Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith is not an explanation of the jealousy, the jealousy of Allah...
Answer:
It means: His jealousy is for him, meaning His disapproval of him and His hatred of his deed. His jealousy is a specific attribute that befits Allah and does not resemble the attributes of the created beings... His disapproval of His servant when he violates His prohibitions, His hatred of his deed, and His prohibition of it, and so is the hatred, and so is the disapproval and prohibition, all of which necessitate preventing people from these things.
Q: What did al-Nawawi add to this?
The Shaykh: Jealousy is a specific attribute.
Q: He explained it by saying in the hadith
The Shaykh: He means that jealousy is prevention, but this is not prevention... its implication is prevention. Jealousy is an attribute of Allah that befits Allah... meaning hatred and aversion, and close to this meaning is disapproval, not prevention.
