Continuation of the explanation of the author's statement: And his saying (… … … … … … What Allah willed, there is no power except in Allah

The Shaykh : to diminish their status, and the first approach is more eloquent, meaning it is closer to the rules of the Arabic language. What is its grammatical position? The answer is [Al-Kahf 18:39] [Al-Kahf 18:39] It is possible that it is a relative pronoun, and it is possible that it is a conditional particle. If you make it a relative pronoun, it is the predicate of a deleted subject, and the implied meaning is "This is what Allah willed," meaning this is not by my will, my power, and my strength, but it is by the will of Allah, meaning this is what Allah willed. And if you make it a conditional particle, the verb of the condition is and the answer to the condition is deleted, as you all know. What is the implied meaning? "What Allah willed came to be." We all say "What Allah willed came to be, and what He did not will did not come to be." It means you should have said when you entered your garden, "What Allah willed came to be," to disavow your own power and strength and not be proud of your garden.
And his saying:[Al-Kahf 18:39] "La" is a negator of the genus. "Quwwah" (power) is an indefinite noun in the context of negation, and power is an attribute by which the actor is able to do what he wants without weakness.
Regarding the saying:[Al-Kahf 18:39] The answer is: No, because the created things have power. [Ar-Rum 30:54] [Fussilat 41:15] Allah the Exalted said: [Fussilat 41:15] and He did not say "There is no power in them," so He affirmed power for humans. Based on this, we need to answer our statement that "quwwah" is an indefinite noun in the context of negation, so it is general.
And the answer is: We say, yes, it is general. Even the power that is in the created things, by what? It is by Allah (Mighty and Majestic). "There is no power except in Allah" means that no one has power except Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and the power that is with humans is created by Allah (Mighty and Majestic). So in reality, there is no power except by Allah. You are not able to do any deed except by Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Accordingly, the verse is apparent in its generality. And if you want to distinguish the power of the created from the power of the Creator, then the intended meaning of His saying is "There is no complete power except in Allah (Mighty and Majestic)." Based on this, if you make the intended meaning of "There is no power except in Allah" to be the power of Allah, which is His attribute, then the "ba" means "in" if we make the power here the power of Allah. But if we make the power the power of the created, which is from Allah, then the "ba" here is for causality, meaning "There is no power in the created except by the cause of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)."
Well, in any case, you have done well. In any case, this righteous, pious man guided his companion to disavow his own power and strength and to say that this is by the will of Allah and by the power of Allah, and that he has no power over anything, and that you have no power over anything except by Allah (Mighty and Majestic). And Allah knows best.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
We have previously spoken about hearing and sight with its categories, and there is no need to repeat the discussion because the discussion was completed in it. His saying:[Al-Kahf 18:39] We said that in this is the affirmation of the will for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The will of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is His cosmic will, and it is effective in what He loves and what He does not love, and it is effective over all servants without distinction. It is necessary for what He willed to exist in every case. So it is effective. What is this sound? When it is struck, it stops. Well, the will is the cosmic will, so whatever Allah the Exalted willed occurred, necessarily, whether it is in what He loves and is pleased with or not.
You said
قُلْتَWhy not
لولاwhy did you, when you entered your garden, not say, 'What Allah willed
لَوْلَا إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُsay, 'What Allah willed [has occurred]; there is no power except in Allah '
قلت مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِwilled
شَاءَAnd his saying:
there is no power except in Allah
لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاّ بِاللَّهِRegarding the saying:
there is no power except in Allah
لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاّ بِاللَّهِAllah is the one who created you from weakness, then made after weakness strength
اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ ضَعْفٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْ بَعْدِ ضَعْفٍ قُوَّةًand said, "Who is greater than us in strength?"
وَقَالُوا مَنْ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةًDid they not consider that Allah who created them was greater than them in strength?
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةًAnd the answer is: We say, yes, it is general. Even the power that is in the created things, by what? It is by Allah (Mighty and Majestic). "There is no power except in Allah" means that no one has power except Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and the power that is with humans is created by Allah (Mighty and Majestic). So in reality, there is no power except by Allah. You are not able to do any deed except by Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Accordingly, the verse is apparent in its generality. And if you want to distinguish the power of the created from the power of the Creator, then the intended meaning of His saying
no power
لا قوةWell, in any case, you have done well. In any case, this righteous, pious man guided his companion to disavow his own power and strength and to say that this is by the will of Allah and by the power of Allah, and that he has no power over anything, and that you have no power over anything except by Allah (Mighty and Majestic).

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
