Ma'ana: Ka zama abokin tafiya mai kusanci da lura, kuma mai taimako a gare mu. Irin wannan al-Walaayah ce.8

Meaning: Be a close, watchful companion and ally to us. This type of al-Walaayah8

(Abota ko waliyanci) nau'i biyu ne: nau'in waliyanci na gaba ɗaya, da nau'in na musamman. Nau'in na musamman ya keɓanta ga muminai kawai, kamar yadda Allah (SWT) ya ce:

(companionship or guardianship) is of two types, a general type of guardianship, and a specific type. The specific type is particular to the believers only as Allaah () says:

"Allah ne Majiɓinci, Mai kāre waɗanda suka yi imani. Yana fitar da su daga duhu zuwa haske. Haka kuma, waɗanda suka kafirta, majiɓintansu da masu kāre su ne gumaka na ƙarya. Suna fitar da su daga haske zuwa duhu. Waɗannan su ne abokan Wuta; za su dawwama a cikinta har abada." [Suratul Baqarah, 2:257] Saboda haka, kana roƙon Allah wannan irin nau'in majiɓinta, kāriya da abota ta musamman, wadda ta haɗa da kāriyarsa ga wanda Allah ya ba ta; haka kuma ta haɗa da Allah ya ba shi ko ita nasara wajen bin abin da Yake so kuma Yake yarda da shi.

“Allaah is the
Ally, Guardian of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into light. In addition, those who disbelieve, their allies, guardians, are their false gods. They take them out of light into darkness. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.” [Soorah al-Baqarah, 2:257] So you ask Allaah for this special type of alliance, guardianship, and companionship which includes His protection of the one to whom Allaah () gives it to. It also includes Allaah granting success to him or her in following what He loves and is pleased with.

Dangane da nau'in tsaro (kulawa) na gaba ɗaya, ya shafi kowa. Allah yana lura sosai da kowane mutum, kamar yadda Yake cewa: "…har idan mutuwa ta zo wa ɗayanku, Manzanninmu (mala'iku) suna karɓar ransa, kuma ba sa yin sakaci a aikinsu." [Suratul An'am, 6:61] Wannan yana nufin kowa gaba ɗaya. Sannan Yana cewa (SWT) a cikin aya ta gaba:

As for the general type of guardianship, it includes everyone. Allaah is carefully watching over every person as He says, “…until when death comes to one of you, Our Messengers (angels) take him, and they never fail in their duties.” [Soorah al-An’aam, 6:61] This is general for everyone. Then He () says in the next verse:

Sa'an nan a mayar da su zuwa ga Allah, Ubangijinsu na gaskiya. To, hukunci nasa ne kadai, kuma shi ne mafi saurin lissafi.” [Suratul An'am, 6:62] Duk da haka, idan muka ce, “Ya Allah, ka kula da ni a matsayin abokin tafiya tare da wadanda ka kula da su,” muna nufin takamaiman irin tarayya, kariya da zumunci, kuma kamar yadda aka fada, ya hada da kariya da nasara wajen bin abin da Allah yake so kuma yake yarda da shi.

“Then they are returned to Allaah, their true Lord. Unquestionably, the Judgment is His, and He is the swiftest in taking to account.” [Soorah al-An’aam, 6:62] However, when we say, “O Allaah, care for me as a companion with those You have cared for,” we want the specific type of alliance, guardianship, and companionship and, as has been said, it includes protection and the success in following what Allaah loves and is pleased with.
