Question:
Sahih Muslim 2085i, meaning: He does not show him mercy?
Answer:
This interpretation is not correct. However, the intended meaning of "looking" here is looking,Sahih Muslim 2085i meaning: with anger toward him. Otherwise, He (Exalted and Majestic is He) sees everyone, Glorified is He; nothing is hidden from Him. But the expression is an indication of His anger (peace and blessings be upon him). It is not interpreted as mercy. However, this is part of the content of: "Allah does not look at them, He does not show them mercy, and He is not pleased with them; rather, He is angry with them for their ugly deeds." This is what the wording implies. Look at his commentary on the Book of Clothing.
