Explanation of the author's statement: "He looks at you, despondent and despairing" (Mentioning the completion of the hadith)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says: The point of the evidence is his statement and the looking is with the eye. This is a part of a hadith in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He said: "He looks at you, despondent, meaning in a state of severe distress, and despairing, meaning hopeless of its relief. He continues to laugh, knowing that your relief is near. For whoever knows Allah (Mighty and Majestic) does not despair or lose hope in His mercy (Blessed and Exalted is He), as Ibrahim said: [Al-Hijr 15:56] The lost ones are those who do not know the status of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Otherwise, whoever knows the status of Allah cannot possibly despair.
