Reminding Others of Past Favors
The shaikh, Dr. Muḥammad ibn Ghālib Al-ʿUmarī, may Allāh protect him, said:
Reminding others of good things done for them in the past is for Allāh [to do], far is He above all imperfection. He is the One who gives every good thing to [His] slaves, Al-Wahhāb [the Ever-Plentifully Giving], Al-Muʿṭī [the Sole Bestower of All Things].
As for some slaves of [His] reminding others of good things they’ve done for them in the past, it’s a blameworthy characteristic, like [when] a man reminds his wife, a wife her husband, or a friend his friend, of good things they’ve done for them in the past.
And more repulsive than that is a son reminding his parents [of such].
المنّ لله سبحانه
فهو المتفضل على العباد، الوهاب، المعطي.
أما أن يمنّ بعض العباد على بعض، فهي صفة ذميمة
كأن يمنّ الرجل على زوجته، أو الزوجة على زوجها.
والصديق على صديقه.
ومن أقبح ذلك أن يمنّ الإبن على والديه.— د.محمد بن غالب العُمري (@m_g_alomari) January 29, 2021
