وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ: «يَا غُلَامُ احْفَظِ اللَّهَ يَحْفَظْكَ احْفَظِ اللَّهَ تَجِدْهُ تُجَاهَكَ وَإِذَا سَأَلْتَ فَاسْأَلِ اللَّهَ وَإِذَا اسْتَعَنْتَ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْأُمَّةَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَى أَنْ يَنْفَعُوكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَنْفَعُوكَ إِلَّا بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَلَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى أَنْ يَضُرُّوكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَضُرُّوكَ إِلَّا بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ رُفِعَتِ الأقلام وجفَّت الصُّحُف» رَوَاهُ أَحْمد وَالتِّرْمِذِيّ
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه narrated that one day he was riding behind Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم who said (to him), "Son, be mindful of (the commands of) Allah, Allah will be mindful of you (for, it is as (من كان لله كان الله له) - he who becomes Allah's, Allah too becomes his). If you be mindful of Allah, you will find Him with you (with His bounties for you).When you (wish to) ask for something, ask it from Allah (alone) and when you seek help, seek help (only) from Allah. And, know that if all the creatures were to get together to benefit you to some extent, they will not be able to benefit you except to the extent Allah has decreed for you. And so, were they to get together to hurt yu to some extent, they will not be able to hurt you, except to the extent Allah has decreed for you. The pens have been raised (and put aside) and the scrolls are dry." (This refers to the record of predestination.)
