Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Is this gathering on the Day of Resurrection or not?
The Shaykh : No, Allah gathered them then, meaning at that time; from the moment they threw him into the sea, Allah gathered him and spoke to him.
The questioner : Shaykh, it contradicts faith; his belief contradicts faith, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : It does not contradict faith.
The questioner : He thought that Allah is not capable.
The Shaykh : No, no, he thought that this would save him from Allah. It may not have been in his mind at that moment—the doubt regarding capability—but he thought that this would save him from Allah. And he did not do this except out of fear of Allah. There is no doubt in his faith. Yes.
