If one were to say that Allah was ignorant and did not know such-and-such, then He knew it, or that He was unable to do it, then He was able to do it, or the like of that, this would be forbidden. Yes.
