If
ever such statements come to your mind, or you hear people saying this: “Allaah
can’t do a thousand things”, or any other statements which harbors bad thoughts
about Allaah or attributes weakness to Him, then:
1)
Seek Allaah’s refuge from such thoughts or statements by saying:
أعوذ
بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
2)
Reaffirm your faith in Allaah and His Messengers by saying:
آمَنْتُ
بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ
3)
Distance yourself from such thoughts and avoid the company of such people who
say this.
Abu
Hurairah رضي الله عنه narrated that
the Messenger of Allaah صلى
الله عليه وسلم said:
❝The Shaitaan (Satan) comes to
every one of you and says: ‘Who created this and that?, till he questions: Who
created your Lord?’ When he comes to that, one should seek Allaah’s refuge and keep
away (from such idle thoughts).❞
[Saheeh
Muslim (252)]
Abu
Hurairah رضي الله عنه narrated that
the Messenger of Allaah صلى
الله عليه وسلم said:
❝People will continue to
question each other till this is propounded: ‘Allaah created all things but who
created Allaah?’ He who found himself confronted with such a situation should
say: “I affirm my faith in Allaah and His Messenger”.❞
[Saheeh
Muslim (250, 251)]
Abu
Hurairah reported رضي الله عنه: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said to me:
❝They (the people) till
constantly ask you, O Abu Hurairah, (about different things pertaining to
religion). They would say: ‘Well, there is Allaah, but after all who created
Allaah?’❞
He
(Abu Hurairah) narrated: Once we were in the Masjid that some of the Bedouins
came there and said: Well, there is Allaah, but who created Allaah? He said: I
took hold of the pebbles in my fist and flung at them and remarked: Stand up,
stand up (go away) my friend (the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) told the truth.
[Saheeh
Muslim (256)]
The Ghairah of Abu Hurairah for this Deen:
Shaikh
Ibn al-`Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:
❝In the Hadeeth of Abu Hurairah
where he threw pebbles at the Bedouins, there is evidence for his Ghairah
(protective jealousy) for Allaah عز وجل. It is obligatory upon a person that he
should not speak about matters such as these which would ruin or harm his
`Aqeedah.
But we ask: Was there a way better than what Abu Hurairah did?
We say: Yes! It would have been better if he had informed them
about the Hadeeth of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم that: “(they) should
seek Allaah’s refuge and keep away (from such idle thoughts).” But at that
instant of time, it was his Ghairah (protective jealousy for Allaah and His
Deen) that made him do that.❞
[Sharh
Saheeh Muslim]
