The Eleventh Example: Allah’s saying in the Qudsi Hadith

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says: “The eleventh example: Allah’s saying in the Qudsi Hadith:
and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him, so I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks My protection (Refuge), I will protect him وما يزال عبدي يتقرب إلي بالنوافل حتى أحبه فإذا أحببته كنت سمعه الذي يسمع به وبصره الذي يبصر به ويده التي يبطش بها ورجله التي يمشي بها ولئن سألني لأعطينه ولئن استعاذني لأعيذنه
Sahih al-Bukhari 6502
”

The hadith is to be understood according to its apparent meaning; it has not been interpreted by other than its apparent meaning or subjected to figurative interpretation (ta'wil).
I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved things with which My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I have enjoined upon him من عاد لي وليا فقد آذنته بالحرب وما تقرب إلى عبدي بشيء أحب إلي مما افترضته عليه
Sahih al-Bukhari 6502
