Zujajat al-Masabih 4659Volume 4

English

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “When 1 a transgressor is praised, the Lord, Exalted is He, becomes angry, and the Throne trembles because of it.”

[Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in Shu’ab Al-Iman]

Note 1

When a transgressor is praised…

(1) His statement: “When a transgressor is praised…”: This is a grave affliction, like many scholars, poets, and ostentatious reciters in our time. If this is the ruling for praising a transgressor, what of those who praise oppressors and incline toward them? Allah, Exalted is He, said: And do not incline toward those who do wrong, lest the Fire touch you [Hud: 113]. In Al-Kashshaf, it is said: The prohibition includes following their desires, associating with them, keeping their company, visiting them, flattering them, approving their actions, imitating them, adopting their appearance, or extolling them in a way that glorifies them. [As stated in Al-Mirqat]

قوله

(۱) قوله : إذا مدح الفاسق إلخ : هذا هو الداء العضال كأكثر العلماء والشعراء والقراء المرائين في زماننا هذا، وإذا كان هذا حكم من مدح الفاسق، فكيف بمن مدح الظالم وركن إليه ركونًا، وقد قال تعالى: ﴿وَلَا تَرْكَنُوا إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ (هود: (۱۱۳). وفي الكشاف النهي متناول للانحطاط في هواهم والانقطاع إليه ومصاحبتهم ومجالستهم وزيارتهم ومداهنتهم والرضا بأعمالهم والتشبه بهم والتزيي بزيهم ومد العين إلى زمرتهم وذكرهم بما فيه تعظيم لهم. كذا في «المرقاة».
