Explanation of the author's statement and his saying: (Everything in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent)

The Shaykh : Then he said: "Yasbahu" means to purify, and tasbih means purification. The verb "sabbaha" can be transitive with itself or with the preposition "li" (for). As for its transitivity with itself, it is like the saying of Allah the Exalted: and what follows it is . As for its transitivity with "li," there are many instances; all the chapters of glorification (tasbih surahs) that begin with this are transitive with "li." The scholars said: If the mere action is intended, it is transitive with itself, so the meaning of "tasbahu" is that you say "Subhan Allah." If the intention and sincerity are intended, it is transitive with "li," meaning glorify with sincerity for Allah and as He deserves. So the "li" here clarifies the perfection of the doer's intention and the perfection of the worthiness of the one being glorified, who is Allah. Thus, it is more eloquent than saying "sabbaha Allaha" (he glorified Allah). And I think you now know the difference between when the action is intended, it is transitive with...
The student: with itself.

The Shaykh : With itself, you say "sabbaha Allaha" (he glorified Allah). And if the intention and sincerity are intended, it is transitive with "li," so you say "sabbahu li-Allahi" (I glorified for Allah). And from this is , meaning he purifies Him.
His saying: is general and includes everything. But tasbih is of two types: tasbih by the tongue of speech and tasbih by the tongue of state. As for tasbih by the tongue of state, it is general, . As for tasbih by speech, the disbeliever is excluded from it, for the disbeliever has not purified Allah. And for this reason, Allah the Exalted says: . They did not glorify Allah the Exalted because they associated partners with Him, and shirk (associating partners with Allah) contradicts tasbih, meaning it contradicts purification.
The summary: Is the tasbih of what is in the heavens and the earth general, or is some of it excluded? We say: As for the tongue of state, it is general. As for the tongue of speech, the disbeliever is excluded from it, for he has not glorified Allah. Yes, where he described Him with a defect and associated others with Him.
Now, how is the tongue of state? The tongue of state means that the state of everything in the heavens and the earth indicates the purification of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, from futility and from deficiency. Even the disbeliever, if you reflect on his state, you will find it indicates the purification of Allah the Exalted from deficiency and defect. Yes.
And he said: These last attributes are affirmative attributes, but "yasbahu li-Allahi" (glorifies for Allah) are negative attributes, because its meaning is purifying Him from what is not befitting Him. We have previously spoken about them.
