Is there an indication in the saying of Allah the Exalted: “If he dies or is killed, will you turn back on your heels?” that he will die killed?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, is there an indication... is there a connection between the saying of Allah the Exalted: in Surat al-Imran.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ... a connection regarding the killing of the Jews, may the curse of Allah be upon them... that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has a connection to this verse due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Ali 'Imran 3:144]?
The Shaykh : No, I do not think so. I think that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is saying that if he (peace and blessings be upon him) perishes by death or is killed, you will turn back on your heels. This variation is the cause of your losing him.
If he dies
أفإن ماتThe Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ... a connection regarding the killing of the Jews, may the curse of Allah be upon them... that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has a connection to this verse due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:
So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels
أفإن مات أو قتل انقلبتم على أعقابكمThe Shaykh : No, I do not think so. I think that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is saying that if he (peace and blessings be upon him) perishes by death or is killed, you will turn back on your heels. This variation is the cause of your losing him.
