53.219 [Machine] What does he say when he is overwhelmed by a matter?

٥٣۔٢١٩ مَا يَقُولُ إِذَا غَلَبَهُ أَمْرٌ

nasai-kubra:10382Qutaybah b. Saʿīd And Sulaymān b. Manṣūr > Sufyān > Ibn ʿAjlān > al-Aʿraj > Abū Hurayrah

“The stronger believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, although both are good. Strive to seek that which will benefit you and do not feel helpless. If something overwhelms you, then say: Qaddarallah, wa ma sha'a fa’al (It is the decree of Allah and what He wills He does). And beware of (saying) ‘If only,’ for ‘If only’ opens the door to Satan.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4168)

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is good in both. Be diligent in pursuing what benefits you and do not be helpless. If something overwhelms you, say: 'Allah has decreed it and what He wills, He does.' Beware of negativity, for negativity opens the door to the devil's actions." Muhammad ibn Hatim informed us, he said: Habban informed us, he said: Abdullah informed us, on the authority of Ibn Ajlan, on the authority of Rabi'ah, on the authority of Al-A'raj, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: [he mentioned the hadith similar to the above, and Abdullah said: I heard it from Rabi'ah and preserved it from Muhammad].

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, although both are good. Strive for that which will benefit you, seek the help of Allah, and do not feel helpless. If anything befalls you, do not say, "if only I had done such and such" rather say "Qaddara Allahu wa ma sha'a fa'ala (Allah has decreed and whatever he wills, He does)." For (saying) 'If' opens (the door) to the deeds of Satan.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 79)

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ settled a dispute between two men, and the one who had been ruled against said, "Allah is sufficient for me, and He is the best Disposer of affairs." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Return the man's statement to me." The man asked, "What did you say?" He replied, "I said, 'Allah is sufficient for me, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.'" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah disapproves of helplessness, but you should rely on being prudent. And when you are faced with a difficult situation, say, 'Allah is sufficient for me, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.'" Abu Abdullah Saif said, "I do not know who narrated this."
