[Machine] A Jewish man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "What a great nation you have, if it were not for the fact that they engage in injustice." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "How do they engage in injustice?" The Jewish man replied, "They say: whatever Allah wills and whatever you will." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Verily, he (the Muslim) says a saying that pleases Allah. They should say what Allah wills and then do as they please."
