The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: << فلما جآءه وقص عليه القصص . . . . . . . . . . . . . . >

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His statement:
So when he came to him and related to him the story, he said, "Fear not. You have escaped from the wrongdoing people." فلما جاءه وقص عليه القصص قال لا تخف نجوت من القوم الظالمين
[Al-Qasas 28:25]
It is derived from the verse: that narrating news is not considered complaining. If you narrate to a person the misfortunes that have befallen you, that is not considered complaining to him. For this reason, it is called "information." A sick person, for example, might say to someone asking about his condition: "It is information, not a complaint." The difference between the two is that complaining entails, meaning, seeking the removal of the thing and being annoyed by it; being annoyed by the thing and seeking its removal. As for news, it is devoid of that; it is merely information about an event that occurred.... What we know... His statement: And in it is also evidence
The student: ...

The Shaykh : ...... When a person describes his condition, saying such and such happened, there is no harm in attaching to.... It is to be considered: if he is oppressed, Allah says:
Allah does not like the public mention of evil except by one who has been wrongedلا يحب الله الجهر بالسوء من القول إلا من ظلم
[An-Nisa 4:148]
And the oppression of the oppressor cannot be repelled except by mentioning his oppression, and.... that.

The questioner : ....

The Shaykh : ... The point is that when a person informs about what happened to him, we speak of this, and it is not considered a complaint, even in matters that are disliked which happened to him; it is not considered a complaint. Therefore, he narrated the news.
And in it is also: evidence for the truthfulness of the man of Madyan, where he reassured him while mentioning the cause, saying:
Do not fear; you have been saved from the people who are oppressive. لا تخف نجوت من القوم الظالمين
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 65:348
, because his statement:
Do not fear لا تخف
provides reassurance to the man, and
You have been saved from the people who are oppressive نجوت من القوم الظالمين
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 65:348
the cause for that is: if he had said:
Do not fear لا تخف
and had not said:
You have been savedنجوت
, the one who thinks might think that he intended to make the matter seem easy for him, even though there is a possibility that he would not be saved. Therefore, he said:
You have been saved from the people who are oppressive نجوت من القوم الظالمين
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 65:348
This is an explanation of the ruling along with the cause.
And in it is evidence that the family of Pharaoh were known for oppression among the people at that time, because of his statement:
You have been saved from the people who are oppressive نجوت من القوم الظالمين
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 65:348
And in it is also evidence that the soldiers of the oppressor are oppressors, because he did not say: "I was saved from the oppressor," but he said: "from the people who are oppressive." And so it is, for the soldiers of the oppressor are oppressors. For this reason, if the prince or someone above the prince orders you to do something you know to be oppressive, then your obedience to him is forbidden, and that is from the category of obeying the created in disobedience to the Creator. If, for example, the prince or someone above him...
