👉 In Du`aa al-Istikhaarah, when a person says that: “O Allaah! In Your knowledge, if this thing is harmful for me, my religion, or my Hereafter, then keep it away from me and keep me away from it… Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaymeen said: And when he says: فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ, then keep it away from me and keep me away from it, 🔊Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaymeen رحمه الله said: “فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي meaning: keep that thing away from me so that it does not become easy for me to do it. وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ meaning: keep me away from it so that I do not think about it, nor does my soul (or desire) try to chase it.” 📚[Sharh Saheeh al-Bukhaaree of Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaymeen (4/256)]
