Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Can the word "promise" in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Allah has promised the hypocrite men وعد الله المنافقين
[At-Tawbah 9:68]
be understood in its original sense, which is that it is for good, but this context is like the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Give the hypocrites the glad tidings بشر المنافقين
?

The Shaykh : No, no, no, this word "promise" is used for both good and evil.

The questioner : Regarding the recitation in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
It will not deter you ولا يجرمنكم
?

The Shaykh :
Will lead you astray يجرمنكم
In my mushaf, I did not find it; the one we have is restricted to the seventies.

The Shaykh : No, even the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), when the saying of Allah Blessed and Exalted is He:
O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him]. يا أيها الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله حق تقاته ولا تموتن إلا وأنتم مسلمون
[Ali 'Imran 3:102]
was revealed, they said, "We cannot do this," so they were commanded to say, "We hear and we obey," and then it was made easier for them.
