Is it permissible to say, "Praise be to Allah, Who is not praised for any disliked thing other than it," without intending to oppose the divine decree?

The Shaykh : Yes, O 'Abd.

The questioner : Those who say: "Praise be to Allah, Who is not praised for any disliked thing other than it."

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : They say, "O Shaykh, we do not intend opposition, but rather we intend that the created beings are not praised for the disliked thing, but are punished."

The Shaykh : No, no, that is a mistake; this is a mistake. It is not to be said here. Rather, it is to be said as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . As for saying "for a disliked thing," you now know that you are averse to what happened, and there is a type of objection in it. Even though they say, "We do not intend [objection]," and, if Allah wills, the person is among those in whom there is good, but we say: adjust the phrase to what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Yes.
