Explanation of the author's statement and his saying: (Allah has heard the argument of the woman who disputes with her husband and complains to Allah, and Allah hears your conversation. Indeed, Allah is Hearing, Seeing)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And His saying [Al-Mujadila 58:1] "Allah has heard," the word "qad" here is for realization. The one who was disputing is the woman who came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) complaining about her husband, as he had pronounced zihar against her by saying, "You are to me as the back of my mother." Zihar was a final divorce in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. She came complaining to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), or she complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and she made it clear to him how this man had divorced her with that final divorce, while she was the mother of his children. She was conversing with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), meaning she was exchanging words with him. Allah the Exalted and Majestic issued a ruling for her in the verses mentioned, and the evidence from these verses is His saying [Al-Mujadila 58:1]. In this is the affirmation of hearing for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and that He hears voices no matter how far they are or how faint they are. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "Blessed is He whose hearing encompasses all sounds. I was in the room, and some of her conversation was hidden from me." The hearing attributed to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), the scholars stated that it is divided into two categories:
Hearing that pertains to what is heard, in which case its meaning is perceiving the sound, perceiving the sound.
And hearing in the sense of responding, in which case its meaning is that Allah responds to whoever calls upon Him, whoever calls upon Him, because supplication is a sound, a sound that emanates from the supplicant. "Allah heard his supplication" means He responded to his supplication. It is not intended that His hearing is mere hearing only, because that has no benefit. The benefit is that Allah responds to the supplication.
The hearing that means perceiving the sound, the scholars said it is of three types:
The first is what is intended as a threat.
The second is what is intended as support.
The third is what is intended to demonstrate the all-encompassing knowledge of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
As for what is intended as a threat, it is like His saying:[Az-Zukhruf 43:80] and His saying: [Ali 'Imran 3:181]. As for support, it is like His saying to Musa and Harun: [Taha 20:46]. Allah the Exalted and Majestic intended to support Musa and Harun with this mention, meaning by mentioning that He hears and sees. As for what is intended to demonstrate all-encompassing knowledge, it is like this verse which we are in the process of explaining, indeed which we have explained. And what is it?
The student: "Allah has heard"
The Shaykh :[Al-Mujadila 58:1]
Certainly has Allah heard the speech of the one who argues with you, [O Muhammad], concerning her husband and directs her complaint to Allah
قد سمع الله قول التي تجادلك في زوجها وتشتكي إلى اللهCertainly has Allah heard the speech of the one who argues with you
قد سمع الله قول التي تجادلكHearing that pertains to what is heard, in which case its meaning is perceiving the sound, perceiving the sound.
And hearing in the sense of responding, in which case its meaning is that Allah responds to whoever calls upon Him, whoever calls upon Him, because supplication is a sound, a sound that emanates from the supplicant. "Allah heard his supplication" means He responded to his supplication. It is not intended that His hearing is mere hearing only, because that has no benefit. The benefit is that Allah responds to the supplication.
The hearing that means perceiving the sound, the scholars said it is of three types:
The first is what is intended as a threat.
The second is what is intended as support.
The third is what is intended to demonstrate the all-encompassing knowledge of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
As for what is intended as a threat, it is like His saying:
Or do they think that We hear not their secrets and their private conversations
أم يحسبون أنا لا نسمع سرهم ونجواهمAllah has certainly heard the statement of those [Jews] who said, "Indeed, Allah is poor, while we are rich."
لقد سمع الله قول الذين قالوا إن الله فقير ونحن أغنياءIndeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see.
إنني معكما أسمع وأرىThe student: "Allah has heard"
