Ibn Manzur in Lisān al-‘Arab wrote:
"I do not think that anyone in existence imagines that they are ever independent of Allah, the Blessed and Exalted. Rather, I believe that Pharaoh, Nimrod, and others who claimed divinity were merely pretending, while in their innermost being..
"I do not think that anyone in existence imagines that they are ever independent of Allah, the Blessed and Exalted. Rather, I believe that Pharaoh, Nimrod, and others who claimed divinity were merely pretending, while in their innermost being..
they acknowledged their own poverty and need for their Creator, who created and managed them during their youth and childhood, while they were in their mother's womb before they could recognize their wealth or poverty...
Especially when they need food or drink, or are compelled to expel them, or when they feel pain from the slightest thing, such as the death of a loved one, or even the death of a part of their body; or from lack of sleep, overwhelming drowsiness, or a throat irritation, which
is trivial compared to what befalls creatures. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the worlds"
وما أظنُّ أن أحدًا في الوجود يَتخيَّل أن له غِنًى عن الله تبارك وتعالى قَطّ؛ بل أعتقد أن فرعون والنمروذ وغيرهما ممن ادَّعى الألوهية إنما هو يَتظاهر بذلك، وهو يتحقَّق في باطنه فَقره واحتياجَه إلى خالقه الذي خلَقه ودبَّره في حال صِغر سِنِّه وطُفولِيَّته، وحملِه في بطن أمه قبل
أن يُدرك غِناه أو فقرَه، ولا سيما إذا احتاج إلى طعامٍ أو شرابٍ أو اضطُّرّ إلى إخراجهما، أو تألَّم لأيسرِ شيءٍ يُصيبه من موتِ محبوبٍ له، بل من موتِ عضوٍ من أعضائه؛ بل من عدمِ نومٍ أو غلبةِ نُعاسٍ أو غُصَّة رِيقٍ أو عَضَّةِ بَقٍّ مما يطرأ أضعافُ ذلك على المخلوقين
، فتبارك الله رب العالمين.
