Question:
His saying:?
Answer:
It means: His guidance and success in this matter; because he said after it:Sahih al-Bukhari 6502, and in the other wording: It means: that he is granted success in his movements, in his stillness, in his senses, and in his limbs; because of his obedience to Allah, his faith in Him, and his mindfulness of Allah, he is granted success in his deeds and his actions. This is part of Allah's reward for him; that He grants him success for righteous deeds, and for hitting the truth in what he does and what he leaves.
