Glorifying and revering Allah is the foundation and essence of religion. Part of perfecting this is to safeguard His name from being uttered in trivial matters, as indicated by the narrations of Al-Khattabi and 'Awn ibn 'Abdillah. The one who says "Allah, not knuckles with stones" during problems and disputes is mistaken, because it contradicts the perfection of glorification of Allah, and because the statement is not absolutely correct. Indeed, Allah sent stones from the sky upon some tyrannical criminals, such as the people of Lot and the companions of the Elephant.
