148 - Similtude of Mankind to Animals is only in Way of Dispraise - Sheikh Ibn 'Uthaymīn لم يذكر الله تشبيه بني آدم بالحيوان إلا في مقام الذم, إلا في مقام الذم. Allah has not mentioned the similitude of mankind to animals except in way of dispraise, except in away of dispraise. استمع إلى قول الله تعالى: (وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ الَّذِي آتَيْنَاهُ آيَاتِنَا فَانْسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَأَتْبَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنَاهُ بِهَا وَلَكِنَّهُ أَخْلَدَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ إِنْ تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ أَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَثْ) [الأعراف: ١٧٥-١٧٦]، Listen to the Statement of Allah (in the meaning of which): "And recite (O Muhammad ﷺ) to them the story of him to whom We gave Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), but he threw them away, so Shaitan followed him up, and he became of those who went astray. And had We willed, We would surely have elevated him therewith but he clung to the earth and followed his own vain desire. So his description is the description of a dog: if you drive him away, he lolls his tongue out, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls his tongue out." [Al-A'raf: 175, 176] وقال تعالى: (مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ حُمِّلُوا التَّوْرَاةَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَحْمِلُوهَا كَمَثَلِ الْحِمَارِ يَحْمِلُ أَسْفَاراً بِئْسَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآياتِ اللَّهِ) (الجمعة:٥)، And Allah the Exalted said: The likeness of those who were entrusted with the (obligation of the) Taurat (i.e. to obey its commandments and to practise its legal laws), but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is as the likeness of a donkey who carries huge burdens of books (but understands nothing from them). How bad is the example (or the likeness) of people who deny the Ayat of Allah." [Al-Jumu'ah:5] وقال النبي ﷺ: ((العائد في هبته كالكلب يقيء ثم يعود في قيئه))، The Prophet ﷺ said: "The one who takes back the gift he gave is like the dog that vomits then takes it back." وقال ﷺ: ((الذي يتكلم يوم الجمعة والإمام يخطب كمثل الحمار يحمل أسفارا)) . And he ﷺ said: "The one who speaks while the Imam is giving khutbah on Friday is like the donkey that carries huge burdens of books (but understands nothing from them)." فأنت ترى أن تشبيه بني آدم بالحيوان لم يكن إلا في مقام الذم، So, you see that the similitude of mankind to animals is only in way of dispraise.
