    Chapter: The Prophet (saws) inviting his followers to Tauhid of Allah

    حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ “‏ لاَ يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي إِنْ شِئْتَ، ارْحَمْنِي إِنْ شِئْتَ، ارْزُقْنِي إِنْ شِئْتَ، وَلْيَعْزِمْ مَسْأَلَتَهُ، إِنَّهُ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ، لاَ مُكْرِهَ لَهُ ‏” ‏‏.‏

    Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “None of you should say: ‘O Allah! Forgive me if You wish,’ or ‘Bestow Your
    Mercy on me if You wish,’ or ‘Provide me with means of subsistence if You wish,’ but he should be
    firm in his request, for Allah does what He will and nobody can force Him (to do anything).

    حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَفْصٍ، عَمْرٌو حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّهُ تَمَارَى هُوَ وَالْحُرُّ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ حِصْنٍ الْفَزَارِيُّ فِي صَاحِبِ مُوسَى أَهُوَ خَضِرٌ، فَمَرَّ بِهِمَا أُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، فَدَعَاهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ إِنِّي تَمَارَيْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبِي هَذَا فِي صَاحِبِ مُوسَى الَّذِي سَأَلَ السَّبِيلَ إِلَى لُقِيِّهِ، هَلْ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَذْكُرُ شَأْنَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ “‏ بَيْنَا مُوسَى فِي مَلإِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا أَعْلَمَ مِنْكَ فَقَالَ مُوسَى لاَ‏.‏ فَأُوحِيَ إِلَى مُوسَى بَلَى عَبْدُنَا خَضِرٌ‏.‏ فَسَأَلَ مُوسَى السَّبِيلَ إِلَى لُقِيِّهِ، فَجَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ الْحُوتَ آيَةً وَقِيلَ لَهُ إِذَا فَقَدْتَ الْحُوتَ فَارْجِعْ فَإِنَّكَ سَتَلْقَاهُ‏.‏ فَكَانَ مُوسَى يَتْبَعُ أَثَرَ الْحُوتِ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَقَالَ فَتَى مُوسَى لِمُوسَى أَرَأَيْتَ إِذْ أَوَيْنَا إِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ فَإِنِّي نَسِيتُ الْحُوتَ وَمَا أَنْسَانِيهِ إِلاَّ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ أَذْكُرَهُ، قَالَ مُوسَى ذَلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِي، فَارْتَدَّا عَلَى آثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا فَوَجَدَا خَضِرًا، وَكَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِهِمَا مَا قَصَّ اللَّهُ ‏” ‏‏.‏

    Narrated Ibn `Abbas: That he differed with Al-Hurr bin Qais bin Hisn Al-Fazari about the companion of Moses, (i.e.,
    whether he was Kha,dir or not). Ubai bin Ka`b Al-Ansari passed by them and Ibn `Abbas called him
    saying, ‘My friend (Hur) and I have differed about Moses’ Companion whom Moses asked the way to
    meet. Did you hear Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) mentioning anything about him?” Ubai said, “Yes, I heard Allah’s
    Apostle saying, “While Moses was sitting in the company of some Israelites a man came to him and
    asked, ‘Do you know Someone who is more learned than you (Moses)?’ Moses said, ‘No.’ So Allah
    sent the Divine inspiration to Moses:–
    ‘Yes, Our Slave Khadir is more learned than you’ Moses asked Allah how to meet him ( Khadir) So
    Allah made the fish as a sign for him and it was said to him, ‘When you lose the fish, go back (to the
    place where you lose it) and you will meet him.’ So Moses went on looking for the sign of the fish in
    the sea. The boy servant of Moses (who was accompanying him) said to him, ‘Do you remember
    (what happened) when we betook ourselves to the rock? I did indeed forget to tell you (about) the fish.
    None but Satan made me forget to tell you about it’ (18.63) Moses said:
    ‘That is what we have been seeking.” Sa they went back retracing their footsteps. (18.64). So they both
    found Kadir (there) and then happened what Allah mentioned about them (in the Qur’an)!’ (See 18.60-
    82)

    Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: The Prophet (ﷺ) besieged the people of Ta’if, but he did not conquer it. He said, “Tomorrow, if Allah will,
    we will return home. On this the Muslims said, “Then we return without conquering it?” He said,
    ‘Then carry on fighting tomorrow.” The next day many of them were injured. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If
    Allah will, we will return home tomorrow.” It seemed that statement pleased them whereupon Allah’s
    Apostle smiled.

    Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When Allah ordains something on the Heaven the angels beat with their wings in
    obedience to His Statement which sounds like that of a chain dragged over a rock. His Statement:
    “Until when the fear is banished from their hearts, the Angels say, ‘What was it that your Lord said?’
    ‘They reply, ‘(He has said) the Truth. And He is the Most High, The Great. ” (34.23)

    Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The example of a believer is that of a fresh green plant the leaves of which
    move in whatever direction the wind forces them to move and when the wind becomes still, it stand
    straight. Such is the similitude of the believer: He is disturbed by calamities (but is like the fresh plant
    he regains his normal state soon). And the example of a disbeliever is that of a pine tree (which
    remains) hard and straight till Allah cuts it down when He will.” (See Hadith No. 546 and 547, Vol.
    7).

    Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Once I stayed overnight at the house of (my aunt ) Maimuna while the Prophet (ﷺ) was with her, to see
    how was the night prayer of Allah s Apostle Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) talked to his wife for a while and then
    slept. When it was the last third of the night (or part of it), the Prophet (ﷺ) got up and looked towards the
    sky and recited the Verse:– ‘Verily! In the creation of the Heavens and the Earth….there are indeed
    signs for the men of understanding.’ (3.190)
    Then He got up and performed the ablution, brushed his teeth and offered eleven rak`at. Then Bilal
    pronounced the Adhan whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) offered a two-rak`at (Sunna) prayer and went out to
    lead the people in Fajr (morning compulsory congregational prayer.
