Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: ((Except that you do kindness to your awliya (close friends of Allah); that is recorded in the Book))

The estimation is but, because the exception here is disjoint. And when the exception is disjoint, it is estimated as but. The disjunction, just as it occurs in entities, also occurs in meanings, as the grammarians say: "The people came except a donkey" This is a disjoint exception in terms of entities; the people means their selves except a donkey. And like this verse, [Al-Ahzab 33:6] is a disjoint exception in terms of meanings. The disjoint exception occurs in meanings and also in entities. [Al-Asr 1:2:3] This is connected because those who believe are from among the people, but [Al-Ahzab 33:6] this does not fall under His saying: For this reason He said: [Al-Ahzab 33:6] by a bequest, so it is permissible. is the plural of wali (close friend of Allah), and the meaning of wali (close friend of Allah) here is one with whom you have loyalty and support, like what happened between the Muhajireen and the Ansar at the beginning of the migration. So if there is a favor between you and him that you do good to him, then this is permissible. The author said: "by a bequest" Why did he specify the good deed with a bequest? Because the discussion is about inheritance, and inheritance does not occur except after death. Likewise, a bequest does not occur except after death. Allah the Exalted said: "That is, the abrogation of inheritance by faith and migration with the inheritance of those with blood ties. [Al-Ahzab:6] And I mean by in both places the Preserved Tablet." The reference is to the fact that [Al-Ahzab 33:6] that is, in the Preserved Tablet, according to the author's statement. This is apparent in the latter case because "kana" indicates the future, or is it the past? It is the past. And this indicates that what is in the Preserved Book is that inheritance is for those with blood ties, but it was by loyalty for a short period. When the Muhajireen first arrived in Madinah, they made a covenant of brotherhood among themselves by which inheritance was established. But this is not what Allah the Exalted wrote as a permanent state for His servants; rather, that happened why? Due to a circumstance, which was the establishment of complete brotherhood between the Muhajireen and the Ansar. Otherwise, the established ruling is what is in the Preserved Book, that inheritance is only by kinship. And His saying: [Al-Isra 17:58] This is... a report of how is, and before it came a preposition and its object.

The Shaykh : Okay, where is the subject of "kana"?
The student: That.
The Shaykh : Correct. This is not hidden from you; I taught you, meaning from the chapter of "dhan" (opinion), so anyone who understands it.
