I was following ˹behind˺ the Prophet ﷺ then he said to me, "Young boy" or "Little boy, should I not teach you words that Allah will benefit you with?" I said: Of course. So he said, "(1) Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you, (2) be mindful of Allah and you will find Him in front of you, (3) get to know him in times of ease, and he will know you (be with you) at times of difficulty, (4) if you ask, then ask Allah, (5) and if you seek help, then seek help from Allah."
"(6) The pen of ˹Divine Decree˺ has dried for what is to be. Thus if all creation put together intends to benefit you for a thing that has not been decreed for you by Allah they will not be able to so, and if they intend to harm you for a thing that has not been decreed for you by Allah, they will not be able to so. And (7) know that showing patience over what you dislike has much good in it, and that help goes along with patience, relief goes along with grief, and that there is ease along with difficulty."

كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: «يَا غُلامُ» أَوْ «يَا غُلَيِّمُ، أَلا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ يَنْفَعُكَ اللهُ بِهِنَّ؟ فَقُلْتُ: بَلَى۔ فَقَالَ: (١) احْفَظِ اللهَ يَحْفَظْكَ، (٢) احْفَظِ اللهَ تَجِدْهُ أَمَامَكَ، (٣) تَعَرَّفْ إِلَيْهِ فِي الرَّخَاءِ يَعْرِفْكَ فِي الشِّدَّةِ، (٤) وَإِذَا سَأَلْتَ فَاسْأَلِ اللهَ، (٥) وَإِذَا اسْتَعَنْتَ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللهِ۔»

«(٦) قَدْ جَفَّ الْقَلَمُ بِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ۔ فَلَوْ أَنَّ الْخَلْقَ كُلَّهُمْ جَمِيعًا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَنْفَعُوكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَكْتُبْهُ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا عَلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَضُرُّوكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَكْتُبْهُ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا عَلَيْهِ۔ (٧) وَاعْلَمْ أنَّ فِي الصَّبْرِ عَلَى مَا تَكْرَهُ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا، وَأَنَّ النَّصْرَ مَعَ الصَّبْرِ، وَأَنَّ الْفَرَجَ مَعَ الْكَرْبِ، وَأَنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا۔»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was gifted a mare by the king of Persia, which he rode using a hair rope. He then put me behind him and rode with me on the back of the mare, traveling slowly. He turned to me and said, "O young boy." I replied, "Here I am, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Guard Allah, and He will guard you. Guard Allah and you will find Him in front of you. Recognize Allah in times of ease, and He will recognize you in times of difficulty. When you ask, ask Allah. And when you seek help, seek help from Allah. The pens have been lifted and the ink has dried. If the whole world gathered to benefit you with something that Allah has not decreed for you, they would not be able to do so. And if they gathered to harm you with something that Allah has not decreed for you, they would not be able to do so. If you are able to be patient in times of distress, then do so. For indeed, with patience there is relief. And know that with difficulty comes ease."

أُهْدِيَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَغْلَةً أَهْدَاهَا لَهُ كِسْرَى فَرَكِبَهَا بِحَبْلٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ ثُمَّ أَرْدَفَنِي خَلْفَهُ ثُمَّ سَارَ بِي مَلِيًّا ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ فَقَالَ «يَا غُلَامُ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «احْفَظِ اللَّهَ يَحْفَظْكَ احْفَظِ اللَّهَ تَجِدْهُ أَمَامَكَ تَعَرَّفْ إِلَى اللَّهِ فِي الرَّخَاءِ يَعْرِفْكَ فِي الشِّدَّةِ وَإِذَا سَأَلْتَ فَاسْأَلِ اللَّهَ وَإِذَا اسْتَعَنْتَ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ قَدْ مَضَى الْقَلَمُ بِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ فَلَوْ جَهَدَ النَّاسُ أَنْ يَنْفَعُوكَ بِمَا لَمْ يَقْضِهِ اللَّهُ لَكَ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا عَلَيْهِ وَلَوْ جَهَدَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَضُرُّوكَ بِمَا لَمْ يَكْتُبْهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا عَلَيْهِ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ بِالصَّبِرِ مَعَ الْيَقِينِ فَافْعَلْ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَاصْبِرْ فَإِنَّ فِي الصَّبْرِ عَلَى مَا تَكْرَهُهُ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ مَعَ الصَّبْرِ النَّصْرَ وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ مَعَ الْكَرْبِ الْفَرَجِ وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ الْيَسَرَ»

[Machine] "To me, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Preserve Allah, He will preserve you. Preserve Allah, you will find Him in front of you. Know Allah in times of ease, He will know you in times of hardship. And know that what has befallen you was not meant to miss you, and what has missed you was not meant to befall you. And know that if all the creatures were to gather to benefit you, they would not be able to benefit you except with what Allah has already decreed for you. And if they were to gather to harm you, they would not be able to harm you except with what Allah has already decreed against you. So when you ask, ask Allah, and when you seek help, seek help from Allah. And know that victory comes with patience, relief comes with affliction, and alongside hardship, there is ease. And know that the pen has run its course with that which has already been decreed." Issa bin Mohammed Al-Qurashi is not reliable.
