عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَى فَاطِمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: وَذَلِكَ مِنَ السَّحَرِ) فَأَيْقَظَنَا لِلصَّلَاةِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فَصَلَّى هَوِيًّا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَنَا حِسًّا، قَالَ: فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْنَا فَأَيْقَظَنَا وَقَالَ: ((قُومَا فَصَلِّيَا))، قَالَ: فَجَلَسْتُ وَأَنَا أَعْرُكُ عَيْنَيَّ، وَأَقُولُ: إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا نُصَلِّي إِلَّا مَا كُتِبَ لَنَا، إِنَّمَا أَنْفُسُنَا بِيَدِ اللَّهِ، فَإِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَنَا بَعَثَنَا، قَالَ: فَوَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ وَيَضْرِبُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ: ((مَا نُصَلِّي إِلَّا مَا كُتِبَ لَنَا، مَا نُصَلِّي إِلَّا مَا كُتِبَ لَنَا، وَكَانَ الْإِنْسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me and Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) at the time of suhoor during the night, woke us up for prayer, and then returned to his house and prayed for a while. But when he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not sense any sound from us, he came to us again and, waking us up, said: Get up and pray. I got up, sat down, and while rubbing my eyes, said: By Allah! We will only pray as much as has been written in our destiny; our souls are only in the hand of Allah Almighty, when He wills, He will raise us. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went back, striking his thigh with his hand and saying as he went: We will only pray as much as has been written in our destiny, we will only pray as much as has been written in our destiny. The real matter is that man is the most argumentative of all things.
