[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ entered upon her and she said, "This is so-and-so, she remembers from her prayers." He said, "What? Indeed, Allah does not become weary until you become weary, and He loves the religion that is consistent upon it." And Shaykh Abu Bakr Al-Isma'ili said, "His saying, may ﷺ : 'Indeed, Allah does not become weary until you become weary,' some of them said, 'He does not become weary of rewarding until you become weary of actions.' And Allah, exalted be He, is not described with weariness, but rather the speech is brought out to match the wording. And that is common in the speech of the Arabs. And based on that, the saying of Allah, "And the retribution for an evil act is an evil one like it" [Surah Ash-Shura 40] applies to the first evil act which is a sin in regards to the wording of the evil act, and retribution is fair, not an evil act. And likewise His saying, exalted be He, "So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you." [Surah Al-Baqarah 194] And the retribution is not oppression nor aggression. So it is brought out in wording to match the assault, but the meaning is not aggression. Similarly, His saying, "Indeed, Allah does not become weary until you become weary," is brought out to match the wording until you become weary, and the meaning is that the reward for their actions will not be cut off as long as they do not become weary and abandon them. And Allah knows best.
