Hadith of Zayd ibn Thabit (RA) from the Prophet (SAW)

حديث زيد بن ثابت، (1) عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم

Hadith 938:36

Ishaq ibn Sulayman narrated to us, he said: I heard Abu Sinan narrating from Wahb ibn Khalid al-Homsi, from Ibn al-Daylami, who said: Something regarding the Decree (Qadar) occurred in my mind, so I came to Zayd ibn Thabit and asked him. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, saying: "If Allah were to punish the inhabitants of His heavens and the inhabitants of His earth, He would punish them without being unjust to them. And if He were to have mercy on them, His mercy for them would be better for them than their deeds. And if you had a mountain of Uhud, or the like of the mountain of Uhud, in gold, and you spent it in the way of Allah, Allah would not accept it from you until you believe in the Decree, and know that what has befallen you could not have missed you, and that what has missed you could not have befallen you, and that if you were to die upon other than this, you would enter the Fire."

حدثنا إسحاق بن سليمان، قال: سمعت أبا سنان، يحدث عن وهب بن خالد الحمصي، عن ابن الديلمي، قال: وقع في نفسي شيء من القدر، فأتيت زيد بن ثابت، فسألته، فقال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: "لو أن الله عذب أهل سماواته وأهل أرضه، لعذبهم غير ظالم لهم، ولو رحمهم، كانت رحمته لهم خيرا من أعمالهم، ولو كان لك جبل أحد، أو مثل جبل أحد، ذهبا، أنفقته في سبيل الله، ما قبله الله منك حتى تؤمن بالقدر، وتعلم أن ما أصابك لم يكن ليخطئك، وأن ما أخطأك لم يكن ليصيبك، وأنك إن مت على غير هذا، دخلت النار "
