The answer to the first question is . If I hit him with the will of Allah then why he is suing me ?
The question is not under discussion here the answer is . Please read my comments above.
The answer is brilliant in the way that if you believe all things happen by the will of God then why should the scholar be punished.
Its not like he wanted to show that he did not believe in all things happen with the will of God. The point is that this man questioned this statement and scholar used same analogy to make this man understand that the statement is not universal.
Human being are still responsile of bad acts and be treated accordingly...
The man questiong this statement was placed in difficult position and was made to think a bit more on this statement.
The quick respone by the scholar also needs attention here...if you go by the story.
