The Meaning of the Hadith "And if He asks me, I will surely give him..."

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith (
And if He asks me, I will surely give himولئِن سألَني لأعطينَّهُ
) is used by the Sufis as evidence that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) dwells in them because He becomes their hearing and their sight?

Answer:
This is due to their ignorance; his guidance means that he is granted success, and this is why the other wording says:
and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks My protection (Refuge), I will protect himولئِن سألَني لأعطينَّهُ ولئنِ استعاذني لأعيذنَّهُ
Sahih al-Bukhari 6502
meaning: by My guidance and direction; this explains it.
By Me he hears, by Me he sees, by Me he strikes, and by Me he walksفبي يسمَعُ وبي يُبصِرُ وبي يبطِشُ وبي يمشي

And it is known: his hearing is established in him, his sight is established in him, and his hand is established in him, but the intended meaning is guidance and success, this is a known matter among the Arabs and an extension of the Arabs' usage, and for this reason, it came in the other narration: (
By Me he hearsفبي يسمع
) as an explanation for it, but the Sufis are ignorant and misguided, they do not understand, we ask Allah for safety.
Q: Are the Sufis in a state of disbelief?
A: They differ according to their beliefs, so whoever believes that the shaykh is worshipped alongside Allah; he has committed disbelief.
