عن ابن عبَّاسٍ رضي الله عنهما قال: كنتُ خَلْفَ رسولِ الله ﷺ يومًا، فقال: «يا غلامُ، إنِّي أُعلِّمُكَ كلماتٍ: احْفَظِ اللهَ يَحْفَظْكَ،احفَظِ اللهَ تَجِدْه تُجاهَكَ،إذا سألْتَ فاسأَلِ اللهَ، وإذا استَعَنْتَ فاستَعِنْ باللهِ، واعلَمْ أنَّ الأُمَّةَ لوِ اجتَمَعَتْ على أنْ يَنفَعوكَ بشيءٍ، لم يَنفَعوكَ إلَّا بشيءٍ قد كتَبَه اللهُ لكَ، ولوِ اجْتَمَعوا على أنْ يَضُرُّوكَ بشيءٍ، لم يَضُرُّوكَ إلَّا بشيءٍ قد كتَبَه اللهُ عليكَ، رُفِعَتِ الأقلامُ وجَفَّتِ الصُّحُفُ»
Ibn ‘Abbās narrated:
One day I was riding behind God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) when he said to me: 1. Young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice]: 2. Be mindful of God, 3. and God will protect you. 4. Be mindful of God and you will find Him in front of you. 5. If you ask, ask of God; 6. If you seek help, seek God’s help. 7. Know that if the entire community collaborates to benefit you with anything, they shall benefit you only with something God has already willed for you; and if they collaborate to harm you with anything, they shall harm you only with something God has already willed for you. 8. All pens have been lifted and all scrolls have dried.
You alone do we worship and to You alone do we turn for help.
(1: 5)
Fulfil your covenant with Me and I will fulfil Mine with you.
(2: 40)
Should God afflict you with any hardship, none other than He can remove it; and if He wills any good for you, none can withhold His bounty.
(10: 107)
Thus We averted from him [i.e. Joseph] evil and indecency. He was truly one of Our faithful servants.
(12: 24)
Your Lord says: ‘Call on Me, and I shall answer you’.
(40: 60)
No incident can take place, either on earth or in yourselves, unless it be recorded in a decree before We bring it into being – that is easy for God.
(57: 22")
