وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ} وَقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ}. {وَلاَ تَقُولَنَّ لِشَيْءٍ إِنِّي فَاعِلٌ ذَلِكَ غَدًا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ}. {إِنَّكَ لاَ تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ}. قَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ نَزَلَتْ فِي أَبِي طَالِبٍ. {يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلاَ يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ}.

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 7479
This hadith about Khaif Bani Kinana records the Prophet’s (صلى الله عليه وسلم) plan for where to stay. He said, “If Allah wills, tomorrow we will encamp in Khaif Bani Kinana,” and the narration explains that he meant Al-Muhassab. The place is described in the hadith as where the pagans took an oath of disbelief against the Prophet. The key teaching is the Prophet’s wording: even when naming a clear plan for tomorrow, he attached it to Allah’s will. The hadith also preserves a place name and the reason it was known in that report, without adding further details outside the text.
What we learn from this hadith
- Future plans should be connected to Allah’s will.
- The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) named a specific place while still saying “if Allah wills.”
- The hadith identifies Khaif Bani Kinana as Al-Muhassab.
- A place can be remembered for a serious event linked to disbelief.
