The student: Some verses in which Allah, Mighty and Majestic, narrates about a person, such as His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Kahf 18:34] Should a person say: “Allah the Exalted said, narrating about a man,” or should he say: “Allah the Exalted said”?
The Shaykh : It is better to say “narrating,” because [saying only “said”] may imply that the pronoun refers to Allah.
I am greater than you in wealth and mightier in [numbers of] men."
أنا أكثر منك مالا وولداThe Shaykh : It is better to say “narrating,” because [saying only “said”] may imply that the pronoun refers to Allah.
